75th Republic Day Celebration

-

Republic Day, a landmark in India’s history, commemorates the adoption of the Constitution and the nation's transition to a republic on January 26, 1950. This day is celebrated with extraordinary military and cultural pageantry, showcasing India's strength and rich heritage. In New Delhi, the heart of these festivities, armed forces personnel march along the Kartavya Path, presenting a grand spectacle of military prowess.

The celebrations commence with a magnificent parade, starting from Raisina Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's House), continuing along the Kartavya Path, past the iconic India Gate, and culminating at the historic Red Fort. This parade is a tribute to India’s unity in diversity, with each state contributing beautifully crafted tableaus that reflect the country's cultural heritage.

The theme for the Republic Day Parade 2024 is 'भारत - लोकतंत्र की मातृका (जननी) / Bharat - The Mother of Democracy,' celebrating India’s role as the cradle of democratic values.

In this spirit of national pride and unity, the Government College of Teacher Education marked the 75th Republic Day with vibrant enthusiasm and patriotism. The college premises were abuzz with excitement as students, faculty, and staff gathered to celebrate the event. The celebrations  began with an inspiring start as the principal hoisted the national flag amidst a gathering of enthusiastic attendees. The tricolor flag soared high, symbolizing the unity and sovereignty that bind our nation together.
In a vibrant display of India’s rich cultural mosaic, students donned traditional attire representing the diverse states of India. The air was filled with excitement as they performed folk dances and songs, each performance a colorful tribute to their respective cultural heritage. The audience, captivated by the energy and authenticity, responded with hearty applause, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere.

The day was further enlivened by a series of competitions themed around Republic Day. Students showcased their talents and creativity, vying for top honors in various events. The winners were celebrated and rewarded by the principal and teachers, a gesture that not only recognized their hard work but also encouraged greater participation and enthusiasm.

This 75th Republic Day celebration was a memorable and meaningful event, fostering a deep sense of pride and patriotism among students and faculty alike. It was a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters and a celebration of the remarkable progress India has achieved over the past 75 years.

The day’s events left an indelible mark on all who participated, reinforcing the importance of unity, diversity, and the enduring spirit of democracy. As the festivities drew to a close, the collective pride in our nation’s journey was palpable, reminding us all of our shared responsibility to continue building a strong and vibrant India.

Teaching Practice: Phase 1: Day 22

I engaged two periods for 8E class today. Since the lesson 'The Nightingale and the Rose' was completed, I gave the learners a few activities based on the same. A story board completion chart was displayed and the learners were randomly called to complete it. After the task, the teacher confirmed the answers and cleared doubts.  I also made the learners do a passage editing activity and error correction activity. During the last period, I conducted a test for them on the poem 'The Sower'. The examination was held for 15 marks and for thirty minutes duration. Since I could not take print outs of the question paper, I wrote down the questions on the board and asked the learners to write down the answers.  After collecting the answer sheets, I asked the pupils to complete a few activities,  including poster making activity given in their English Reader and submit the works by Monday.

I engaged two periods for 9F today and completed the story 'The Last Leaf' for them. Then I gave necessary instructions to them so that they could complete the textual exercises on their own. I asked the pupils to come up with alternative titles for the lesson . I also dictated to them notes on the poem 'On Killing a Tree' which they took down in their notebooks.  For 8E class, I continued with the story 'A Day in the Country' using vocabulary and powerpoint slides as aid. I had to rush the lesson a bit since their portions were pending and revision classes were about to begin prior to the Christmas examination.  Preparations for the upcoming state-level vocational fests have already begun. My fellow teacher trainees took Physical Education classes during the second and third periods. Manju ma'am asked me to hold a retest for 9F students who could not attend the mid-term examination on Monday. Overall, the day went as usual, in an uneventful mann...
