Public celebrations such as national days etc are held in most countries which is expensive so govt. should not spend money on it and on more useful things. Do you agree or disagree?

Undoubtedly, national events hold cultural and historical significance and hence celebrating them lavishly is justified. However, I vehemently reckon that money spent on them is more than required and can certainly be used on other essential sector such as education and infrastructure. Over the past few decades, authorities have spent hefty amount of money on festivals and national days through parades, concerts or air shows, and ignoring the nation’s vulnerable condition. On the one hand, these events depict the prosperity of nation, but on the other hand also portray the negligence of authorities towards their country and its people. Here are several other things that should be looked after. For instance, the education system which improves the literacy rate of any country, eventually enhancing the future though inventions and technological advancements. Similarly, the development of roads and buildings portrays a significant advancement in the infrastructure sector. Moreover, countering the economic condition needs more intellectual concentration as it can only be ameliorate by monitoring investment and employment, for instance, creating job opportunities for the under-privileged group, minority-based educational support. Although, the national events are of great significance, these areas should be monitored first. Additionally, holidays can be celebrated on a small scale in order to respect the tradition. To summarize, democracy was instigated to serve and preserve the rights of people; therefore countries should prioritize its citizen’s growth and development more than on national holidays or occasions. Alternatively, a sophisticated yet lively celebration can be encouraged.
