KOCHI: While the whole nation is getting ready to celebrate the country’s 69th Independence Day with various programmes, students of the Thiruvairanikulam Akavoor Primary School and the Kerala Varma Samskrita UP School are celebrating it in a unique way.
This year, after the Independence Day celebration, students of the schools will be visiting the birthplace of freedom fighter and social worker Chowara Parameswaran, which is a few kilometres away.
The children will observe solemn silence on the land that was home to the great freedom fighter, who lived five decades ago and added golden pages to the history of the country’s freedom struggle.
The students will be bearing lamps, symbolising freedom.
They will be greeted and welcomed by Chowara Parameswaran’s family members including his nephew Thachapilly Sudhindran.
Both Akavoor Primary School and Kerala Varma Samskrita UP School are managed by the Thiruvairanikulam Temple Trust.
