The year 2017 is a landmark year as it is the 75th year of ‘Quit India Movement’ and 70th

year of India's Independence. The Quit India Movement or the India August Movement was

a movement launched at the Bombay session of the All-India Congress Committee by

Mahatma Gandhi on 8 August 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British

Rule of India.

The Cripps Mission had failed, and on 8 August 1942, Gandhi made a call to Do or Die in

his Quit India speech delivered in Bombay at the Gowalia Tank Maidan. The All-India

Congress Committee launched a mass protest demanding what Gandhi called "An Orderly

British Withdrawal" from India. Even though it was wartime, the British were prepared to

act. Almost the entire leadership of the INC was imprisoned without trial within hours

of Gandhi's speech.

Veerayatan Institute of Engineering had also celebrated the 75th year of “Quit India

Movement” at its institute premise to pay tribute to the great martyrs, to inspire the youth
