Republic Day at Model School
A Celebration of Pride and Achievement
Jalgaon, January 28
This year, Republic Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm at Model School. It was a special occasion because Virat Kohli was to be felicitated for winning the target-shooting gold medal at the Police Academy.
The National Flag was unfurled at 7:30 a.m. by the Chairman of School Management. The National Anthem was played by the school band while everyone stood respectfully at attention. Meena Rawat from Std. II then recited a poem, ‘Mera Hindustan’. She was excellent despite her tender age. Then, Saurav Rane, a student from Std. X, spoke on ‘Why I Am Proud to Be an Indian’. Saurav is a good speaker and was notably impressive that day. The Principal, in his address, emphasized the need to uphold our democratic ideals.
Virat Kohli was given the award amidst loud cheering.
Sweets were distributed, and the gathering dispersed after the singing of the National Song.
