NSS team had more of a supporting role in the Independence Day
function of the institute where NCC and IIT security took the
responsibility of the main flag-hoisting ceremony of the morning. After
hoisting of national flag and singing of national anthem, our Director
took guard of honour, conducted oath-taking and delivered his
Independence Day speech. He reminded that IIT Kharagpur and the Bhakra
Nangal Dam were two of the major initiatives to come alive after we
became free in 1947. And the journey at IIT Kharagpur started from a
jail where freedom-fighters were held captive. Since then the role
played by this institution is immense and he gave a road map of what to
come in future. We all feel proud to hear that and take a resolve on
this auspicious day to shoulder our responsibility in the nation
building work, being humble and sincere. There was a cultural program
after this where school children of various campus schools made short
but beautiful presentations. The function ended with all singing in
chorus, "
Vande Mataram".
NSS
team arranged refreshment of school children during their rehearsal on
previous two days as well as today. It was a pleasure and privilege to
offer this service to young kids. We made sitting arrangements for our
guests of the function. The Independence Day edition of the newsletter
was published which can be downloaded from here (
Link). Most of the
units prepared colourful posters and exhibited them. A disciplined and
uniformed NSS volunteers added to the spectacle of the ceremony. We join
the rest of the nation in saluting our Heroes who earned freedom for us
and take this opportunity to imbibe in us the spirit of sacrifice,
service and love for the country.
Jai Hind.
In
the evening, many of us attended a cultural program at Kalidas
Auditorium titled, "India's Urges, India's Future in the Making." This
was a joint production of Alumni Association and Students Gymkhana
involving larger campus community in its production. To have India's
journey from Vedic era to modern times in 90 minutes of narration, song,
dance and choreography was an experience by itself. Each of us emerged
more proud after the show knowing who we are as a nation and our sincere
thanks and gratitude to the organizers to present such a wonderful
program on Independence Day evening.

It is best to organize the competition of making posters on independence day of india. one can go for lots of activities but by using the poster making, children can draw their views about the country, on the paper.
