"Our flag will remain high...," sang our students in an elegantly simple ceremony in front of the temporary building of the university at Nayanmarmoola, Kasaragod.
The vice chancellor Dr. Jancy James raised the national flag at 7:30 am in front of the CUK crowd of teachers, students, administrative staff and security personnel. Dressed equally elegant in her simplicity, she was eloquent about the vision and the future of the university:

"It is the simplest of all Republic days that I have participate in as an official. Nevertheless, it is no less. Maybe, it means much more as we make history here. It is the first celebration of the Republic day in the history of the Central University of Kasaragod. The first Independence day of India and the first Republic Day of India were also simple affairs. However, when our nation the 60th Republic Day today, we have very elaborate programmes that fit the image of our strong nation. As we are in the process of forming the future of India--the precious students who are wholeheartedly present here, I feel that we are also making history in the temporary campus. It will grow to become a great institution of learning that India will be proud of, and one for which Kerala can always hold its head high."
In the small function that followed, students, teachers and administrative staff participated. Songs, distribution of sweets and a hearty breakfast followed. The spirit of togetherness characterised the simple function. Hope it will remain as strong in the years to come.
