Q. Write a speech on Teacher’s Day.
Answer-
Speech on Teacher's Day,
5th September.
Good morning to one and all and my greetings to all my respected
teachers. Honourable chairperson, the Principal of our college, Mr./Mrs
..........., respected teachers and my dear friends. Today is an auspicious
occasion to honour and acknowledge the contributions and hard work of teachers
who mould the students into the future citizens. Guru Pournima is also
celebrated to express our gratitude towards our Gurus.
Friends! Can you tell why 5th September is
celebrated as Teacher's Day? Yes, it is celebrated throughout the country since
the year 1962 on the birth anniversary of Dr.Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, the
second President of free India. He was born on 5th September 1888 at Tiruttani,
in Tamil Nadu State. He was a great philosopher, educationist and a teacher by
profession. When he became the second President of India, few of his students
requested him to let them to celebrate his birthday on 5th September. On this
request, he asked them to celebrate his birthday as Teacher's Day and not just
as birthday. Ever since this day is celebrated as Teacher's Day every year.
Our education begins at home. Mother is our prime
teacher. As we grow and meet different people, we learn many things from them.
Everyone around us teaches us something. Experiences and mistakes are also our
great teachers.
In olden times, there was Gurukul System of teaching
where the students left their homes to stay with the sages in the forest for
years. It was called Bramhacharyashram(one of the four ashrams ) After
completing the training, the students returned homes. Those sages were
worshipped and honoured by the students and their parents like God. Since then
a teacher is placed next to God. That's why it is said,
Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu,
Gurur Dev, Maheshwara.
Gurur Sakshat, Parbramha.
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namaha.
It means Guru is the Lord himself.Gurus/ teachers
are next to God.So,Gurus are worshipped on Guru Pournima.
Teachers are our second parents because they take care of
us as parents. They show us right path as the beacon light. They are like
candles who spend their whole life in giving light to the students. They are
always with us whenever we are in trouble whether it is academic or personal.
They are the nation builders. They guide and shape the destiny of students.
Teachers teach us to become better human beings. Sometimes, teachers scold us
but there is their love and affection towards us behind their scolding. They
scold us for our betterment. Teacher is the profession that creates all the
professions like doctor, engineer, advocate, Chartered accountant and so on.
Teachers like Dr. Radhakrishnan, Sane Guruji and Dr.
APJ Abdul Kalam are some of the renowned names that have given meaning to the
world of teachers. In mythology we find many examples of Gurus and disciples
such as Dronacharya and Eklavya, Sandipani and Shrikrishna etc. Eklavya is
known as an ideal student.When Guru Dronacharya refused to teach archery to
Eklavya because he was Shudra,(because Shudra was considered as the lowest
category in the society at that time.) Eklavya built the mud idol /statue of
Dronacharya and practised archery before it and became the skilled archer
equalled to Arjun.
On seeing the skill of Eklavya in archery, Guru Dronacharya was
astonished. He asked for Eklavya's right thumb as Guru Dakshina because he
didn't want Eklavya to excel/exceed/surpass Arjun. And without thinking so
much, Eklavya cut off his right thumb and put it at the feet of his Guru. It
shows his reverence/honour/respect towards his Guru. Eklavya still continued to
practise archery with the forefingers and middle fingers and remains as an
example of an ideal student till today. We should also keep Eklavya as a role
model before us and gain the knowledge. We should concentrate on our target
like Eklavya.
Today, we are living in the age of science and technology.
We learn many things through various apps. We get vast knowledge through
internet but as per my opinion, no one can replace the teachers because
teachers not only give us knowledge but also shape our personality by teaching
many moral lessons. Apart from academic, they stand by us at every step to
guide, motivate and inspire us to become good citizens.
We are proud to say that we are being cultivated by the
finest gardeners. We pray for their well beings and good health. I would like
to express my gratitude towards all teachers for their selfless and dynamic
support. We are always grateful to you. I conclude my speech by wishing you.
Happy Teacher's Day.
Thank you.

Q. Write a speech on the occasion of Republic Day.
Answer -
A very good morning and happy Republic Day to everyone. Honourable
President, respected guests, respected teachers and my dear friends, today is
an auspicious day as we are celebrating 74th Republic Day. Every year we
celebrate this day with great zeal and enthusiasm. This is an important
national festival.
Friends, Can you tell what is Republic ? Yes,Republic is a kingless form
of government that has no monarchy and no hereditary aristocracy. It means the
Supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives.
Well, can you tell why it is celebrated on 26th of January? Yes, because our
constitution came into force on 26th January 1950. Since then we celebrate this
day as the Republic day.
Jahan dal dal par sone ki,chidiya karati hai basera
,Wah Bharat desh hai Mera, wah Bharat desh hai Mera……
Friends ,once our country was described as Golden sparrow because it was very
prosperous which was ruled by the British. They looted us and treated us
brutally.We, Indians tolerated all injustice for hundred years i.e from 1757
(Battle of Plasey) to 1857(Revolt of 1857) but later on we (Indians)had lost
our patience and started agitation against the British in 1857. In the revolt
of 1857, the queen of Zanshi i Laxmibai, Tatya Tope, Nanasaheb Peshwa fought
with the British. Mangal Pandey became the first Martyr of Indian freedom
struggle. Apart from these, many Indian leaders such as Lokmanya Tilak, Lala
Lajpat Rai, Pt.Nehru fought against the British to break the shackles of
slavery.
Many revolutionarists such as Swatantryaveer Sawarkar, Netaji Shubhas
Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Batukeshwar Datta and so on were
imprisoned and hanged to death . Many movements such as Non-cooperation
movement (1920),Civil disobedience movement (1930),Quit India movement (1942)
were started under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi ,the father of the nation.
Friends, my purpose behind giving these examples is that we got
independence with great efforts and sacrifice of the many known and unknown
Indians.
Well, though we got independence on 15th August 1947, we didn't have our
own constitution.
What is constitution?Yes,constitution means a set of rules and regulations
which is essential for disciplinary adminstration of the government.
Before giving us independence, the cabinet mission was sent in India in
1946.The British challenged us to form/ prepare our own constitution.We
accepted their challenge and the work of constitution was begun on 9th December
1946. Dr.Rajendra Prasad was the president of Constitution Committee and
Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar was the president of Drafting Committee. He took a lot of
efforts for preparing our constitution. That's why he is called an architect of
Indian Constitution. At last our constitution was ready after spending a long
period i.e 2 years, 11 months and 18 days. It was approved on 26 th November
1949 and implemented from 26th January 1950.Since then we celebrate 26th
January as the Republic day every year.
Well, friends, now we are living in free India, democratic India.Our
constitution has given us Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Justice as well as
many fundamental rights. But it has also given us some duties and
responsibilities. So,while living in this Republic country ,we should not
forget the devotion of freedom fighters. As the responsible citizens, we should
protect our nation from all the evils and do something great for the betterment
of our nation.
Friends, remember , Right and Duty are two sides of the
same coin. While fighting for our rights, we should be aware of our own duties
too.Whatever work (duty) we have to do, do it honestly, sincerely because Honesty
is the best policy. We should do our duties honestly so that our
nation will prosper and the sacrifice of the freedom fighters will not go in
vain.I conclude my speech by paying my humble tribute to all the known and
unknown freedom fighters.
JAI HIND!
Thank you.

college is observing ‘Earth Day’ on April 22. Draft a speech in about 120
words to be delivered before your college students on the need to support the
cause. |
Answer-
Honourable Principal, respected teachers, and my dear friends!
I stand before you today with a sense of urgency and purpose as we come
together to observe Earth Day on April 22. Across the globe, a collective
awareness is growing regarding the critical challenges created by climate
change.
Earth Day is not merely a date on the calendar; it is a reminder of our
responsibility to safeguard the environment. Climate change affects us all. It
impacts the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the future we imagine. It
is a call to unite in our efforts to address and decrease the consequences of a
changing climate.
Each one of us, as students and future leaders, holds the power to make
a difference. We can support sustainable practices, embrace eco-friendly
lifestyles, and advocate for policies that build the health of our planet. Our
actions, both big and small, contribute to the collective impact needed to
combat climate change.
Supporting the cause of Earth Day goes beyond symbolic gestures. It
requires a commitment to sustainable living, environmental education, and the
promotion of renewable resources. Let us use this day as a catalyst for change,
inspiring not only ourselves but those around us to be conscious stewards of
our Earth.
With these words, I would like to conclude my speech.
Thank you.

of your class is going to retire after 28 years of service in your college.
You have been selected to deliver a speech at the farewell function arranged
by the college staff and the students. Prepare a speech to be delivered at
this occasion in about 120 words. |
Answer-
Honourable Principal, respected teachers, and my dear friends!
It is both an honor and a bittersweet privilege to stand before you
today to bid farewell to my guru and our esteemed supervisor Mr. Manoj Deshmukh
Sir. He has been the heart and soul of our college for the past 28 years.
As I look back on these two years, I am filled with a profound sense of
gratitude for the impact Mr. Manoj Deshmukh Sir has had on our college. I also
remember his countless dedication to education. For nearly three decades, Mr.
Manoj Deshmukh Sir has been a beacon of wisdom, guidance, and unwavering
support to many students.
In the classroom, Mr. Manoj Deshmukh Sir was more than just an
instructor. He was a mentor who inspires us to pursue our dreams. His passion
for teaching textbooks in an innovative way was remarkable.
Mr. Manoj Deshmukh Sir played an important role in developing a sense of
community within our college. Whether it was organizing events, counseling
students, or simply lending the event, he becomes an example of the true spirit
of mentorship.
Mr. Manoj Deshmukh Sir, your legacy extends far beyond the walls of this
institution. You have not only given knowledge but developed in us a love for
learning, a commitment to excellence, and a belief in our own potential.
On this day I want to say that your presence will be deeply missed.
May your days in retirement be filled with the same joy, fulfillment,
and inspiration that you have brought to all of us. On behalf of the staff and
students, I extend our heartfelt thanks for 28 years of selfless service and
wish you a happy retirement life. Thank you.

Write a speech
to be delivered on the occasion of ‘National Science Day.’ (28 February) |
Answer-
Honourable chairperson, the principal, respected teachers, and my dear
friends! Today, we are celebrating ‘National Science Day’ as we celebrate other
days.
Friends , can you tell why it is celebrated on 28th February. Yes, this
day is celebrated to mark the discovery of the Raman Effect by a great
Indian physicist ,C.V. Raman on 28th February 1928.For that he won the
Nobel Prize in physics in 1930.
Well, there are certain objectives behind the celebration of this
day i.e to spread the message of the importance of science in day to day
life, to display all the efforts, activities and the achievements in the field
of science for human welfare, to discuss all the issues and implement new
technology in the future and to give an opportunity to the scientific minded
people etc.
By keeping these objectives before our eyes, schools and colleges
celebrate this day with great zeal and enthusiasm. Schools and colleges
organize science exhibition, quizzes, projects, poster making competition etc.
for making the students aware of its importance.
Friends, we are living in the world of science and technology. Science
has made wonderful progress in our life. Our day begins with science and ends
with science, it means we use many things from morn to night that are produced
by science. But remember, science is a boon as well as a curse for us. It is in
our hand how to use it. The nearest example is of Mobile . It was boon
during the pandemic of Covid 19, but now it has become the curse for
us.We spend our precious time on it. Remember, ‘अती तिथे माती.’ If we use it
for a long time, it will affect our eyesight, brain and eventually our whole
body. We will become passive.
So, friends, on this occasion I would like to say, 'science is for us
,we are not for science'. Develop scientific views and remove the superstitions
on the name of spirituality. Science and spirituality go hand in hand.
Rastrasant Tukodoji Maharaj also says, “विज्ञान और अध्यात्म के सहयोग से हो सब सुखी.”
It means science and spirituality are the two wheels of development.
Science shows us the path of progress and spirituality gives us energy to walk
on this path of development.
Well, So, use it for the good cause and not for bad, means not for the
destruction. We have recently landed the Chandrayan -3 successfully. It
happened due to science. Making Atom bombs and manufacturing the various
weapons are the creation of science and it causes destruction during the war.
So, science should be used for good cause and not for destruction.
Friends, I hope you understand the importance of science in our life.
Wishing you happy science day.
Thank you.🙏🙏

What is yoga?
Well,yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual discipline.It originated
in India more than 500 years ago.The word yoga came from
Sanskrit word yuj that means to yoke , to
unite or to join. Though no one knows the inventor of yoga, still it is
generally believed that Sage Patanjali who is the pioneer of yoga wrote Yog
Sutras . Beneficial exercise (Asanas),proper breathing (Pranayama), complete
relaxation (Savasana),balanced diet and nutrition, positive thinking and
meditation are the principles of yoga that are still being followed today. In
an ancient age ,Rishis ,Munis,sages and Saints practised yoga and meditation
regularly. Swami Vivekananda,Swami Ramkrishna Paramhans , Swami Dayanand
Saraswati who practised meditation regularly and reached at the culmination
point of spirituality. We can not forget the name of Ramdev Baba who is the
present yoga trainer.As we listen or read the word yoga ,the figure of Ramdev
Baba comes before our eyes.
Yoga uses asanas(postures) and Pranayam(breathing techniques) to integrate the
body with mind and mind with soul .
We all know the proverb health is wealth. And yoga is a way of
living that aims towards a healthy mind is in a healthy body (sound mind is in
sound body).Yoga is beneficial to us in many ways.It helps to manage stress and
anxiety and keeps us relaxing. In today's fast life, no one is free from stress
and anxiety. So yoga , pranayam and meditation are very essential things to
keep us healthy and tension free.It improves respiration, blood circulation,
energy and vitality. Regular practice of yoga can help to lose weight, release
stress , improve immunity, improve concentration and so on.On seeing the
benefits of yoga,we should practise it every day without fail.
Our honourable prime minister started the celebration of this day because he
wants healthy and self-reliant ( आत्मनिर्भर भारत )India.
If we are healthy, our country will prosper because only healthy people can
work efficiently for the growth of Indian Economy.
Therefore, we should practise yoga and meditation regularly so that we will be
healthy and fit.

Write a speech to be delivered on
Independence Day.
Answer-
Honourable Chief Guest, respected teachers and my dear friends!
Today, we gather to celebrate the 78th anniversary of our nation's
independence. On August 15, 1947, our country broke free from the shackles of
colonial rule and became the sovereign nation we know and love today.
We remember the visionaries who led our freedom struggle, from Mahatma
Gandhi to Jawaharlal Nehru, and countless others who fought for our rights and
dignity. Their sacrifice and perseverance paved the way for our progress and
prosperity.
As we celebrate our independence, let us also acknowledge the diversity
that makes our nation strong. Let us honor the vibrant cultures, languages, and
traditions that unite us.
We have come a long way since 1947, but our journey is far from over.
Let us recommit ourselves to the principles of justice, equality, and
fraternity enshrined in our Constitution.
May our tricolor flag forever fly high, symbolizing our unity, strength,
and the unwavering spirit of India.
Jai Hind! Happy Independence Day!"

Answer-
Honourable stage, respected teachers and my dear friends! Today I am
expressing views about my idea about celebration of new year.
As we stand at the threshold of a new year, let’s pause and reflect on
what this moment truly signifies. The New Year isn’t just about parties or
resolutions we forget by February. It’s about embracing a fresh start, a chance
to realign our goals and dreams.
For youths like us, this is the moment to celebrate not just with joy
but with purpose. Let’s make this year one of meaningful connections. Call that
friend you’ve quarrelled on futile matter. Help someone in need. Volunteer to
do social work. Let’s focus on experiences that enrich our lives and the lives
of others.
This year, celebrate growth. Remember that every challenge you face
shapes your future. Instead of fearing failure, embrace it as a stepping stone.
Dream big, but work even harder.
And most importantly, celebrate gratitude. Look around and appreciate
the people, opportunities, and moments that make life worthwhile.
The New Year is a blank canvas, and we have the brush. Let’s paint it
with vibrant colours of kindness, ambition, and positivity. Let’s make it
count. Happy New Year, and thank you all !
