Every year the first Sunday of August is celebrated as Friendship Day in India. The day is dedicated to the importance of friendships and how it shapes us as people. It is the purest form of human relationships that is not strung by blood but by love. The day was first celebrated in 1935 to celebrate the strong bonds and dedication between friends despite several differences of caste, colour, race, and culture. In India, Friendship Day is celebrated by tying a friendship band on their friend’s wrists and making promises to their best friends. Presidium students celebrated Friendship Day with the same zeal and attitude. They shared about the qualities their friends acquire and exhibited their bond by making cards for them.
