It was a red letter day in the history of India when the country got her freedom on August 15, 1947. It took hundreds of years to us to break shackles of slavery. People of the country celebrate this festival every year with great pomp and show. The main Programme is celebrated at the Red Fort in New Delhi. Besides this festival is also celebrated in every city and town, in schools, colleges and universities.
Our college also celebrates this festival every year. For this year we had made all the preparations. In the morning our school NCC candets marched out in a procession through the main streets of the town with a band playing the National Anthem.
The Principal was the Chief Guest of the Programme. She hoisted the national flag on the school building sharp at 8:00 am. All the students and teachers saluted the flag and then sang the National Anthem. Then followed the Cultural Programme. Patriotic Poems and Songs were recited both by the teachers and the students. Some students also presented the group dance and skits. In the end the Principal delivered the short speech. She told the students about the supreme sacrifice the great martyrs gave for the sake of freedom. She also said that the freedom was very precious and it was very necessary to preserve it.
The Principal exhorted the students to follow the ideals of the great people like Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose etc. Then some more people delivered speeches on the occasion. All the speakers spoke on the significance of the historic day. They advised the students to become ideal citizens of the country.
In the end of the ceremony, sweet-balls were distributed among the students. There was also the friendly cricket match between the teachers and the students.
The Independence Day has a great importance in every citizen’s life. This day reminds us every year that freedom is sacred and citizens must do everything to ensure that it shall not be endangered.
