Answer 1

Introduction-

Good morning, ladies and gentleman, I am Neha Mehta and I would like to extend a warm welcome to you all at the District Administration’s ceremonial Republic day event. How blessed this morning is where we are gathered to celebrate India’s 72nd Republic Day. Ours is one of the largest constitutions on the planet. After the amendment of the constitution, India finally became the "Republic of India" on the 26th January in the year 1950. 26th January was selected as the Republic day for India since it was on this day in 1930 that the Indian National Congress broadcasted the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) opposing the Dominion Status offered by the British Regime.

Welcoming the VIPs

On that note, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our district’s honourable Guardian Minister, District head, Educational director and to all the esteemed guests present here today. The organizing team is forever grateful for gracing us with your presence.

Today’s day is in the honour of the great legends and those heroic souls who sacrificed their valuable lives for India.

Flag hoisting and National Anthem by the Guardian Minister-

The Indian flag serves as a national treasure. It embodies the beauty of our magnanimous country. Hence, every year on the occasion of Indian Republic Day, the Tricolor is hoisted. Our National flag, as we all know, comprises of three colors and a blue wheel in the center. All three colors of our national flag have a specific meaning to them. At the top, the saffron color of the flag denotes strength and courage. The white color in the middle stands for truth and peace. The green color at the bottom signifies growth and prosperity. The navy blue wheel in the center having 24 equal spokes is the Ashoka Chakra. Just like the tricolor, I am sure that our National Anthem resides in the heart of every Indian with pride. So let us begin today’s celebration by the flag hoisting ceremony. I request our honourable Guardian Minister to do the honour of hoisting the flag. I request the audience to stand up for the flag hoisting and the National Anthem. (Flag hoisting ceremony)

Thank you so much. All of you may take your seats now.

Guardian Minister’s speech-

I request our respected Guardian minister to say a few words and mark the beginning of today’s joyous celebrations. Please give a huge round of applause. (Guardian Minister’s speech)
Thank you so much, for your wise words.

March past-

And now for the most awaited part of the ceremony. I request our Heroes, the Police force and NCC troops to come forward for the March past. (march-past ceremony) I extend a huge salute to our heroes who make our lives safer and better every day.

Conclusion-

Let's salute our nation on this Republic Day with freedom as our credo, strength in our purpose, pureness in our pursuit, compassion in our souls and passion in our hearts. Let’s conclude today’s event with a promise to unfurl India’s opulence. Thank you.
