The third Annual Sports Day of
DPS Janjgir Champa held on 29th November 2013 was a day full of
expectancy and excitement. Each and every student of the school was eager to be
involved in the proceedings in some way or the other-whether as contestants, or
as part of the impressive house march past, the cultural programme or as spectators,
enthusiastically egging on their Housemates to greater success.
Ultimately, it was Agni house
which triumphed over the others to be acknowledged as the best house of
2013-14. The honour of Best Athlete 2013-14 went to Nitin Narmada of Prithvi House for Group A, Umang patel
of Vayu House for Group B, and
Chatan kanwar for Group C.
In his address to the students,
the Chief Guest Shri Arif Sheikh,
Superintendent of Police Janjgir Champa, offering congratulations to all those
involved in making a success of the event said that determination and
sportsman’s spirit are the most important aspects of life. Those who can
complete a race even when they know they cannot win are the best sportsmen. Mr.
Sheikh said that every child is born with the potential for achievement – all
that it takes is the right kind of training and focus on developing innate
talents instead of judging all of them by the same parameters –in the words of
the honorable Chief Guest, “you can’t judge the capacity of a fish by its ability
to climb a tree.”
Hon’ble President, Shri Raj
Kishore Dewangan, recalled the objective of serving society by developing ideal
citizens for the future which had led to the founding of DPS Janjgir -Champa
three years ago. He said that it is the school’s aspiration to contribute to
the building of a great nation by giving as much emphasis to all round
development through co-curricular activities and sports as to academics, which
has already led to students winning laurels in various sports and cultural competitions
at the State level. He made special reference to Nisha Singh, who has been
selected to represent Chhattisgarh at the National level Handball Championship.
Principal Dr. Chetna Sharma
encouraged the students by reminding them that winning and losing are secondary
to participating with pure intent. Hard work and commitment are the only keys
to success, she said, adding that there are no shortcuts in life. Like Eklavya,
we must remain determined and focused to reach our targets.
Earlier, in his welcome address,
the Head Master Mr. R K Tripathy spoke of the Chief Guest’s inspiring
background and expressed the hope that his presence would serve to motivate the
students further
