🇮🇳 A Bond of Strength, A Thread of Patriotism 🤝🎖️ Raksha Bandhan 🎀 is not merely a celebration of the sacred bond between a brother and sister 👦👧—it is a timeless tribute to love ❤️, duty 🫡, and protection 🛡️. This year, Doon Defence Academy 🎓 proudly captures the essence of the festival by portraying a sister tying a rakhi 🎁 on the wrist of a soldier 🪖—our nation's braveheart. In a world where borders are guarded with unmatched valor and families wait with silent prayers , this symbolic gesture reminds us that every soldier is a brother , every citizen a sibling. It is a promise beyond blood —a thread that ties the spirit of patriotism with the warmth of familial love. Sandeep Sir’s Doon Defence Academy salutes the selfless service of our armed forces and celebrates the unwavering support of families who stand strong behind them. This Raksha Bandhan, let us honor not just the bond of siblings but also the invisible thread that connects every Indian heart to our soldiers in olive green

Dear Students, This is to inform you that 09.08.2025 will be observed as a holiday on account of Raksha Bandhan. Normal work will resume on the next working day. Wishing you all a joyous and safe celebration. Regards,
