India’s 76th Independence Day was celebrated in Ireland at the Indian Embassy in Dublin. The Indian Ambassador to Ireland, Mr. Akhilesh Mishra unfurled the Indian flag. A speech by the Ambassador followed this. He read out the message from The President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, and gave special mention to the Indian nurses, health professionals, IT professionals, people in sports, and many more who are doing a lot in promoting goodwill to India. He thanked the nurses and health professionals in particular for helping out during the daunting pandemic period.
He also congratulated homemakers who are taking classes for children to teach them Malayalam and Tamil. The Ambassador mentioned different ways like Twitter, Facebook, or email to connect with the Embassy for feedback as well as if anyone needed any help.
Dance performances, Kathak by Ms. Satakshi Kaushik and, Odissi by Ms. Bagmi Pragyan Jaysingh added color to this beautiful occasion.
