At Fr. Agnel Co-ed Sr. Secondary School in Bhopal, we also raised the honorable tricolor flag with pride and celebrated the day with grandeur and excitement.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel H.P. Dwivedi, our esteemed chief guest, confidently unfurled the national flag on the citadels of Fr.

The school's aspiring singers confidently delivered a stirring rendition of the national anthem, amidst the echoes of patriotism. All present students confidently paid a fitting tribute to the tricolour, alongside the esteemed Principal Rev. Fr. Manohar Kata and Manager Rev. Fr. Habil Minj.
Following the flag hoisting, the students confidently engaged in an array of exciting events. One of the day's main events was the March Past, where students from all four houses marched to the beat of the school marching band. This was a highlight worth noting.
