Amma’s thought on Independence and Independence Day has been always focused on not keeping the spirit and associated celebrations ‘external’. She says the celebrations have lost its Indian flavour and does not fully do justice to the sacrifice of our freedom fighters.We have put to effect Amma’s words by assimilating the true Indian spirit. When we prepared ourselves for the mass drill for the Independence day Celebrations in District Stadium on 15th August. Around 350 students from Amrita Vidyalayam, Pathanamthitta participated and proudly procured the first prize in the Cultural Competition. The Cultural Programme was methodically incorporated in 8 minutes to include many dance forms in India, our Tricolour Indian Flag and our vast boundaries.
The event was presided over by Honorable Cultural Minister Mr.K C Joseph, Our Pathanamthitta District Collector and many other eminent persons.
