It was a day worth remembering.  On the 15th of August every year, India celebrates its independence from the British Empire.

The programme started well with a drawing competition being organized, giving an opportunity to the young artists to showcase their talents. Young orators astounded the audiences with their wonderful speeches and left everyone spellbound. Then ca
