The prayer was followed by a story telling activity where students narrated the events which occurred before India could gain Independence and how India was free from the British rule. The play also highlighted the importance of the speech given by our First Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It was then followed by a speech given by Mohd.

The Power-Point Presentation made students to think on how India gained freedom. It also brought the importance of how our soldiers are tirelessly working hard sacrificing their life and family to keep our country safe. It also made the students think how our sportsmen gave their best performance in various forms of sports in the Olympics and as young citizens of India what is their duty. The junior and senior students put up an exhilarating dance performance which was liked by all.
