Delhi Public School, Bokaro celebrated its 32nd Foundation Day on Monday with big pomp and show at the school premises. The glorious foundation functions were organised on this eve where Padma Shri recipient and social worker Ashok Bhagat was the Chief Guest.
Speaking on the occasion Bhagat asked the students that they should remain the flag bearers in all spheres of life not only on the national level but even on global level bringing laurels to the school in whichever profession they opt to work for.
Praising the holistic education being imparted to students giving them space to learn, experiment and enquire in the field of agriculture, music, culture, sports besides giving tips for saving the environment, Bhagat pleaded the students that, they are lucky to study in school like DPS which is among the few counted in the country, they should take pledge to serve 80 percent of the population of the country which lacks quality schools.
He insisted that major percentage of the population still lacks basic facilities and are not lucky enough to study in quality schools like DPS, Bokaro, they too have the pious duty to give back to the society the best they have received from their Alma mater.
Bhagat advised the students of DPS should also take a pledge to put in their best for bringing smiles which will be a return back gift to the school which will be remembered always in history.
Dr Hemlata S Mohan the Director and Principal of the school said that her motto and mission in DPS is not only to create students to get excellent grades in examination but work hard to groom good human beings and resourceful professionals who prove to help in creating progressive society and wilfully play an instrumental role in building the nation and for the betterment of the mankind globally.
