NDIE celebrated Independence Day with a bang! From heartily singing along to the National Anthem played, hearts swelling with pride for our dear homeland, to a vibrant and energetic dance performance; from the dulcet tunes of patriotic songs to a “quiz with a twist”, every performance paid rich tributes to our dear country. The interactive quiz tested everyone’s knowledge of Pakistan’s history and culture, and the audience and all the choirs sang with one voice, full of nationalistic fervor. The highlight of the event was a plantation drive led by Noman Budhani (faculty, NDIE). Students and faculty planted flowers and plants, pledging towards a greener Pakistan.
