Srinath University wins quiz at Swadeshi Mela Jamshedpur

Jamshedpur: A quiz competition was organized today at the auditorium of the ongoing Swadeshi Mela in Gopal Maidan, Jamshedpur.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Amar Kumar Singh said that the Swadeshi Mela is not merely a celebration of Indian culture, tradition, and indigenous spirit, but also a strong step toward realizing the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). He added that Swadeshi is not confined to products or clothing; it is a way of thinking, a value, and a national sentiment.

Speaking on the occasion, Ajay Bhagarke remarked that a quiz competition is not just a game of questions and answers but a test of knowledge, speed, and patriotism. He emphasized that true patriotism comes from understanding one’s nation and promoting indigenous values.
