Independence Day Celebrations - 2024

 


Every year, the Lahore School of Economics comes alive with patriotism and pride as we celebrate Independence Day, commemorating the nation's historic transition from colonial rule to sovereignty on August 14, 1947. Our main campus is transformed into a vibrant canvas, showcasing the colors of our national flag.

Our celebrations are a testament to the nation's tireless struggle for freedom, featuring a range of activities, including thematic cakes and refreshments, sports events and enlightening speeches delving into the depths of our national history.

The pièce de résistance is the flag-raising ceremony, where a smartly attired contingent of security guards salute as the Pakistan flag is hoisted by the chief guest on the lawns of our campus. As the flag waves majestically in the breeze and the national anthem echoes through the air, the occasion transcends a mere date on our calendar. It becomes a poignant symphony of remembrance, a heartfelt tribute to the sacrifices made, and a celebration of our institution's contributions to nation-building.
