Special assembly on Republic Day in Pre primary
The culture of a nation resides in the hearts and the soul of its people.
The Pre-primary students at The Indian School celebrated the 73rd Republic Day in a special assembly on the virtual platform on 25 January, 2022.
The assembly commenced with a rousing tribute to the national anthem to set the ambience for the celebrations to follow. Parents and children alike rejoiced in its glorious rendition.
India has a rich culture and heritage, where people of all cultures live together in peace and harmony. The students effectively showcased this diversity by attiring in the colourful costumes of the various Indian states. They danced to a song on national integration-My name is Madhavi sunv by the noted Ms Usha Uthup. This song celebrates the diversity of India and introduces children to the names of places, the languages and traditions of the different regions of India.
The assembly echoed with patriotic fervour as the children sang several songs infused with the flavour of patriotism - ' Hum honge kaamyab', ' Ek do- ek do', and ' Nanha munha rahi hoon'. They wore the colours of the tricolour to mark the grand occasion.
