Independence Day Special
On Independence Day, our students’ hard work and dedication paid off and we won 1st prize for our incredible dance performance under the leadership of Hemant Sir. The theme of the performance was “ Say No To Drugs,” along with a wonderful performance they also promoted a strong message for the youth. This prize is a testament to the phrase that “ Hard work pays off”.
The School's Independence Day Celebration was a lively event that showcased a variety of activities to mark the beginning of the country's freedom—the day kicked off with a Flag-Hoisting Ceremony, showcasing the pride and unity of the nation. Cultural performances by the students, including songs, dances, and speeches highlighted the richness of our heritage and the struggle for independence, entertaining and educating the audience. It ended with a powerful speech by our principal emphasizing the values of freedom and future goals for students, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. It was an inspiring day for everyone involved.
Pre-Primary Section
The Pre-Primary Section celebrated Independence Day with great enthusiasm and patriotism. The children presented a vibrant cultural program, showcasing their talents through dance, music, and poetry. The Principal addressed the gathering, providing valuable insights into the significance of 15th August and the true meaning of independence. This helped the children understand the importance of this historic day. Various activities were organized to engage the children, including flag-making in different ways. This hands-on experience allowed them to express their creativity while learning about the national flag. The celebration was a resounding success, with children taking away valuable lessons about independence and its significance. The day ended on a high note, with the children enjoying themselves immensely.
Safety of Women in India: An Ongoing Challenge
Recently, I have gone through the news report of the doctor murder case in Kolkata and I think that women’s safety in India is still a major issue, despite efforts to improve it. The 2012 Nirbhaya case drew global attention and led to new laws and faster courts for dealing with such cases. However, problems like harassment, domestic violence, and discrimination still continue. These issues persist because of weak enforcement, social attitudes, and problems within the judiciary system. The Nirbhaya case still remains a landmark in the fight for women's safety and justice in India, highlighting the need for continued reforms and societal change to address violence. People say that, it is a sin to give freedom and opportunities to girls. But hoping and living as a girl in this country is a sin.

The love of one’s country is a trait that one learns independently. As a child when you open your eyes on 15th August, the first sound that knocks on your ears is of the television. Your dad is watching Doordarshan, parades, and flag hoistings accompanied by patriotic songs throughout. You then proceed to march to your school or maybe the local government school, and then again the ensemble of parades, dances, and speeches are encountered. In all these events, one must have an epiphany that the freedom fighters who gave the eternal sacrifice are watching from above because it is their sacrifices that led to this moment. India is now a country but once it was an idea. An idea that took blood and pain of thousands if not lakhs to become a reality. So, As we proceed with our daily lives, we must also know that we carry the same eternal flame of patriotism as our ancestors.
