All higher educational institutions have been asked to make the necessary arrangements, and to encourage students and faculty to take active participation in the event “and make it a grand success”.

UGC has also urged higher education institutes to organise activities such as short skits/ film sketches on themes such as ‘India on Moon’, ‘Moon is not far away’, ‘Lunar Journey of New lndia’, ‘Self-reliant lndia’s Chandrayaan’ etc.
