Flag Day celebrated

NCC students of School of Eminence, Chheharta, celebrated Flag Day. A poster- making and speech competition was conducted among NCC students. Students who participated in the competition were awarded. Principal Manmeet Kaur said that the students of our school celebrate the Flag Day every year with great enthusiasm. Flag Day evokes a sense of reverence for the brave soldiers, who have sacrificed for the country. “It is the essential or primary duty of all our countrymen to provide all possible help to the families of the soldiers who lost their lives for the sake of the country. A military soldier doing duty on the border of the country thinks that the whole country is a family and if he becomes a martyr for the sake of the country, then all the countrymen will take care of his family,” she said. The Flag Day of the country was started by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in 1949.
