Kargil Vijay Diwas, named after the successful Operation Vijay, is celebrated in India on 26th July. On this date in 1999, India successfully took command of the high outposts which had been lost to Pakistan. The Kargil war was fought for more than 60 days, ended on 26 July and resulted in loss of life on both the sides. The war ended with India regaining control of all the previously held territory, hence re-establishing the status quo ante bellum.
In memory of the 527 sacrifices and the innumerable lives which were at stake, Kargil Vijay Divas is organized every year to commemorate the heroes of the Kargil war. PET Engineering College, in all its glorious year, has never forgotten to respect and honor our national heroes.
The vote of thanks was proposed by Dr. J. Sybi Cynthia, HOD/MCA and Mr. G. P. Rajesh, NSS program officer made the necessary arrangements for the program
