Honourable Chief Guest, distinguished guests, our respected teachers, parents and all my friends.

We are celebrating our 66th Independence Day in this year 2012.

On this day it is the duty of young Indians like us, who have born in this free India to pay homage to our leaders and fore fathers who have been the back bone of freedom struggle and have got us freedom after a span of 200 years. It is our duty to keep in mind the sacrifices made my many, the struggles faced by all to achieve this freedom.

We the students of India have to fulfil the dream of our ex-President, Dr. Abdul Kalam, in making India the most powerful nation in the world by the year 2020. It is our duty to keep our eyes, ears and senses open and observe all that is happening around us and when it is our day, we should all ensure that we have a corrupt free and green India. We should learn to respect our country, our flag and our anthem.

On this day, along with you all, I salute all the war heroes and command soldiers and happiness.

We all should take a pledge that it is our duty to keep our steps strongly and firmly to make all the dreams of our elders and forefathers about our nation come true.

JaiHind
