The principal of the school, Ms.Chitra hoisted the National flag. The petals of rose fell on us. The students sang a song in honor of the national flag. She made an impressive speech and said, “Colonial powers were transferred to India on August 15, 1947. The Constituent Assembly, to who power was to be transferred, met to celebrate India's independence at mid night on August 14, 1947. It was then that the free India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his famous "Tryst with Destiny" speech.  Today we celebrate the 73rd Independence Day of our great Nation.  On this joyous occasion I convey my greetings and good wishes to all and pray for their peace, progress and prosperity. Today, India is looked upon as the largest and most vibrant democracy in the world.  In recent years India has been well known the world over for its achievements in several fields, particularly in the arena of Information Technology.   The greatest achievement of this country is that in spite of its vast diversity and a population of 1/6 of entire humanity, the country has continued to remain intact and strong even after over seven decades of independence. A great challenge to be faced by India in the near future is shortage of food. India being predominantly agriculture based economy, and with a vast population of
National cultural events by school children
over a billion people has to be self sufficient in terms of food production to feed its people. Thanks to its great farming community, ever since Independence India has been largely self sufficient in terms of food crops and has always grown crops much beyond its needs.
India has always had a vision and a message for the world. From the very beginning of our civilization we have believed that the world is one and humanity is a single family. India is committed to establish ties of friendship and co-operation with all countries. India's engagement with the world is intensifying both in the economic and political fields. India is a country that has, and is, contributing to regional and global peace and stability”. The guest of honour Mr.Pichaimani asked the participants to take pledge to safeguard the freedom of nation. He also reminded us of great sons of India, Mahatma Gandhi, Pt. Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, and their sacrifices to the nation. After that different groups of students presented a programme. Everyone liked the programme.Prizes were distributed the students and sweets were distributed to the participants. In the end, all stood in attention. All the students, teachers, parents and participants sang the National Anthem in chorus. With this the function was over. -Kris
