Independence Day
Speech #1
Good morning, respected principal sir, vice principal sir, supervisor, honourable teachers, and my dear friends.
Today is a very special day. Does anyone know what today is? Yes, you’re right! It’s our country’s Independence Day – a day when we remember all the brave people who fought for our country’s freedom many years ago.
Long before we were born, India was not a free country like it is now. It was ruled by people from a country called Britain. While some of these rulers were nice and wanted to help us, some were very mean and made life hard for the people of India. So, people from all over India – from big cities and tiny villages, men and women, young and old, all decided to do something about it. They started what we now call the Freedom Struggle.
Many brave men and women fought for our freedom. People like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose, Rani Laxmi Bai, and many others, whose stories inspire us to be brave and to always stand up for what is right.
Finally, after many years of struggle, on 15th August 1947, India became a free country. That’s why we celebrate Independence Day! We fly our beautiful tricolour flag high, and we remember the brave freedom fighters who made this day possible.
But, celebrating Independence Day is not just about remembering the past. It’s also about looking forward to how we can make our country even better. We can all contribute to this by being good citizens. That means, we need to follow rules, care for each other, keep our surroundings clean, and study hard to grow up and become responsible citizens who can contribute to the country.
So, as we celebrate Independence Day today, let’s remember the heroes who fought for our freedom and learn from their stories. Let’s be good citizens and make our country proud. We are the future of India, and we carry the spirit of Independence in our hearts.
Happy Independence Day to all of you!
Jai Hind!
Speech #2
Respected dignitaries, esteemed teachers, dear fellow students and fellow citizens.
Today, as we gather here to commemorate the 78th Indian Independence Day, our hearts swell with pride and gratitude for the countless brave souls who fought relentlessly to liberate our beloved motherland from the clutches of British colonial rule.
The end of foreign rule and the start of a new era in Indian history are both marked by this day. It stands for the triumph of bravery, teamwork, and the tenacious spirit of the Indian people. Our fight for independence was more than just a political movement; it was a battle for our right to self-determination, fairness, and human decency.
We respectfully recall the inspirational leaders who guided us on this difficult road. The way of non-violence and civil disobedience, which became the pillar of our struggle, was demonstrated to us by Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our country. Our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, laid the groundwork for the development of our country by envisioning a modern, forward-thinking India.
The key to realising our country’s potential is education. Let’s work to ensure that every child, regardless of circumstance, has access to an education. Not only is knowledge liberating, but it also lays the groundwork for a successful future.
Rural development must be given top priority in order to provide residents with access to necessities like clean water, healthcare, and sanitary facilities. By empowering our villages, we can achieve sustainable, balanced growth that benefits all of our citizens.
One of our biggest assets is our variety. Let’s celebrate our variety and embrace our rich cultural heritage on this Independence Day. Together, we are stronger, and India stands out on the international stage because of its variety.
Lastly, let us never forget how difficult and costly it was to achieve our independence. As proud Indians, it is our responsibility to uphold the democratic, secular, and socially just ideals that our forefathers envisioned. Let’s promise to be law-abiding, caring, and environmentally conscientious citizens who help our amazing country flourish and prosper.
Jai Hind!
Happy Independence Day!
Speech #3
Good morning, respected principal sir, vice principal sir, supervisor, honourable teachers, and my dear friends.
Today we have gathered here to celebrate the 78th Independence Day of our country. We should never forget that momentous night of 14th August 1947, when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru stood up to deliver his maiden speech in the city of New Delhi. The words uttered by him were so stirring that they still exert their influence on us: “While the world sleeps, India marches on for life and freedom.”
After these many efforts and sacrifices, India was freed from the chains of slavery and established as an independent nation, after which it was considered the largest democratic country in the world. The strength of our country lies in ‘Unity in Diversity’, which reflects the tendency of people from different social, religious, and cultural backgrounds to live together in peaceful coexistence.
Also, this day is celebrated as a tribute to the memory of our great freedom fighters, who laid down their lives to free our country India from the shackles of slavery and to see it grow and prosper. Who doesn’t know Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who gave India the longest written constitution; Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who made his special contribution towards making India an industrial nation; world-famous Mahatma Gandhiji, who showed us the path of non-violence; and Subhash Chandra Bose, who instilled courage and self-confidence in us. Apart from this, Swami Vivekananda, who was a great spiritual master, showed us the path of spirituality.
In this sequence, our former President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, addressed the children and, in his address speech, urged them to dream big and make India a great and strong nation with determination. These words of his were not just words, but these were feelings, which worked to connect and encourage the hearts of millions of people.
At last, I would like to end my speech by saying that we do not need to take any huge steps to express our love towards our country, but for this we can also do our small efforts like that. We can also make a big contribution by giving our support to Indian products, so that the economy of our country can improve and the education of poor children can be promoted. Through many such activities, we can take our country on the path of progress and play an important role in establishing it as a superpower in the global arena.
Thankyou!
Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Happy Independence Day!
