KOCHI: Every year on January 26, She always hoped she would be able to watch it in person someday.

Cut to January 26 this year, Sr Noelle will watch the Republic Day parade from the stand in the cold winter air of Delhi beaming with pride as she will create history as the first nun to lead a contingent of volunteers of National Service Scheme (NSS) from Kerala.

Sr Noelle, a professor of Malayalam at the Newman College in Thodupuzha, has been active in the NSS for the past five years and considers her work in it a part of her "patriotic zeal". She was picked by the regional directorate of the NSS from over 3,000 officers to lead the contingent of 12 volunteers from Kerala and Lakshadweep.
