INDEPENDENCE DAY 2025

The 79th Independence Day of India was celebrated in spectacular fashion on 15 August 2025, doubling as the landmark 30th Anniversary of Brand CAI. The campus was transformed into a resplendent sea of tri-colours, radiating patriotic fervor at every turn.

Students, dressed in vibrant traditional attire, greeted one another with spirited cries of Vande Mataram. Culinary Academy of India proudly welcomed Chef Suresh Kanna, Board Member of SICA, as the distinguished chief guest, accompanied by three eminent international chefs from Sri Lanka — Chef Gayan Basnayake, Chef Ravindra Jinadasa and Chef D.J.Manjula . In a warm gesture of friendship and unity, the Sri Lankan chefs were honored with traditional Indian kurtas and a momento of Appreciation. 

A breathtaking moment of unity swept the grounds of Kundan Bagh as 300 students rose in unison to sing the National Anthem, bringing the entire area to a reverent standstill. For three decades, CAI has proudly marked both 15 August and 26 January with unwavering tradition — a testament to our deep pride in India’s hard-won freedom and enduring spirit.
