1) On the occasion of the *World Environment Day*,5th June
Good morning to the excellencies, respected Principal, my colleagues and my dear students,
We celebrate various days to commemorate the events and some honourable personalities. Likewise,we also celebrate the World Environment Day every year on 5th June .This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972.Two years later means in 1974 the first World Environment Day was held .
Friends, we all are familiar with the word environment. What does environment mean?Yes, environment means the surroundings or conditions in which we ,human beings,animals ,birds and plants live.
The term environment has been derived from a French word *Environia* means to surround. Environment consists of both biotic (human beings, animals ,birds, and plants means living and abiotic means non- living (soil,air,water,solar energy etc ).In short , environment is the surrounding in which we live.The world environment day is celebrated to promote the ways to improve the earth's environment and to solve the environmental issues.
Today, we see the degradation of environment.Who is responsible for this degradation ?Of course, man is responsible for all these adverse changes in the environment.Man is a selfish animal and for the sake of his benefits, he cuts the trees. The cutting of trees affect the rainfall.The rainfall affects the availability of underground water as well as land water.It also affects the growth of crops. Deforestation also affects the existence of wild animals. Today ,we find that many species of animals and plants are extincted.It also affects the temperature of the atmosphere.The layer of ozone gas is decreasing and carbon dioxide and other gases are increasing. Concrete jungle is increasing due to urbanization. Industrialization. And increase in the number of vehicles cause various sorts of pollutions.The problem like global warming is created.
On seeing these adverse effect on environment, we should be aware of it and make the others aware of it.As the responsible citizen, it is our duty to protect our earth.If you save earth,we will save our life .Our small acts can be helpful for the protection of Earth. Remember the seven
R s i.e Refuse, Repair,Recycle ,Reject,Renew and Resolve.Water and electricity are the national wealth.So, it's our duty to save it.We should develop the concept of the 'Rain Water Harvesting' .We should switch off the unwanted electrical gadgets .We should go on foot where is the walkable distance and save fuel.There are so many things which we can do for the protection of the environment. Friends ,
the most important thing we get from trees is oxygen.We can not survive without it.So we should stop the cutting of trees and plant the trees.
At last I would say *'Save our environment,save our planet Earth.*
*'Protect our Earth today for our children tomorrow.'*
If we protect our environment,it will be the true celebration of the 'World Environment Day'.
And don't celebrate this day only on 5thJune but it should be celebrated everyday by protecting the environment.
I hope you will do so.
Thank you.🙏

2) On the occasion of the *World Yoga Day*
Topic *Importance of Yoga*
Very good morning to everyone and happy Yoga Day.
Honourable President, respected Principal, respected teachers and all my dear friends,
Today we have gathered here to celebrate the 8th International Yoga Day. This day is commemorated annually on 21st June since 2015. Our honourable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi proposed it during the speech at the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. And from the next year means in 2015 United Nations declared 21st June as the International Yoga Day.
Friends, Can you tell why is the date 21st June chosen?
Yes,it is because 21st June is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere.So the United Nations declared 21st June as the International Yoga Day in order to spread awareness among the people regarding yoga.
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, unite or join. Though no one knows the inventor of yoga,still it is generally believed that Sage Patanjali who is the pioneer of yoga.He 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 that the 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.
Friends, in this year the government has appealed everyone to participate in Yoga under the hastag *Yoga For Humanity*.Why?,
because Yoga for humanity is healing our own minds,bodies and spirits while giving back to community. It is a call to action to all yogis,teachers,students ,gurus to use the healing benefits of yoga to empower,inspire and give back to others.
P.M.says the motto of yoga is peace, prosperity and harmony.Therefore,it is good to practise yoga daily to reap numerous health benefits for a healthy body and mind.
I hope,you understood the importance of yoga.
Happy Yoga Day.
Thank you.🙏

3)*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, 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 deciples 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.🙏

4)*The Indian Constitution Day*
*26th November*
Exuberant good morning to everyone. Honourable chairperson,the Principal of our college, respected teachers and my dear friends.
We celebrate many days to commemorate the great personalities and their work.Likewise,we also commemorate 26th November as *The Indian Constitution Day*.Our honourable Prime Minister Mr.Narendra Modi declared this day in the year 2015 because that year was the year of 125th birth anniversary of Bharatratna Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Friends,can you tell why it is celebrated on 26th November?Yes, because the Constitution Assembly /Committee adopted the constitution on 26th November 1949 which was come into force/effect on 26thJanuary 1950.
Well,we have to follow the traffic rules.Why?yes, because to avoid the mishaps.Our schools and colleges have certain rules regarding uniforms,time tables and so on.Why? because such rules are needed for disciplinary and smooth working of our schools and colleges.Likewise, Constitution is needed for the nation.
*What is constitution*?
Well, constitution is a set of rules and regulations which is essential for disciplinary adminstration of the government.It is the framework, document or a book that guides the government to work smoothly.
Friends, we all know the history of Indian Independence.When we were ruled by the Britishers,they appealed us to draft our own constitution.And in response to their appeal ,the work of constitution was begun.The Constitution
Committee was formed whose president was Dr.Rajendra Prasad and in which *Constitution Drafting Committee* was formed whose president was Bharatratna Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar.
There were seven members in this *Drafting Committee*, named Alladi Krishnaswami Ayyar,N.Gopalswami,Dr.B.R.Ambedkar,K.M.Munshi, Mohammad Saadulla,B.L,Mitter and D.P. Khaitan.But as a president of Drafting Committee ,Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar contributed the Lion's share in drafting our constitution.That's why he is called an architect of Indian Constitution.He studied the constitutions of many countries such as America,Japan, Russia,France and England. He took the essence from them.After spending a long period of 2 years,11,months and 17days,our constitution was ready.
Friends,our constitution is am amalgamation of the constitutions of the world.It is the world's largest constitution that contains 465 articles,12 schedules,122 amendments and 146385 English words.It is the blend of rigidity and flexibility.It is in both forms, written like America and unwritten like England.The original constitution (1950)is preserved in *helium filled case* at the parliament house in New Delhi.
Well,our constitution is the sole backbone of the country that has kept the country together.Our constitution declares India as a sovereign, socialist,secular, democratic republic assuring its citizens the principles like *Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Justice.* There is equaity before law.It means every citizen of India is equal before law whether he/she is rich or poor ,city dweller or village dweller. Our constitution has given us fundamental rights such as right to vote,right to educate, right to freedom of expressing our thoughts, freedom to speak, right against exploitation, freedom of religion and so on.
Friends, we are given such rights as well as our constitution has given us some duties and responsibilities. *Rights and duties* are the two sides of the same coin.When we fight for our rights,we should also be aware of our duties and responsibilities.We all know that the preamble of the constitution is given on the first page of the text books of all the standards in which the first sentence is *WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA.......* In this sentence the word *WE* denotes the *unity and integrity*.It means we all Indians should live unitedly,work unitedly for the betterment of our motherland.
Dear friends,I hope,you understood very well what I said.So, be the ideal citizens of our nation and serve our motherland by following the guidelines of our constitution.
I conclude my speech by paying my tribute to Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar .
Jai Hind ! 🙏 🇮🇳🇮🇳
