On February 6, Techno India University observed Indian Coast Guard Day with profound respect and a deep sense of national pride, alongside the Regional Award Ceremony held at the Coast Guard Regional Headquarters (NE), Kolkata, on 06 February 2026. The occasion stood as a solemn reminder of the brave men and women who guard India’s vast maritime frontiers with unwavering courage, often at the cost of their own lives. It was a day not just of observance, but of heartfelt gratitude and collective remembrance.
To honour these vigilant guardians, students of Techno India University presented a moving cultural tribute through expressive dance and soulful singing. Every rhythm, gesture, and lyric reflected deep admiration for the discipline, dedication, and sacrifice that define the Indian Coast Guard. The performances transformed the stage into a space of reverence, where art emerged as a powerful expression of patriotism and respect.
Indian Coast Guard Day, observed annually on February 1, marks the establishment of the Indian Coast Guard in 1977 as an independent armed force dedicated to maritime security. The day recognises the force’s critical role in protecting India’s coastline, conducting life-saving search and rescue missions, safeguarding marine ecosystems, and responding swiftly to disasters and humanitarian crises. Often working beyond public attention, the Indian Coast Guard remains a silent yet formidable shield of the nation at sea.
The atmosphere throughout the programme was deeply emotional. As the performances unfolded, a sense of humility and pride filled the air, reminding everyone present of the immense responsibility shouldered by those who serve the nation at sea. For the students, the moment went beyond artistic expression—it became a connection with the values of service, sacrifice, and national duty.
Techno India University fraternity remains sincerely thankful and truly obliged for the trust and platform graciously extended by the Indian Coast Guard. Such engagements leave a lasting impression on young minds, inspiring them to acknowledge and appreciate the unseen efforts that safeguard the nation’s security and sovereignty.
At Techno India University, education is envisioned as a holistic journey—one that shapes both intellect and character. The observance of Coast Guard Day reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to nurturing socially responsible citizens who uphold courage, discipline, and service to the nation alongside academic and professional excellence.
As the programme drew to a close, what lingered was a quiet yet powerful sentiment—of pride, respect, and gratitude. While no tribute can truly match the sacrifices made by the Indian Coast Guard, the gesture carried the collective appreciation of an entire university. Techno India University salutes these guardians of our shores, whose bravery enables the nation to remain secure and resilient.
