Independence Day 2021

15th August, 2021 marked the celebration of India’s 75th year of Independence. Dr. Pillai Global Academy, Gorai celebrated and welcomed this day, with great enthusiasm and equal fervor. Special prayers and speeches filled the very air with the feelings of patriotism and devotion towards our Motherland. The honorable Deputy CEO of the school, Dr. Sharda Sharma ma’am hoisted the National Flag and administered the Pledge, instilling a sense of pride and responsibility. Respected Principal Maurice Coutinho Sir enlightened us with his inspiring words of wisdom. This day also marked the felicitation and celebration of the academic achievements of the IGCSE and IBDP toppers. Our freedom fighters envisioned this day for our future, where every citizen of India, felt proud of being an Indian and a part of one of the largest democracies of the world. This feeling was much expressed in the captivating dance performances of the students and the parents. The day holds great significance for us, as we not only remember our freedom fighters but also the grit and determination of our soldiers who protect our country from external threats. Patriotic songs were sung by the school’s very own teachers and students, to salute and honor this indomitable spirit of our soldiers who fight and give their lives for us, in the line of duty. Today, as we face one of most difficult and uncertain times of Covid-19, we cannot thank enough our everyday heroes be it the doctors, nurses, caretakers, the police, the media and everyone who are battling on the frontlines, serving us! We recall and live by the words of our Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
