In the early hours of a cold and foggy morning, the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) community gathered at the Athletics Ground for the “Republic Day Patriotic Run 2025,” an energetic and inspiring MINI MARATHON organised by the University Games Committee. The event, celebrating the spirit of unity, freedom, and patriotism, marked the commencement of AMU’s 76th Republic Day celebrations, which will culminate on January 26 with a grand ceremony at Strachey Hall.
