The expo, being held at SVU Campus School to commemorate the ‘Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav’, the 75th year of Indian independence, proved to be an opportunity to get a glimpse of the country’s glorious past.
Tirupati Airport Director M. Raj Kishore and Sri Venkateswara University Registrar O. Md. Hussain participated in the inaugural ceremony.
Archives Director V. Rangaraj said that the event was an attempt to recall the State’s glory and present it in pristine form for the present generation. “The series of events conducted to commemorate India’s 75 years of independence started on March 12 and our endeavour is to showcase the State’s glorious past,” he said.
Students gathered around the galleries on ancient records, manuscripts, palm leaf writings and watched the same in awe.
