DR. ABDUL KALAM'S WINGS OF FIRE INSPIRE DAVIANS

All hearts skipped a beat and the wheel of time stopped as the students and staff of DAV Public School, Sahibabad stood witness to a historical moment, when Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Ex. President of India and a noted visionary visited the school at around 3.00 p.m. on September 3, 2011. The school had been preparing for this memorable moment for quite some time. Dr. Abdul Kalam was cheered by the jubilant students of the junior wing as they stood with expectant eyes from the school gate to the venue of the programme. This was followed by a standing ovation by the entire school swaying at a musical welcome programme by the junior wing. The dignitary was presented with bouquets of flowers and mementoes as a token of wholehearted regard for him. The Manager of the school, Mrs. Sudha Chandra gave a welcome speech to commemo rate the occasion. It was a proud moment for around 60 meritorious toppers of the school from classes IX-XII, when they received special awards from Dr. Abdul Kalam. Keeping with the tradition of service to society, a group of 10 toppers who are underprivileged and physically and visually challenged from various government schools in and around Ghaziabad, were felicitated by the Ex. President of India on this occasion. The star attraction of the day was a rousing speech by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam to motivate the students with oaths to render fruitful service to the nation. The programme culminated with a vote of thanks by Dr. V. Singh, the Principal of the school.
