School celebrated its Annual Day "VASUNDHARA" on 29 November 2012 in the school premises. Sh Punam Suri,
President DAV College Managing Committee and President Arya Pradeshik
Pratinidhi Sabha Delhi consented to grace the evening as the chief
guest. Eminent guests of honour were Sh. R.S. Sharma, General Secretary
DAVCMC and Dr. Nisha Peshin Director PS, DAVCMC. Other guests twinkling
in the evening were Mrs. Mani Suri, Mr. Ravinder Kumar, Secretary
DAVCMC, Dr. S.R. Arora, Secretary DAVCMC and Chairman of our school,
Mrs. Arora, Dr. V.B. Agrawal, Vice Chairman, Nanak Chandji, Manager, our
former principal Mrs. Pravesh Bhikhan and principals of other DAV
Schools.
In our tradition all work is undertaken
only after invoking the blessings of Almighty. The colourful and
splendid evening started with pious Hawan which was followed by the
lighting of the auspicious lamp by our honourable guests. Auspiciousness
is indicated through the invocation and without that it is neither
auspicious nor fruitful. Eminent guests were given floral welcome.
Students' hardwork, dedication, talents and creativity were honoured and
appreciated by the guests. It was a proud moment when they released the
13th edition of the School magazine - "UDHBODH".
Further the blessings were sought by
other students depicting "OM Stuti". OM which is a divine sound and
gives shanti to both self and surroundings, Chanting of OM gives mental,
physical and spiritual development. The same was spread all over and
amidst this piousness started our ballet "VASUNDHARA". The students of
our school in colourful and shimmering costumes were spreading the
message of Preserving our Mother Earth.
The Ballet started with the main
character Vasundhara, our Mother Earth, felt elated to see its beauty
all around. She was feeling proud to see her beauty all around. Flowers
in the valley, splendour in the beam, health on the gale and freshness
in the stream. Then she suddenly realized that there is nobody to
appreciate her beauty and wishes the nature to be transformed into human
beings for her appreciation. And then came the existence of Manu and
Shradha, first man and woman on earth. Then came Knowledge and Education
and how man with his sharp mind made developments and progress.
Students depicted it through their mesmerizing dance performances. It
was followed by exhibiting great contributions of Swami Dayanand
Saraswati in the field of Education. The ballet reached its glory when
the contributions of eminent personalities such as Justice Mehar Chand,
Prof. Ved Vyas, Anand Swamiji, Babu Darbari Lalji and Sh. G.P. Chopraji
were presented
Advancement has led man on the road of
progress but at the cost of our vast bountiful Mother Earth depleting
and deteriorating at every level. So to bring about general awakening
among the people about polluting our earth, students exhibited a
sensitive Nautanki show and captivated the minds of the audience and
made them glued to their seats.
The
spectacular show by the students of AG DAV School was wrapped up with
the Grand Finale invoking emotions among the audience by spreading the
message of Vasundhara
"Make me not barren
Pierce not my womb
I pray, I plead, I implore
I am your mother
Forever ready to nurse you
Feed you and make you grow
Remember a healthy mother
Would breed healthy children
So my loss cannot be your gain."
Sh Punam Suri, Hon'ble President of
DAVCMC, Delhi showered his blessings on the students and applauded the
talents and brilliant performances showcased by the students. His
inspirational words evoked an urge of strong determination and
confidence among the students and also encouraged the children to put
their best efforts in all their endeavours. School Principal Mrs. Mala
Sood presented the Annual School Report tracing the progress of the
institution and achievements of the students in scholastic and
co-scholastic fields.
A Prize Distribution Ceremony was
organized on the Annual Day Celebration in order to honour the children
who all have won laudable accolades for the institution. The Prize
Distribution Ceremony instilled encouragement and motivated the minds of
students to achieve laurels for the institution.
The grand Annual Day Celebration concluded with the vote of Thanks conveyed by Dr. V.B Agrawal, Vice Chairman of the School.
