On the occasion of the 79th Independence Day at Sona Devi University, Ghatsila, Chancellor Prabhakar Singh hoisted the national flag in the university premises. After the national anthem, he addressed faculty members from various departments, staff, students, and attendees, saying that salutations are due to those martyrs because of whom we are celebrating this festival today. He stated that we will achieve true freedom only when we eradicate social evils and harmful practices. Mr. Singh emphasized that in order to preserve our freedom, we must also uphold the values and fulfill the duties laid down by the Constitution and society. The goal of Sona Devi University, he said, should be value-based education.

Although many universities operate across the country, the condition of higher education in the state is not very good. Even though it has been 25 years since the formation of Jharkhand, it is time to reflect on what the residents here have truly gained. Chancellor Prabhakar Singh said that to make the nation developed, we should contribute in every way possible for the benefit of the country.

Vice-Chancellor of Sona Devi University, Dr. J.P. Mishra, also stressed that we must do whatever we can in the interest of the nation. Remembering the struggle, sacrifice, and devotion of the great freedom fighters, he said that if we want to move forward in life, we must be prepared to struggle, as struggle is the need of the times. To make the country developed, stagnation must be eliminated, and for that, new research should be carried out in various fields.

On this occasion, the faculty of Sona Devi University presented the patriotic song Sare Jahan Se Achha along with several other songs dedicated to the brave soldiers of the nation. The students of the university gave an emotional theatrical performance related to Operation Sindoor. Several other cultural programs were also presented by the students.
