Short Speech for UKG to Class 2

Good morning, teachers and my dear friends.

My name is [Name]. Today is 26 January, Republic Day. On this day, our Constitution came into effect. The Constitution is the book of rules for our country. We hoist our Tiranga and sing our national anthem. Our flag has three colours — saffron, white and green. I love my India.

Happy Republic Day! Jai Hind!

Good morning to everyone.

Today is Republic Day. We celebrate it every year on 26 January. There is a big parade in New Delhi. Soldiers march and colourful tableaux go by. I will be a good child and keep my country clean.

Happy Republic Day! Jai Hind!

1-Minute Republic Day Speech (Class 3–5)

Good morning to our respected Principal, dear teachers and my dear friends. I wish you all a very Happy Republic Day!

Every year on 26 January, we celebrate Republic Day. On this day in 1950, the Constitution of India came into effect, and India became a republic. A republic is a country where the people choose their leaders.

Our Constitution was made by many wise leaders. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was the chairman of its Drafting Committee. On 26 January 1950, Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India.

On Republic Day, a grand parade is held on Kartavya Path in New Delhi. We see soldiers marching, tableaux from different states and planes flying in the sky.

Friends, to love our country, we must follow its rules, respect everyone and study well.

Thank you. Jai Hind!

3-Minute Republic Day Speech (Class 6–8)

A very good morning to our respected Principal, honourable teachers and my dear friends. Today, on the 78th Republic Day of India, I am proud to stand before you and say a few words.

India became free on 15 August 1947, but freedom alone was not enough. A free country needs rules that tell it how to run, what rights its people have and what duties they must perform. For this, the Constituent Assembly worked for nearly three years. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, who chaired the Drafting Committee, played a very important role in writing it. The Constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949 and came into effect on 26 January 1950. On that day, India became a republic, and Dr. Rajendra Prasad became our first President.

Why was 26 January chosen? Because on 26 January 1930, our freedom fighters had celebrated Purna Swaraj Day, a promise to win complete freedom. Twenty years later, that same date became the birthday of our Republic.

Our Constitution gives every citizen important rights, like the right to equality, the right to speak freely and the right to education. It treats every Indian as equal, whatever their religion, language or region. But it also gives us duties — to respect the national flag, to protect public property, to keep our environment clean and to live in harmony with one another.

Every year on Republic Day, the President unfurls the national flag in New Delhi, and a grand parade is held on Kartavya Path. The Army, Navy and Air Force show their strength, and colourful tableaux from different states show the rich culture of India.

Friends, we are the young citizens of this great republic. We may not make laws today, but we can respect them. We can stand in line, throw waste in the dustbin, help a classmate and speak up when something is wrong. When each of us does our small duty well, the whole country moves forward.

Let us promise today to be honest, hardworking and responsible Indians. Thank you. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!
