Independence Day 2023

Madurai Seed was all set for the 77th Independence Day with beautiful decorations, and colourful presence of children and young people. One by one they arrived and pinned flag on shirts. Volunteer girls dressed in same colour and boy volunteers in white shirts gingered up the event. It was time to welcome our eminent chief guests Prof. Dr. E. Annamalai and his daughter Dr.Melliyal Annamalai from Asha Boston with handmade flower bouquets.

Usually at Madurai Seed, the national flag is hoisted by Children Federation leader.  In that way, Keerthana in 12th std , MSCF leader was welcomed and honoured with parade. She was introduced to the guests and invited to hoist the flag. With mindful of pride, Keerthana hoisted the flag. Salute and claps of students sowed peace and love in hearts.

Keerthana shared the Independence Day message, "On Every Independence Day, we and our country grow a year older. Like as we age, our thoughts, good deeds and character must grow higher. Religion, caste, and gender-based discrimination, are on the rise in the country. It is the children and youth of the future generations that we need to prepare against this. Let us take pledge and stand together." Along with Keerthana, students took pledge to contribute their best to the society they live in.

Our chief guest Dr. E. Annamalai spoke to the students, " I’m 80 years old and have seen a lot of progress and milestones in the country. You should also see better progress. Flag salutation is not flag worship, it is worship of our country’s principles of freedom, peace, equality and secularism." His presence made the day more memorable and special.

Trustees Elavarasi, Mansur Ali, Mariammal teacher, Alumni forum incharge Sathish Babu and MSYF president Pavithra were honoured with shawl and bouquets. Breakfast was provided for children and guests. The morning went so fast, but not the prior preparation. The day before, children and young people had long rehearsals to parade, welcome guests, and organize without disturbing the public. Karthik provided a mind map on it and volunteers brought it up. Lively celebration with Jeeva's commentary, Keerthana's speech and guests' message and wishes.
