On
the very occasion of Independence Day, members of Pragati cell NSS IIT Roorkee,
set out to interact with the young vivacious minds of Junior High School in Paniyala,
a village at the distance of about 7 kilometres from the IITR campus. The team,
consisting of a total of 16 students, participated in Schools’ Independence Day
Celebration.

Followed
by the flag hoisting ceremony, the students sung the National Anthem and paid
their homage to their country. The program was attended by 130 students of the
school. Following the “Learn involving Fun!!!” motto, the NSS group conducted a
Quiz in which the students participated exuberantly.

The
event followed was a vibrant show of singing and dancing performances on the
patriotic tunes, by 8th standard students, that won the hearts of
the audience. After awarding these talented performers, Mr. Arshad Ali Shaikh,
executive member of Pragati cell and Mr. Vikash Yadav, a volunteer of the cell,
addressed the students. Through their influential speech, they appealed the
students to be proud of their motherland, fight against prevailing injustice
and to be faithful to their nation and fellow citizens. Mr. Shaikh also
expressed his patriotism through a beautiful poem. The children seemed quite
inspired by them.

to the Pragati team. She encouraged the students to follow the advice given by
them. The top five winners of the quiz were awarded with various attractive
prizes.

Independence Day was then celebrated by distributing sweets to
everyone. The programme thus ended with cheers and smiles on the faces of
children and with a feeling of deep satisfaction spread across the faces of
volunteers. Someone rightly said,
“The change you make today could be
the difference of tomorrow.”
