The much awaited evening of 11th September was a memorable one as students and teachers bid farewell to the outgoing batch of class XII students. The ceremony commenced on an auspicious note with the recital of scriptures from the Gita, the Quran, the Bible and the Guru Granth Sahib.

 The cultural programme began with the tikka ceremony wherein the teachers blessed the class XII students and wished them luck for the future. The honourable Principal in-charge Shri Mithan Lal also encouraged and motivated the class XII students and wished them luck for the future. He was followed by the students of class XI who set the mood for the evening by singing a medley of songs. The most eagerly awaited event of the evening was the variety of titles that were awarded to some of the students. Head Girl and Head Boy, Shweta Rathod and Master Vipul received the coveted title of “Miss Perfectionist” and “the Godfather”. Some other titles were “Prima Ballerina”, Sugar and Spice, Roop Ki Rani (s) and Pablo Picassa etc.

To add to everyone’s delight a colourful dance extravaganza was presented by the students of class XI who performed on the latest Bollywood song and a musical called “flashback”. While these dances earned a thundering applause, it was the boarders who stole the show with their perfectly coordinated steps that had everyone performing to their beats. The programme came to a close with the lighting of the candles which was the most significant part of the evening. It was indeed a mesmerizing sight as the students raised their candles to the school anthem.

PM Modi’s Interaction with Students and Teachers on Teachers Day

By Ashish

Jamnagar, September 5, 2014: On Teachers day PM Narendra Modi spent an hour and 45 minutes with many of the school children in Delhi. Almost every government and private school in the country interacted directly with the PM Modi live on TV, internet etc. The whole interaction was conducted at the Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi. Even in Doon Public School. Students collected to watch the whole interaction enthusiastically. They were keen to get the answer for their common question and difficulties they are facing in daily life in their academics.

The following points were discussed on that day i.e. the teachers must share an important bond with the students and student must share moments of their lives with the teachers .Quality education should be imparted to the students. Along with the educational degree, youth should be provided with the practical skill , knowledge and training . Education of a girl child should be mandatory. Apart from all that he also discussed that there should be some provision for saving electricity based on this a boy from Delhi ,asked PM,” You ask people to save electricity , what do you expect from us and what we can we do .” Apart from this he also said that students must inculcate the habit of reading books. He also emphasized on the use of science and technology in the education system.

One more discussion was also held to resolve the issue based on making washrooms available especially for girls, which in turn will solve the problem of sending a girl to school beyond primary level. Last but not the least PM also replied that politics should not be considered as a profession, but it should be considered as the responsibility. To conclude, I must say that it was a nice experience for students as well as teachers to have a healthy discussion on the important issue, which dealt with the problems in their academics. At the same time a teacher got the opportunity to understand and solve the problems related to the students of all levels, and is able to overcome the difficulties based on individual differences in classroom.
