Gaiety
and patriotic fervour marked 70th Independence Day celebration at Witty
International School, Pawan Baug on 12th August, 2016. Students of Primary
Section organised a cultural programme which included beautiful dance
performances, speeches and motivational songs as the highlights of the
celebration.
The
programme began with the views on the significance of the day through a speech
delivered by the Wittians. To keep alive the flame of patriotism, the students
performed a spectacular patriotic welcome dance which enthralled the onlookers.
Our honourable Principal Bijo Kurian welcomed the gathering and introduced the
Guest of Honour for the day, ACP Suresh Shinde. Mr. Bijo Kurian addressed the
students that patriotism is a national feeling which should be in the hearts of
every citizen; not only on this day but everyday of your life.
Through his
words he conveyed the students to value our freedom and fulfil the duties as
responsible citizens of India. He said, “Freedom is a gift, a privilege and a
challenge. It does not consist in doing what one wants to do but doing what is
expected to do.”
The
Guest of Honour, ACP Suresh Shinde reiterated the values that students should
develop to bloom as worthy citizens of India. He rightly said, “Our country
which was under the foreign powers for centuries is now free and has a vision
of becoming a super power because of the sacrifices of the martyrs and the
army.” He also called the youth as the wealth and the hope of the nation who
will lead the country and make it a great nation of the world.
Students
had an interactive session with him as he answered their questions and quenched
their curiosity about his achievements and struggles. This inspirational
session was followed by Fashion Show presented by the students of Grade 1 which
paid tribute to the patriots and martyrs who laid down their lives in the
freedom struggle.
Students'
choir presented a melodious patriotic song on this occasion with enthusiasm and
zeal. The skits depicted the struggle of the freedom fighters like Gandhiji and
Nehruji’s role in attaining freedom for our country. They were seamless
performances and the message of Independence went out loud and clear.
Dance
performances depicted the unity in diversity of the country. Wittians
were well prepared and carried themselves well on stage. The programme
concluded with the Vote of Thanks and National Anthem. Indeed, it was a day of
joy, a day to love and respect our country and make it a better place for
Indians to live and experience the freedom, peace and unity in diversity.
