Independence Day Welcome Speech 1

Hon’ble Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Friends – Warm Greetings to you all!

As you all know that we have gathered today to celebrate this big national event – the Independence Day of India. This day is indeed the most auspicious day in the history of our nation as it won back its freedom after many years of relentless struggle, put in by our great freedom fighters.

Therefore, the momentous day, i.e. 15th August in the year 1947 was a golden moment in the Indian history, the remembrance of which fills every Indian with a feeling of patriotism and comradeship, as we all feel bound by a common thread of nationalism. This day is celebrated every year with an equal amount of zeal and passion. The great freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives in the independence struggle are remembered with a lot of reverence and jawans (soldiers) who lost their lives on the battle field are paid homage.

Therefore, I – Sarthak Pandey, from Standard XI (A), would want all of you to observe silence in the memory of our shaheed (martyred) jawans and vow to never let their sacrifice for protecting our country, go waste. Their families are our families and therefore our responsibilities, so we should try to support them in whatever way we can. Only then will it be a real celebration of Independence Day. It is not possible for us to experience the painful journey of our freedom fighters by staying within our comfort zones.

But what we can do is to build a strong nation from within through our good deeds and social acts. We should not only live for ourselves, but for others as well only then will it be a peaceful coexistence. Always remember that this freedom is won after the sacrifice of many people and several decades of struggle, for over a century.

I hope you all remember the great Indian soldier, i.e. Mangal Pandey in the British armed forces. He is credited with initiating the first revolt to overthrow British Rule, known as the “Revolt of 1857”. Later on, several freedom fighters joined the battle field and spent their whole lives only for achieving independence. It is not possible to brush aside the sacrifices made by Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh and Khudi Ram Bose who died at their early age to free the nation from the chains of slavery. Then we cannot forget the struggles of Gandhiji and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

Now that we live and breathe in an Independent India, we should not take this freedom for granted and sincerely shoulder the responsibilities of our country and be ready to handle any kind of national emergency or other issues.

This is all from my side and now may I invite on stage our respected principal in order to address students and kick start the events of the day.

Thank you everyone for being such a patient listener. I am sure you all would have a wonderful time with us.

 

Independence Day Welcome Speech 2

Warm Greetings of the Day Everyone – I hope this day finds you in the best of spirit!

I, Sourabh Chabra – the assistant manager of the ABC Group, welcome everyone to the Independence Day celebration in our office while giving a special mention to our board of directors and managers for taking their valuable time out and becoming a part of this celebration. Before we begin with today’s events, I would like to give a brief speech on Independence Day. As we all know that there are some colleagues from outside our country, it becomes our responsibility to familiarize them with our culture and tradition and most important of all with such days which are of great national importance.

Today, I feel extremely proud of hosting this great day and words will fall short to describe my sense of joy which I feel while standing here on the podium in front of you all. We all should consider ourselves fortunate for getting to live in independent India as its citizen and should also thank our predecessors and never forget their sacrifice in the Indian freedom struggle. We should pray to lord to give us requisite strength as well as courage to be able to dedicate our lives for the service of our country.

For this, we are not expected to fight on borders only; we can become the responsible citizen of our country by doing social service, i.e. helping our fellow countrymen in their noble pursuits, by serving mankind, by contributing in the economic and social growth of our country, by helping eradicate social evils, such as poverty, corruption, marginalization of women, etc. from our country.

So let us not go waste the sacrifice of our forefathers and wisely utilize the resources of our country so as to bring it to the top amongst the list of the developed countries of the world. With that being said, let’s also understand the importance of our national flag, which is also known as Tiranga Jhanda.

On this day, the national flag of India is hoisted in different state capitals as well as union territories by various political leaders and they also deliver speech on Independence Day. We also sing desh bhakti (patriotic) songs which fills us with nationalistic fervor. Interestingly on this day, various dramas and stage plays are enacted giving a vivid enactment of the Independence Day struggle and the bravery of our martyrs.

So this day is not only about bringing family and friends together and enjoying the shows on television, but it’s also a day to remember all the great souls who have made us live the dream of Independent India. This day is very special because on this day we forget our differences of caste and creed as well other political discrepancies and come together to revel in the glory of our nation.

Let’s also celebrate this day together leaving all our professional competencies and differences behind. Cheers to this day and Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!

 

Independence Day Welcome Speech 3

Hello Everyone – I hope you all are doing well!

Warm welcome to the Independence Day Celebration in our ……. society clubhouse! I, Abhishek Tripathi, the secretary of our society feel extremely glad to see all of you today being gathered for the celebration. I hope you all are equally excited as much as I am.

But before we kick start the celebration, please allow me to deliver a short speech on the importance of this day. It is very much important for our children to realize the importance of such days which are of great national importance. I feel that in the present times, our children are moving towards modernization so much that they are diverting from their roots and at times fail to realize that they are slowly and gradually becoming detached to everything that has given them their identity. They are adopting western culture and their lifestyle so much that they are not able to embrace the rich cultural civilization of their own native land.

So it’s a humble request to all the parents and even children to trace the history of our nation and find out in what manner our great freedom fighters fought the battle with the Britishers who had once held a sweeping influence over our lives. By recollecting their memories and acknowledging their great contribution in the freedom movement, will mean paying homage to them in the true sense of the term. Also, we should understand that this freedom is a hard-won freedom and must be preserved at all cost. As a nation we should stand united and never let the differences crop in so much between us on cultural, geographical and political difference that the outsiders start taking advantage of us and instead of progressing we begin facing a steep decline.

Children please understand that we can do service to our nation in ways more than one. We don’t necessarily have to become a soldier or fight in the battlefield to be truly called the son/daughter of the nation. We can do that by being the best in whatever we do. For instance, if anyone among you becomes a doctor, then your responsibility would be to serve the mankind in the best manner possible. It is also very important to sometimes work selflessly and help in the upliftment of the weaker section of the society so much so if you have to attend to a patient who cannot afford expensive medicines or treatment, your job would then be to give them medical treatment free of cost.

I hope the message that I want to convey through my speech is loud and clear and I am sure everyone sitting in the audience will support my point of view. We all live for ourselves, but to make our lives meaningful we should sometimes also live for others only then would we be able to make our lives worth it.

This is all for today and now may we begin with the performances of today.

Thank you and Jai Hind!


 

Independence Day Welcome Speech 4

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Guest of Honor, Teachers and My Dear Students – Warm Welcome to Everyone!

I, Sormishtha Panja – the class teacher of Class-XII (B), wish everyone a very Happy Independence Day. This is the 73rd Independence Day and the day is etched on our minds with a strong impression. After all, how can we forget the sacrifice of our great freedom fighters, who had put up a brave front in front of the British army and did not give up at any cost? Needles to say, 15th August 1947 was a moment of great pride and national glory for all the Indians.

Therefore, on this auspicious occasion, when India became free from the bondage and emerged as an independent nation, we must recall the sacrifice of our Indian leaders, such as Mahatma Gandhi ji, Jawaharlal Nehru, Bhagat Singh, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Sarojini Naidu and others. They fought selflessly for their motherland and put at stake everything they had, such as their lives, their families, etc. Then how can we forget their sacrifice so easily and take this freedom for granted?

This day is therefore not only celebrated because India became free, but also to commemorate the memories of our great freedom fighters. On the eve of this historical day, i.e. 15th August 1947, our first Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru addressed the Parliament and gave his first most famous speech, i.e. “Tryst with Destiny” proclaiming the freedom of our country at the midnight. This proclamation uplifted the spirit of our countrymen as India was at last living its dream of a free nation, free from domination and oppression under the rule of the Britishers. It was a great historic day as our country at last managed to shake off the shackles of the foreign rule and become an independent nation. It was of course the night of merriment all across the country.

However, when you gain something on the one hand you lose another thing on the other. Owing to the rising disparities between the Muslim and Hindu communities, the demand for a new Muslim nation gained a stronger ground. Sindh and Punjab were divided in the north-west province of India in order to give birth to a new nation. The formation of Pakistan took place on 14th of August; hence they celebrate Independence Day on that very day itself.

In order to celebrate 15th August, an official ceremony is organized at the Red Fort, situated in the national capital. Our Hon’ble prime minister hoists the Tiranga Jhanda at the Red Fort in order to pay homage to our motherland and honor the freedom won by our brave freedom fighters. The speech of our prime minister is the major highlight of the day. Patriotic songs are sung by our children in their schools and colleges and at work places by the colleagues.

So everyone let us also without any further ado kick start the celebration and cheer for our participants.

Thank you and Jai Hind!

Being a literature person, I am extremely passionate about reading and pouring down my thoughts on papers. So what better than adopting writing itself as a profession? With more than four years of experience in the given field, I have been able to build online reputation of my clients and supported them with content in various niches, such as travel, fashion, home decor, science and technology, to name a few. However, when I look back it feels as if it's just the beginning of this journey and still there's a lot more to explore through the magical world of books and reach out to a wider audience through my flair for writing.
