What does Independence mean to you? 🇮🇳

For some, it means freedom.
For others, it means dreams, choices, courage and the responsibility to make a difference.

We asked our students and teachers, and their answers reminded us that freedom is more than just a day—it’s the power to dream, choose, express, and become who we want to be.

🇮🇳
