Professor Sharma addressed the school as he shared his views on the importance of freedom and motivated the students with his words of wisdom. The School Reporter proposed a vote of thanks and ended on a note, “Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and dignity, today we live in a free country and have the right to do what we want freely but we must never forget the brave freedom fighters and unsung gallants who sacrificed their lives to give us this freedom.” The Amrit Mahotsav celebration was a great success and must have inspired everyone to do something for this country that we are so proud of.
