Independence Day Celebrations - 2026
August 14, 2026
As per the Lahore School tradition, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan’s 79th Independence Day was celebrated on 14 August 2026 at the Lahore School of Economics Main Campus with national fervour and zeal.
Senior faculty, administrative staff, support staff, students, and their families gathered on the campus green, which a quick shower had washed. The dignified ceremony began inside the Amjad Chaudhry Library with a recitation from the Holy Quran.
Dr Shahid Amjad Chaudhry, Rector of the Lahore School of Economics, presided as the chief guest. A smartly attired contingent of security guards presented a salute as the Pakistan flag stood majestically and the national anthem resonated across the huge hall of the Library. Dr Azam Chaudhry, Pro-Rector and Dean of Economics, also attended the ceremony.
Addressing the gathering, the Rector reflected on the nation’s historic struggle for freedom, the sacrifices that made independence possible on 14 August 1947, and the progress achieved over the past 79 years.
Other highlights of the day included full participation by everyone present, milli naghmey, distribution of sweets, and an Azadi Lunch in the main cafeteria. Prize distribution for the winners of the Azadi Tournament added to the festive atmosphere of Jashn-e-Azadi.
The occasion was a poignant reminder of the country’s journey from colonial rule to sovereignty and a reaffirmation of the Lahore School’s role in nation-building.
