Republic day celebration ideas in school

Republic Day is a remarkable day in the history of India as the day when finally the Constitution of India came into effect on January 26, 1950. As part of the celebrations, a scintillating flypast and flamboyant march past by various wings of the defense have since years been the hallmark of the Republic Day Parade at Rajpath!

Republic Day is celebrated in the honor of the date when the Constitution of India came into effect. It was this day when the country’s transformation towards becoming independent had begun. It has been 70 years since India became Republic and it is a moment of pride that our country has made a mark on the global map in almost all streams of popularity. Known for its culture, India has excelled in technological and economical aspects as well.

A country where 70 percent of its population is young, for the youth of India it is a day of utmost importance and the same can be witnessed in various schools and colleges across the nation! Otherwise declared as a National holiday, Republic Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm in every school in India.

We all have fond memories of our school days when we practiced for days and weeks to perfect our Republic Day parade steps. To be chosen for a cultural programme on this day is an honor and generate great excitement among students.

How Republic Day is celebrated in Schools :

1) March-past

The school students are asked to come in their crisp and neat uniforms on this day. Once everyone gathers, a welcome address is delivered by the school principal. He introduces the chief guest and briefs everyone about his/ her achievements. He welcomes the distinguished guests, teachers and talks about notable achievements of the school that year. The Chief Guest is then asked to stand as the students display the march past in their best form.

2) Speeches

Chief Guest and the Principal of the school delivers speeches to inform students what they are capable of and how can they take inspiration from the great achievers who have made India proud at the global map.

3) Cultural Events 

Students perform various cultural activities to entertain guests. All the performances pay respect to our country’s achievements and achievers. 

      a) Indian classical dance

      b) Yoga performances

      c) Acrobats

      d) Drills

      e) Indian Patriotic dace

      f) Patriotic Songs

      g) Poem Recitation by kids

      k) A play on fundamental rights and duties.

      l) Students pledged to become responsible, productive citizens.

     m) Theme- Based Assembly--- 

For eg: ‘Every Vote Matters…’. The focus of this assembly is to bring out the meaning of democracy to the students and its impact on daily lives. Right to vote is an important fundamental right, but more than that a responsibility. The assembly brings to light, the ill effects on people and the society when they vote for a candidate on the basis of wrong reasons.

The aim of the assembly is also to create awareness about the value of each vote in our country and make people more mindful while voting. Let our students be proud to be members of the largest democracy in the world, and work towards the nation’s progress and prosperity.
