Republic day and the Independence Day of India are very special for the society. As Indians we are proud of our rich culture and also proud to maintain our traditions. We are also indebted to both Abhinandana Kodanda and Dr.Swati Raut for training our girls the classical dances and also encouraging them to take exams to reach high standards. Through both tutors many of girls have become professional dancers and display at programmes arranged around the country.

We were honoured to have the Mayor of Preston,Councillor Phil crowe and Chairman of Lancashire County Council, Councillor Tim Ashton present to witness the programme .Once again our secretary Ashitbhai delegated some of the tasks to his team and did the master of ceremony with Hitenbhai Barber.

A very big thank you to Abhi our centre manager for bringing the programme together and Ashitbhai and team for all the background work. Long live India. Bharat Mata ki Jai.
