Subhash Chandra Bose, often hailed as “Netaji,” was a revolutionary leader whose passion for India’s freedom burned brighter than fear or personal gain. Born in 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha, Bose rejected a promising career in the Indian Civil Service to dedicate himself to India’s independence struggle. His belief in self-reliance, unity, and the power of collective effort resonated deeply with his iconic leadership of the Indian National Army (INA).
Bose’s clarion call, “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom,” galvanized thousands of Indians to join the INA. This unwavering conviction was reflected in the INA’s marching anthem, “Kadham Kadham Badhaye Ja”, which became a symbol of persistence, bravery, and collective resolve. It encouraged individuals to keep moving forward despite adversities, embodying Bose’s philosophy of relentless progress toward a higher purpose.
Influence on 108 Springboard
Inspired by Bose’s leadership and the anthem’s message of resilience, 108 Springboard integrates these values into its mission. The institute, much like Bose’s INA, believes in empowering individuals to take charge of their destiny. The anthem’s spirit of “Keep marching forward” influences the core of 108 Springboard’s courses, which are designed to help participants embrace challenges, build unity, and stay committed to their personal and professional growth. By encouraging individuals to overcome obstacles and continuously improve, 108 Springboard echoes Bose’s timeless principles of courage, persistence, and a unified vision for progress.
