Army lauds gesture by IIT-B students

Mumbai, Mar 15: When IIT Bombay students associated with National Service Scheme uploaded posters dedicated to the armed forces on their Facebook page, little did they know that their posts will be appreciated and shared by the Army.

A series of 10 posters made by NSS students were uploaded on the NSS, IIT Bombay's official FB page as a prelude to the National Defence Day celebrations.

The posters acknowledged the contribution of the armed forces and thanked them for their service with a poem titled 'A Little More' which runs through the posters.

The poem was penned by the institute NSS volunteers with contributions from Jay Dedhia, a third-year student, who is not part of NSS.

"The post on the Indian Army page received more than 32,000 likes and over 3,000 shares," informed an excited student associated with the group.
