Sahil Chawla, a student of B.Voc. (E-Commerce and Digital Marketing) at Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar, has been chosen by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India, to take part in the Republic Day Parade scheduled to be held in Delhi on 26 January. The final screening for selection involved three stages: the first at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar; the second at Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo; and the third at the North Zone Pre-RD Camp at Chitkara University, Rajpura. In this rigorous selection process—which evaluated parade marching, cultural performance, physical fitness, and interviews—only four students from Punjab were selected. Sahil will undergo parade training in Delhi from 1 January to 31 January 2026 in preparation for the Republic Day celebration.
