We all love our freedom and respect it. Independence day celebration is the symbol of our freedom. It is this day that makes us feel proud of the beautiful free India and also about the sacrifices made by our soldiers and freedom fighters. Here at ISBR, we celebrated Independence day in a simple yet very memorable manner.

               We had Mr Venkatesh Murthy fromYouth for Seva Presidency as our chief guest. He gave a brilliant speech on the significance of this day with a very special message of respecting our soldiers and freedom fighters’ sacrifices by living for the country, and respecting our country as our mother.

                After the flag hoisting ceremony, we proceeded to the auditorium for the cultural programs. It started off with a splendid and graceful classical dance performance by two of our students. Following that we had a contemporary dance performance by two other students that portrayed the sacrifices made by our soldiers and the pain that their loved ones go through. After that there was another dance performance by one of our students. A student also recited a heart warming poem on freedom struggle and independence. The main attraction of the day was the skit performance. It was based on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It portrayed a soldier who goes through a dilemma of keeping his country above all, even above his own family, leading to the loss of his family. The skit was brilliantly executed by our students’ splendid performances. It was really amazing with a touch of sentiment that gave us a constant reminder about the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers and the respect that they deserve.

                 The success of the program was owed to the collaborative hard work put forth by the students and staff. Everything, from the stage decoration to the anchoring and the performances was well planned and systematically executed, leading to the event being a wonderful success.
