70th Independence Day celebrations

Dear Residents,

We are delighted to invite you to the Independence Day celebrations on Monday, August 15, 2016 at 8.30 am onwards at the Pooja Park, in our Pocket.

The flag hoisting by the Chief Guest, Mr. Manoj Kumar, MLA, will be followed by a variety of cultural programmes and lunch. 

Here comes a question in all our minds, why do we celebrate Independence Day?

Everyone in India knows that India got freedom from the 300 years of British Rule at the stroke of midnight as India moved towardsAugust 15, 1947. Many of us know even the stories of struggle for independence as well. There have been millions of lives that sacrificed for this freedom and many of them are not even known or remembered. Even after 70 years of independence, we celebrate the day with utmost serenity and commitment because we know the struggle and sacrifices our freedom fighters did to gain independence for our Mother India.

The most important fact is that we remember and pay homage to these legends on this auspicious day. It is important for all Indian to think and pay respect to those who died for the country. There are virtually many reasons and ways of celebrating Independence Day. Varieties of contests, promotions and cultural programs are organized.

On this occasion, we would like to honour the senior citizens in our society. We, therefore, request all the senior citizens in our pocket to treat this as a personal invitation to them attend the function.　

And we also plan to felicitate our children who have worked hard and scored good marks in their Class 10 and 12 examinations recently. So, dear and girls and boys, if you have scored 90 per cent or above, please share a copy of your mark sheet with Mr Reji Jacob in 157-A (M) 9811590590 or Mrs Prabha Agrawal in 32-A (M) 9818199513 by August 12, 2016.  Ten top achievers from Classes10 and 12 will be selected for the awards.

We look forward to your active participation and support at the function with family. This is an opportunity to get to know each other better.  So please stay for lunch, though it is in a small way.  Happy Independence Day.  Jai Hind.

With best wishes,

(B.K. Pandey)                         (Sreedhar Vasudevan)
