Independence Day
Speech #1
Good morning to all my respected teachers, parents, and dear friends.
We have all gathered here to celebrate Independence Day. Today, on this auspicious occasion, I have got the opportunity to address you all, thank you very much for this.
Friends, as we know that August 15 is a day of honour and pride for every Indian. On 15 August 1947, all our freedom fighters and revolutionaries freed our country from the British Empire by putting their lives at stake. So we celebrate this day historically in his memory and honour, because on this day we got freedom from British rule, which is incomparable.
The British government oppressed the people of India for many years and kept us as slaves. On the 15th of August, we got freedom from the slavery of the British and we became completely independent. In the relentless pursuit of this freedom, we also lost many great people in our country. Many great people were born in our country who did not even care about their lives for independence and willingly sacrificed for the country. The most important contribution to the independence of our country has been made by Mahatma Gandhi, who forced him to leave India by using weapons like truth and non-violence against British rule. There were many other freedom fighters like Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, etc. who contributed to the independence of India and liberated the country from British slavery. We are very fortunate to have found such great freedom fighters and revolutionaries in history and they liberated not only the country but also the coming generations from the slavery of the British. For this reason, we are free today and we are achieving new achievements day by day.
Today, 78 years after independence, our country is moving towards progress in every field. Our country is writing a new chapter every day in different fields like military strength, education, technology, sports, and many other fields, it is writing a new dimension every day. Today, our military strength is equipped with modern weapons, which have the power to annihilate any enemy in the blink of an eye. As we know that our country has been an agricultural country since ancient times and after 15 August 1947 our agriculture sector has also changed a lot. After independence, we produce more quantities of crops using new techniques in agriculture and new methods of growing crops, And today our country is at the forefront of exporting grains. In 1965, during the war between India and Pakistan, the then Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri gave the slogan ”Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan!” and today this slogan proves to be quiet.
Today, after independence, we have made a lot of progress in the field of science as well. Due to this scientific technique, India has reached the moon and Mars today. By innovating scientific technology every day, we are taking the country towards new progress. We are adopting science and technology in every field for ourselves. By adopting science and technology in the fields of military, agriculture, and education, we have been able to make ourselves at par with progressive countries. After independence, we have made progress in every field and are writing new dimensions every day.
On this occasion of independence, while we are discussing the new dimensions of the progress of the country, we should never forget the scene of slavery where our great freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for freedom. Even today, our eyes become moist by remembering those great people. In modern times, we should not forget those great revolutionaries, because today we are living our life freely, the credit goes to these people.
Addressing you today on this auspicious occasion, I end my speech by paying my respects and tributes to those great revolutionaries.
Many thanks to all of you.
Bharat Mata ki Jai! Jai Hind!
Speech #2
Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends,
Today, as we gather to celebrate India’s 79th Independence Day on August 15, 2025, we stand on the shoulders of brave souls who transformed our nation’s destiny. After nearly two centuries of British colonial rule, India finally attained freedom on 15 August 1947, when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru delivered the iconic “Tryst with Destiny” speech, proclaiming the birth of a free republic.
The sacrifices behind that moment were immense. From the 1857 Revolt to the Swadeshi movement of 1905, the Non‑Cooperation and Salt Satyagraha movements of the 1920s–30s, and the Quit India Movement of 1942, countless heart‑wrenching struggles shaped our path. Figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sarojini Naidu, Rani Lakshmibai, and others paid the ultimate price for our liberty.
Emerging from that dark era, modern India has made remarkable strides. Today we are the world’s fourth-largest economy, per capita income has nearly doubled since 2014, healthcare and education reach millions, and our infrastructure—like the world‑highest Chenab Rail Bridge and Vande Bharat Express to Srinagar—reflects bold ambition.
In space, India leads with missions like the joint NISAR satellite project with NASA, and ambitious plans like Gaganyaan and a national space station.
To honour our forebears, we must commit ourselves to “Viksit Bharat @2047”—a developed, inclusive, and sustainable India. Let us uphold unity in diversity, empower every citizen, and pursue excellence in science, arts, industry, and governance. Our forefathers gave us a vision of a free India—now, it is our duty to build a strong, democratic, progressive nation.
Jai Hind!
Speech #3
Respected dignitaries, teachers and friends,
It is my privilege to commemorate India’s Independence Day today, 15 August 2025, marking 78 years of freedom. This day recalls the historic moment in 1947 when India, after nearly 200 years of colonial rule, awoke to life and freedom at Nehru’s “Tryst with Destiny.”
Our independence was not gifted, it was earned through the unyielding resolve of freedom fighters. The Swadeshi movement sparked economic resistance in the early 1900s; the Non‑Cooperation and Salt March demanded justice; and during the Quit India Movement, thousands were arrested or martyred. Revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, and many more embraced martyrdom, while women leaders such as Aruna Asaf Ali and Sarojini Naidu stood strong.
Since independence, our nation has journeyed far. We have engineered world‑class infrastructure and expanded healthcare to over 50 crore citizens through Ayushman Bharat. We now rank among the world’s top economies, and our space programme highlighted by the NISAR satellite mission with NASA showcases our global leadership in science.
Our vision for the future rests on a concept echoed by the PM: learning from India’s rich past – be it the Chola Empire’s economic strength, to craft a Viksit Bharat by 2047, driven by integrity, innovation, inclusion, and unity.
As students, it is our duty to honour the sacrifices of our ancestors through study, service, and citizenship. Let every Indian uphold democracy, celebrate diversity, and take pride in our scientific, cultural, and moral advancement. The legacy of our freedom fighters lives on in each of us and may we build the nation they dreamed of.
Jai Hind!
