The 79th Independence Day

As we celebrate the 79th Independence Day of our great nation, these ancient Sanskrit words resonate deeply. They remind us that the essence of education lies not merely in the acquisition of knowledge, but in the empowerment of the mind, the liberation of thought, and the courage to act with wisdom and integrity.

At K.R. Mangalam World School, Indirapuram, we believe that freedom is the cornerstone of meaningful education. Just as our nation’s hard-won independence opened the gates to self-determination and progress, the freedom to learn, question, and explore shapes our students into confident, compassionate, and capable global citizens. Education flourishes in an environment where curiosity is nurtured and individuality is respected—an environment our freedom allows us to preserve and strengthen.

Today, as we honour the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters, we also reaffirm our commitment to fostering young minds who will protect and expand this legacy. The values of responsibility, empathy, and critical thinking are as vital to our democracy as they are to our classrooms. Independence gives us the right to dream; education gives us the tools to make those dreams a reality.

May this Independence Day inspire us to blend the spirit of freedom with the light of learning—so that every student not only excels in academics, but also grows into a leader who shapes a just, equitable, and enlightened world.

Happy Independence Day!
