August 15, 1947 is a memorable day for all Indians to
rejoice and remind the great struggle undergone by our freedom fighters. The final glory of receiving Independence to
breathe the free air of freedom. Every year
after Independence we commemorate this auspicious event to pray our reverence
to our motherland and the freedom fighters.As Swami Vivekananda says “
Celebration is not a theoretical need but a practical necessity.” We followed this saying by celebrating the
Independence day in all the corners of our country. To pay our tribute to such a wonderful day,
our school Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya Matricuation Higher Secondary School,
Kanyakumari celebrates Independence Day each year on 15th August
with enthusiasm. We have successfully
celebrated our 69th Independence day on this year 2015.
On that happiest occasion we initiated our programme
by invocation “Vanthaematharam”.

been a privilege. His address for the
students was to bring about a tremendous change by which the nation could go to
heights. He mentioned the saying “East
or West India is best.” He also said
that India is the only country in the world to have real freedom in which each
citizen enjoys the true love of motherland.

Success is not an easy endeavour. Every fraction has to be used
purposefully. Effort of a person is
regarded only when the superlative form is achieved. When one’s talent is acknowledged as superior,
the person is awarded. Prize is a symbol
of honour, I tis given to motivate the winners to hold on their success and to
receive more in the upcoming contest.
Teacher Kum. P.Babitha readout the prize list and the students received

such a symbol to make remember the happiest time spent by the Chief Guest in
our school’s Independence Day. A memento
