Overview
The Pro Bono Club, Sharda School of Law, Sharda University is organising “Azadi Utsav 2026” throughout August to commemorate India’s Independence Day through a series of meaningful awareness, educational, and community-oriented activities.

As part of the Utsav, a range of activities will be organised for diverse sections of society, including psychological awareness and engagement sessions at the Juvenile Observation Home for Boys and Girls, a lecture on Constitutional Values for professionals, Visit to Prime Minister Museum, an essay writing competition on “Viksit Bharat @2047,” and an interactive school programme on Constitutional Rights, Duties, Values & the Spirit of Independence at Ratan Public School, Greater Noida.
