    NATIONAL FESTIVALS:-

    They connect us as a people of a


    nation. National festivals connect
    citizens to important moments of a
    nation’s history such as: the founding
    day of a nation, our independence day
    or in Europe VE day (Victory of Europe
    during WWII) is celebrated throughout
    the continent, with many nations
    having a public holiday. They solidify
    patriotic spirits in the society.
    The school celebrates National festivals
    like Independence Day and Republic
    Day in a formal and dignified manner
    befitting the occasions. Both the days –
    15th August and 26th January begin
    with hoisting the National flag followed
    by an impressive march-past of the
    National Cadet Corps (NCC)
    contingents of girls and boys, house
    contingents, the Scouts and Guides
    contingents, patriotic song singing and
    speeches. Students from the secondary
    section participate in this programme.
    The primary and kindergarten sections
    acknowledge this day through
    classroom activities.
    All these help the students to learn the
    value of citizenship and respect for
    one’s nation. National festivals are
    different from the others in that the
    state has formal celebrations. Popularly,
    they are treated more as occasions to
    get together.

    What separates national festivals from


    the others is the number of levels they
    happen at.
    For one, the government does not
    merely declare holidays but becomes
    one of the participants. On Republic
    Day and Independence Day, there are
    formal events - including a march-past
    and flag-hoisting - in all the state
    capitals, district headquarters,
    corporations and municipalities,
    panchayats… and so it goes. Step
    outside the government, and you have
    offices, educational institutions, co-
    operatives and other organisations
    doing their bit on corresponding scales.

    If you want to witness official


    celebrations, the place to be in is New
    Delhi. The spectacular pageants, grand
    march-pasts, floats, cultural tableaux
    and shows have tens of thousands of
    people lining the roads to view them.
    The essence of the mood, however,
    comes from the participation of the
    community as an entity, however
    platitudinous that might sound.

    In fact, Republic Day and Independence


    Day have slowly gained almost the
    same air that other festivals have. You
    have people sending greeting cards,
    wishing each other, organising
    entertainment, eating out, and generally
    letting their hair down.

    Gandhi Jayanti ISmore muted. Gandhi


    Jayanti is officially significant but does
    not evoke the same response from the
    people as Independence Day and
    Republic Day.
    JAN 26 Republic Day
    AUG 15 Independence Day
    OCT 02 Gandhi Jayanth
