RAMBAN: Continuing the weeklong celebrations to mark 150 glorious years of India’s National Song “Vande Mataram,” the District Administration Ramban, under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner, Mohammad Alyas Khan, organized a series of vibrant and patriotic activities across schools and colleges in the district.

The district administration has encouraged all citizens, students, and officials to participate in the national celebration by recording and uploading videos of themselves singing the National Song on the official portal. Participation certificates will be automatically generated from the portal upon verification. Participants are required to sing at least one stanza or the full song live, ensuring that their faces are visible and the audio is clear for successful validation and certification.
