Answer: Hon’ble Director, Principal, teachers and my friends! Today we have been given a topic ‘True liberty is freedom from poverty, deprivation and all forms of discrimination’. Liberty does not merely mean the freedom from any bondage or dictatorial rule. But it should be in all spheres of life whether it is life, education, thought, action, etc.A number of people do not get two square meals a day. It is all due to poverty. They are not even able to fulfil the basic needs of their lives.

Casteism plays an important role in Indian society. There is a big hiatus between the rich and the poor. People are even discriminated on the basis of gender, religion, class, etc. This sort of practice should be stopped at all costs. They should enjoy the rights as enshrined in our constitution. If we get freedom from poverty, deprivation and discrimination then only can we enjoy true liberty. Thanks
