IIT-B students paid Faceboook tribute to Indian Army for National Defence Day

To celebrate the National Defence Day, IIT Bombay’s National Service Scheme students have uploaded about 10 posters and dedicated to the Indian Army on their Facebook page. Acknowledging the contribution of the armed forces and thanking them for their service, they have also dedicated a poem called 'A Little More' to the army.

The posters were also shared by the Indian Army’s Facebook page, saying, "We appreciate the gesture by the students of National Service Scheme, IIT Bombay for the series of posters made for the #ArmedForces."

"The post on the Indian Army page received 32,000+ likes and over 3,000 shares," a student associated with the group told ET.

Not only this, IIT Bombay students have also set up a YouTube channel, called ‘Open Learning Initiative’ so that language does not become a barrier in education.

The channel would feature educational videos that would be recorded by volunteers, mostly undergraduate students, in multiple regional languages. As of now, the channel has over 100 such videos on science and maths in seven Indian languages including Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Odia, Malayalam and Telugu.
