Kargil Vijay Diwas

Kargil Vijay Divas or Kargil Diwas is observed every year on 26 July to honour India's victory over Pakistan in the Kargil War of 1999. As part of Operation Vijay, the Indian Army drove out intruders from Pakistan during this conflict and reclaimed Tiger Hill and other outposts. At Kargil, in Ladakh, the conflict lasted for more than 60 days.

Kargil Vijay Divas is commemorated annually in honour of the many Indian troops who lost their lives in battle. At SJBHS, we salute the brave hearts that embody the spirit of fearlessness, determination and loyalty to the nation.

The NCC cadets with their NCC officer, in their short but profound programme, saluted the noble efforts of the Indian Armed Forces in the safety of our Nation; paid tribute to the war time heroes; and remembered the families of the martyred soldiers.

The armed forces are a source of inspiration to many a student, a source of admiration for all Indians; and will always be a source of gratitude to the multitude of citizens of a free and democratic country.
