The 33 Assam Rifles pipe band presented a series of patriotic and military compositions, with each performance carrying a message of courage, sacrifice, unity and devotion to the motherland, it said.

Among the compositions presented was "Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja," a patriotic march.

The band also presented "Jai Janmabhoomi," conveying the message that the motherland is more than a geographical territory and represents an emotional bond connecting people through their history, culture and shared identity.

Another presentation, "Vijay Bharat," was dedicated to the valour and sacrifices of India's armed forces.

The patriotic atmosphere continued with "Ae Watan Ae Watan," followed by military and slow-march compositions performed by the pipe band.

The programme also featured "Desho Ka Sartaj Bharat," celebrating India and its rich cultural diversity, followed by an impressive drum roll presentation.

One of the highlights was the rendition of "Sare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara," which reinforced the message of unity, harmony and the common bond shared by the people of India despite differences in language, region and culture.

Through the musical performances and accompanying messages, the programme emphasised that patriotism should not remain confined to slogans or ceremonial occasions, it said.

The programme particularly sought to inspire young people to understand the values of discipline, courage, responsibility, unity and service, while remembering the sacrifices made by generations of men and women in uniform for the security and integrity of the Nation.
