DEHRADUN, 25 Jan: The 38th National Games Uttarakhand torch, ‘Tejaswini’, made its way to Tula‘s Institute and Tula‘s International School on Saturday amidst a wave of enthusiasm and applause.
Having traveled 3,823 km across 99 locations in 13 districts, the torch’s journey stands as a testament to the determination and unity of the state. The initiative was flagged off by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, on December 26, last year in Haldwani, symbolising the state’s pride in hosting the prestigious National Games.
The arrival of the torch at Tula’s Institute was marked by a grand reception. Vice-Chairman Raunak Jain, Vice-president Technology Raghav Garg, Headmaster Raman Koushal, HOD Sports Deepak Rawat, along with faculty members, students, and NCC cadets, came together to welcome ‘Tejaswini’.
Beginning at the institute’s main gate, the torch made its way to the cricket field, then to Tula‘s International School’s football field, and finally across all the sports grounds. The event was further enlivened by the presence of the mascot, ‘Mauli,’ as students and staff gathered for memorable photos.
Reflecting on the significance of the event, Raunak Jain stated, “It is an honor to host the 38th National Games torch at our campus. The theme ‘Sankalp Se Shikhar Tak’ resonates deeply with our mission to inspire young minds to achieve their dreams through determination and hard work. This moment ignites not just the spirit of sportsmanship but also the resolve to aim for excellence.”
