‘Orchids’ was in fervour of celebration, commemorating India’s Independence.
National festivals reinforce feelings of patriotism and remind us of the need
to work harder for the country’s progress.
The festivity began with flag hoisting by the Chief Guest,
Mr. Partha Saradhi, Finance Manager, K12 Techno Services, accompanied by the Principal
of Orchids, Mrs. Mona Mehdi. The Salute and the National Anthem were followed
by the speeches of Orchidians in English, Hindi and Telugu. Patriotic songs were
sung with the school choir taking the lead.
The Chief Guest in his address stated that the mighty
achievements of our great leaders must always be remembered. We understand
through their success that hard work definitely paves way to success and
happiness.
The Principal in her address stressed that we can feel the
real joy of independence only when we free ourselves of evil influences, in the
form of thoughts, words or deeds. The need of the hour is to retain our
identity and culture.
The day’s programme concluded with distribution of sweets.
