A festival is an occasion of enjoyment and celebration. It brings joy and laughter thereby strengthening our bond of relationship and friendship. Every nation celebrates January 26th with pomp and grandeur. The significance of this day is that a pledge was taken on 26th January 1930 on the bank of river Ravi to attain ‘Swaraj was fulfilled on this day in the year 1950. India thus became sovereign, democratic and republic. Warm Greetings to everyone present here with special mention to our Honorable principal, vice principal and teachers.
I, Apurva Calvin, the School Pupil Leader, would like to extend my regards and express my gratitude towards my teachers, for giving me the opportunity to felicitate the Chief Guest Capt. Clement David on this auspicious occasion of Republic Day. Who else can be the best choice to be the chief guest on this auspicious occasion than a man who has served the military? Yes, I am proud to stand before our chief guest to welcome a stalwart, a dynamite who helped us to enjoy the freedom we are experiencing.
A man who fought against the British and got us freedom. It is indeed our honour to have you sir with us and we wholeheartedly thank you for gracing this occasion with your august presence. We have gathered today, as you all know, to celebrate the 73rd Republic Day which is celebrated nationwide.
Any Indian festival attracts the world due to their harmony, variety, colour and excitement. Being a multi-lingual and multi-racial country, we bring to you a colourful programme on this day. Sit back and enjoy a patriotic Friday.
