It was a red letter day in the history of India when the country got her freedom

People of the country celebrate this festival every year with great pomp and show.
On this auspicious occasion, the team of EMPOWER PEOPLE celebrated the day

Every year, we commemorated Independence Day in order to remember our fighters' sacrifices and to show them the respect they deserve. Independence Day is significant as it commemorates the valour and spirit of the freedom fighters who fought for the independence of the nation from British rule.

INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION, KARNAL
Raj Bala, Karnal's district coordinator, organised an event for Independence Day, which began at 8 a.m. Isam Singh, the leader of Jambha Gaon in Karnal, was the chief guest. Our team adorned the area with little flags, tri-colored balloons, and other items. Children were so enthusiastic about the program that we noticed a new level of excitement in them. People began planning ahead of time, they cheerfully volunteered their time, and they were overjoyed.
Our chief guest spoke about Independence Day and why we should celebrate it. As Karnal's coordinator, I too had the opportunity to express my thoughts on Independence Day. Following that, numerous women stood up and offered their thoughts as well. People were so thrilled that they clapped and showed their appreciation.
Children also participated in a variety of activities such as practising dance performances of "Desh Rangila," "Mere Pyaare Vatan," "Teri Mitti Mei maar java," and others. They created their own poetry and shared them with us . Other villages came to observe our team program and had a great time; they took pictures and shared them with everyone. As a sign of appreciation, we offered our future children small presents such as books, copies, pencils, and so on.
The primary reason for carrying out this program on the Chaupal was to communicate the notion of love for our mother earth, much like everybody we love our nation, because the love for our country makes troops and leaders sacrifice the precious lives of our people. Freedom means different things for different people, and for a soldier or her family, freedom could simply mean getting together as a family and heading out for a day of fun and thrill, leaving the toughness of the defense life behind.
In order to express solidarity to the nation, every citizen of this country needs to commemorate Independence Day. Their respect for the liberation fighters who gave their lives for independence will also be shown. Independence Day also urges young people to serve the country. EMPOWER PEOPLE is empowering others and helping them to grasp the true meaning of independence by remembering the sacrifice our jawans make.
