“Being Indian is our identity, however; being Republican is our country’s identity”.

We celebrate Republic Day to commemorate the day the Indian constitution came into force. It was on January 26, 1950. This date is a landmark in Indian History. It took months of toil and diligence for the great leaders, thinkers, educationists and the well-wishers to draft the Indian Constitution.

Keeping the tradition alive, Sapphire International School conducted a special Online Assembly on the occasion of the 73rd Republic Day of India.

The programme commenced with the unfurling of the national flag by our respected Principal, Mr Amit Singh followed by the national anthem.
