Independence Day is a National Festival of India celebrated on 15th of August every year. India became a free country on this day and it’s only then we could secure our democratic rights as citizens of India.In all the schools and colleges across India, no academic work is done on Independence Day, but all the students and staff members would be present in their respective educational institutions, to celebrate the day. A sort of social gathering is arranged in the educations institutions, wherein cultural programs are organized. Flag hoisting ceremony takes place within their respective premises. As the flag is hoisted by the head of the institution (mostly the principal), students sing national anthem and pay respect to their flag and to uphold the sovereignty of the country.
Our national flag is divided horizontally into three colours consisting saffron at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom in same proportion. A navy-blue wheel is embedded in the centre called chakra with 24 spokes. It is influenced by the wheel appearing on the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka.
The struggle for India's Independence began in 1857 with the Sepoy Mutiny in Meerut. Later, in the 20th century, the Indian National Congress and other political organizations, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, launched a countrywide independence movement. Colonial powers were transferred to India on August 15, 1947.
