GD Goenka Public School, Bareilly Message from Chairman It gives me great pleasure to greet all the parents, students and teachers on this auspicious day of the 75th Independence Day. August 15 fills us with the excitement of unfurling the tricolour, taking part in celebrations and listening to patriotic songs. We gratefully remember our freedom fighters and martyrs whose sacrifices have enabled us to live His Highness Prof. Sir in an independent nation. The ethos of our Dr. Chandan Agarwal Chairman freedom struggle forms the foundation of modern India. Our visionary leaders brought together a diversity of world views to forge a common national spirit. They were committed to the cause of liberating Bharat Mata from oppressive foreign rule and securing the future of her children. Their thoughts and actions shaped the identity of India as a modern nation. The celebrations of Independence Day this year will be rather restrained. The reason is obvious. The whole world confronts a deadly virus which has disrupted all activities and taken a huge toll. It has altered the world we lived in before the pandemic. The ‘National Education Policy’ spells a long term vision with far-reaching impact. It will strengthen the culture of ‘Inclusion’, ‘Innovation’ and ‘Institution’ in the sphere of education. Once again I would like to congratulate you on this 75th Independence Day. I wish you all good health and a bright future. Thank you, Jai Hind! The Goenkan Vol:11 1
