9. Afternoon programme - We celebrated India’s independence day on this day. We held a very colourful and joyous procession to start with the programme. Many people joined this procession and chanted slogans like Bharat Mataki Jay and Vande Mataram. All were waving the national flag of India. People were full of enthusiasm. After this few songs were rendered by Malaben Mithani. She sang some famous songs like “Aye Mere Vatan Ke Logo….” This added in our tempo and all were very attentive too.
One or two other members also sang short songs. The time was very short and we could not invite others to sing songs. Finally we sang the national anthem JANA MANA GANA and finished the programme
