Teacher’s Day Celebration 2014

Our collective salutation to Dr. S. Radhakrishnan the 2^ndPresident of India who was not only an educationist par excellence but also had immense love and respect for the profession and the professionals. He is the thinker who had urged upon the society at large to celebrate his birthday, 5^th September as Teachers’ Day every year.

            Like all previous years this year also DPS-JC collective celebrated the day with meaning and purpose.

            First of all the Teachers conducted the Special Assembly for the students and then the school Students Council took over the mantle to showcase the multifarious talents of senior students (Std. 9 & 10) on stage. The chief guest was the President of the school. Our beloved V.P. and A.V.P. Sirs also graced the occasion to encourage the spirits of one and all.

            First the lamp was lit by the president of DPS-JC and the portrait Dr. S. Radhakrishnan was garlanded by the Vice-President of DPS-JC, Associate Vice-President also accompanied them in paying respect to the divine soul in whose memory all learners all over the nation celebrate this auspicious day as Teachers’ Day.

            Students presented some scintillating song and dance and also a fantastic skit in Hindi highlighting the importance of good education.

            Then the senior students felicitated all teachers and non-teaching staff members by cutting a cake and giving rose and the school Management gave a token of their appreciation to all staff members. Our Honorable President sir presided over the function.

            This year teacher’s day became differently important because our Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji addressed the school children live for the first time. All schools from all over the country were connected live with the PM. Here at DPS-JC we had arranged the live telecast / webcast of PM’s speech for all our students through the classroom Digi-Boards and TV set(s). All teachers and learners enjoyed the whole program till the culmination.

            Over all the day (Friday) on the 5^th of September was a very fruitful and enjoyable one.
