Around one crore school students across Rajasthan on Friday set a ”world record” by singing patriotic songs under the ’Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ campaign, officials said. Addressing students at the Sawai Mansingh stadium, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot congratulated the students for the achievement.
”I am happy that the World Book of Records, London, which is a prestigious institution, listened to the songs sung by one crore students and presented a certificate to the state government,” he said. Songs like ’Vande Mataram’, ’Sare Jahaan Se Acha’ and the national anthem were sung by the students for around 25 minutes to set the record.
The chief minister said the new generation should inculcate the values of brotherhood and sacrifice as they are the future of the country. He said his government wanted the state to progress on the path of development.
