The flag hoisting at the iLEAD rooftop was followed by the national anthem and chorus of "Vande Mataram" and "Jai Hind" as the tricolor fluttered high in the wind. Everyone gathered back at the auditorium with cultural events by iLEAD students which included songs, skits and dance presentation that depicted the spirit of true harmony and freedom. There was also a photography contest arranged by iLEAD's Photography and Film Club (mentored by faculties Mr.Archan Mitra and Mr.Biswadeep Bhattacharya) themed on freedom.
