Chandigarh Snehalaya girls celebrate Raksha Bandhan with soldiers

The Department of Social Welfare, Women and Child Development, Chandigarh, in collaboration with the NCC Group and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), organised a special Raksha Bandhan celebration for the children of Snehalaya for Girls, while also highlighting the significance of the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign.

The children were warmly received at the Air Force School, 3BRD, and the ITBP campus. They tied specially handcrafted Tiranga rakhis to officers and soldiers of the Indian Air Force, ITBP and NCC cadets, creating moments filled with warmth, pride and patriotic spirit.

The celebration was aimed to bringing happiness to children who have never had the opportunity to celebrate Raksha Bandhan in a family setting, making them feel cherished and integrated into the community through love, care and the symbolic promise of protection.

As part of the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, children from various Child Care Institutions in the city prepared Tiranga rakhis, showcasing their creativity and patriotism.
