COMPLETING 150 YEARS OF VANDE MATARAM.

The year 2025 marks 150 Years of Vande Mataram. Our national song “Vande Mataram”, by Bankimchandra Chatterji was written during the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Navami which was on 7th November in 1875. Vande Mataram first appeared in the literary journal Bangadarshan as part of his novel Anandamath. The song, invoking the Motherland as the embodiment of strength, prosperity and divinity, gave poetic expression to India’s awakening spirit of unity and self-respect. It soon became an enduring symbol of devotion to the nation.
So to celebrate this the students, teaching and non teaching staff of St. Andrews College of Physiotherapy assembled outside the college premies around 9:30 AM to collectively sing the Vande Mataram song. All the students and staff sang the song with great enthusiasm.
