SPMVV students hold 100-metre Tricolour rally for Independence Day

In Tirupati, a university called SPMVV held a special celebration for India's Independence Day.

Students marched around the campus carrying a very long Indian national flag that was 100 metres long.

A flag that long is about as long as a football field!

They sang patriotic songs and shouted slogans about national unity.

They also remembered the freedom fighters who helped India become independent.

The event was part of a campaign called 'Har Ghar Tiranga,' which means 'a Tricolour flag in every home.'

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor V Uma, gave a speech to the students.

She told them to be kind, honest and caring citizens.

She said building a strong nation is everyone's job, not just the government's.

The students learned that even small good actions can help make India better and stronger.
