Lorraine Music Academy and LAMP Trust hosted “COME INDIA SING JANA GANA MANA – A Musical Evening in Honour of India on Republic Day” on Monday 26th January 2015 at Epicentre Auditorium, Apparel House, Sector-44, Gurgaon.
Our 66th Republic Day was celebrated with high spirit, energy and emotion of patriotism. 170 children and youth aged 4 years to 25 years from across the National Capital Region of Delhi sang and danced to folk, patriotic and nation-building songs with a spirit of excellence.
Aubrey Aloysius, founder of the Lorraine Music Academy and the LAMP Trust, and Chairman of the National Patriotic Project, gave a highly motivational and inspirational speech. The audience of 300+ Children, Youth & Adults together read out the Preamble of the Constitution of India as a pledge to build the Nation of India together as citizens of India. Aubrey also touched upon the three points in the vision of Mahatma Gandhi, for the India of his dreams. He touched upon the need to focus and include the poor in nation building, his emphasis on cleanliness being next to godliness, and the need to focus on the welfare of our women and their equal rights. Aubrey also spoke about the three great initiatives towards this direction by the recent launch of the “Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana”, the “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” and the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” campaign.
