Kanpur: Students, teachers and staff of the college where Ram Nath Kovind studied up to intermediate level are planning hearty celebrations for Tuesday when he will be sworn-in as the 14th President of India.
Thrilled over one of their own ascending to the top-most constitutional post in the country, the management of the BNSD Intermediate College has decided to illuminate the premises and organise a community feast on Tuesday.
The college is also busy making preparations for a live telecast of the oath-taking ceremony for its enthusiastic students and staff members.
Kovind’s sister-in-law who left for the swearing-in ceremony, prepared ‘Rasiaur’, a sweet dish made with rice and sugarcane juice, and ‘Laddus’, which are among Kovind’s favourite foods. Principal R.C. Singh said the students would distribute sweets outside the college in the city.
