At the stroke of the midnight hour,
when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes,
which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new,
when an age ends and when the sole of a nation long suppressed find utterance”.
So said Pt. Jawaharlal
Nehru on the eve of India’s Independence. We pay homage to
countless freedom fighters as we celebrate the 68th Independence Day.
The students of our
school were filled with patriotism and love for the country. Our school
presented mélange of patriotic activities which created an atmosphere of
national pride.
It was an immense honour for us to have with us our esteemed chief guest Sardar Surender Singh
Ji (President Gurudwara Chandi Ki Taksal). We were also blessed to have with us our respected
Secretary Sir Sardar Gurmeet Singh Ji.
The programme started
with the unfurling of the tri colour by our highly regarded Chief guest which was followed by National
Anthem. Followed by this was a colourful presentation of cultural events.
The choir of students of Class VI filled the ambiance with
nationalism. The students of class VI were dressed up in saffron, white and
green colour to demonstrate their unity and discipline in the form of mass drill.
The senior students presented a patriotic skit which traced the atrocities and
difficult times faced by our countrymen before India finally won freedom at
midnight on August 15, 1947.
The senior as well as the junior students also tapped their feet
and captivated the audience with their energetic performance on patriotic
songs. Not behind were our tiny tots of Pre-primary section who presented a
very small and mesmerizing musical skit displaying their devotion and love
towards their country.
At the end our esteemed guest Sardar Surinder Singh Ji
encouraged the students with his inspiring words and wished all the students a
Very Happy Independence Day. Our respected Secretary Sir Sardar Gurmeet Singh
ji also inspired the students with his speech emphasizing the importance of
this day and the meaning of ‘independence in each one of our lives.
Last but not the least our valued Principal Ma’am
Ms.Gayatri Kulshreshta expressed her gratitude towards our guests for sparing
their valuable time. She also guided our young students to imbibe in them the
values that will facilitate them and their
country to prosper.
