We these words...........................................................................

A very fine and pleasant morning to Rev. Father Jerald D’Souza , Rev. Father Thaddeus Bara, Sister Lilly, all the teachers and my dear friends. Today we are gathered over here to celebrate are 67^th republic day. I ..................., I ............ wishes you all a very happy Republic Day.

Twenty Sixth January holds an everlasting place in our national memory because it is the day when modern India was born. Under Mahatma Gandhi's moral and political leadership, the National Congress passed the Purna Swaraj resolution demanding complete independence from British rule in December 1929. Gandhiji organized nationwide celebrations on 26 January 1930 as Independence Day. From then on, the Nation took a pledge on this day every year to carry on the freedom struggle till we attained it.

Exactly twenty years later, in 1950, we adopted our charter of modernity, the Constitution. Tragically, Gandhiji had been martyred two years before, but the framework of a Constitution that has made India a role model for today's world was constructed out of his philosophy. Its essence lay in four principles: democracy; freedom of faith; gender equality; and an economic upsurge for those trapped in the curse of dire poverty and these have been made the guiding values of our country.

Being living in a democratic republic, we have freedom in mind, faith in words, pride in our heart and patriotism in our souls.

So let’s salute our nation on its 67^thhththth Republic Day.

To begin with the republic day function, I would like to call upon our honourable Principal to hoist the national flag, symbol of our national pride and identity.

Get ready for the national anthem.........................................................

The tricolour flutters majestically. The three colours on our national flag saffron, white and green symbolises sacrifice of the millions who died fighting for it and peace and prosperity that prevails in our nation. It reminds of our responsibility that we have towards our nation.

Now, it’s time for the march past, which will be carried over by the students of class 9 to 12 headed by the student council.

And the drum beat starts.......................................

The march past is headed by our Head boy ravi verma and head girl juweria baig holding the majestic anthonian flag and marching forward with full vigour and enthusiasm followed by

Now its time fot the investiture ceremony. The investiture ceremony is one of the first momentous occasions of the school where the newly elected and selected members of the school’s senate are officially vested with their powers and positions.

Students of today are the visionaries and torch bearers of tomorrow, when we develop personality, skill and mind we develop responsible human beings with leadership qualities.

Today, as we celebrate investiture of our new student councilors; we would also like to thank our graduating student leaders in the student council for their contribution to the school.

It is good to remember that leaders grow; they are not made.

So to begin with the investiture ceremony I would like to call upon our director Ma’m and Academic Director Sir along with Principal Sir to confer our students with badges and sashes.

The bugle call has announced the beginning of the investiture ceremony. The day is brought into being by an assurance of a brighter future as the new office bearers get ready to be invested.

I hope that these young leaders will uphold the values of the school and keep ‘Sacred Hearts School’s Flag flying high while discharging their duties honestly and impartially.

I can feel the turbulence around. The atmosphere is electrifying with anticipation.

Well! How different is this day; Dear audience, you will discover as the colors of the todays programme will unfold before you.

It is said speech is the mirror of the soul, as he speaks so is he.

So i would like to invite aryika patel to express her views on this republic day.

Thank you aryika your views are really inspiring and motivating.

Now i request the choir to sing a beautiful song.............

Dance is an art and an expression, what cannot be said can be expressed. So now here is the dance performance by the juniors who will express their love for the nation through the medium of the dance.

It was indeed an awesome and graceful performance, wasn’t it was?

Yes it was................Moving on to the next programme is the beautiful and melodious song ..............................................................................................so invite the school choir to fill the charisma in the aura by their melodious voices.....

Moving on our last performance is a short skit by the students of class 8 and 9 who is going to portrait the importance and advantage of living in a democratic and republican country........

Thank u for the performance. It was really amazing to watch you people.

Now I invite our honourable principal to share his message on this auspicious day..

Thank you father, your message was really heart touching and we will try to implement the same in our life.

Atlast in the end, I would like to say let not pass this republic day as any other holiday. Instead look within and think that whether we are fulfilling our fundamental duties or not.

The values and ideas have to be worked out by the thriving society which is not possible in a dormant society which do not care for anything or question on what is happening around them. So my dear friends awake from the deep sleep that we are in and march a step forward for a better society of tomorrow. Every action done today will have it consequence in future...

With this I .......................................take your leave.

Thank u for listening us patiently and once again a very happy republic day.....

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.................................
