Modern School Celebrates 70th Independence Day 2017 With Enthusiasm and Spirit

Modern School, Barakhamba Road celebrated the Independence Day on 11th August 2017, in Sir Shankar Lal Hall. The Chief Guest for the occasion was Admiral Sunil Lanba — PVSM, AVSM, ADC, the Chief of Naval Staff of the Indian Navy, and the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee.

A rousing rendition of Medha Suktam was soon followed by a portrayal of lives and times of our revolutionaries — Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh. The high note of the day’s proceedings was struck by the ballet Roopak — a collection of six soul-stirring dances, centred around the theme of India’s brave soldiers who make the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their nation.

Principal, Dr Vijay Datta, enlightened the gathering with a refreshing and sagacious message about the true meaning of Independence. The esteemed Chief Guest also shared a portion of his considerable wisdom.

The function was officially concluded with the flag hoisting ceremony, where the Chief Guest — Admiral Sunil Lanba — along with our Principal — Dr Vijay Datta — unfurled our nation’s greatest symbol of pride, the Tricolour, into a shower of rose petals.
