As part of the silver jubilee celebration of Motilal Nehru Public School, a grand three-day celebration ‘A Touch of Silver’ is being organised at the school campus. CISCE chief executive and secretary Gerry Arathoon was the chief guest of the inaugural function.
Since the inception of the school in 1992, the school has progressed gradually seeing three principals in a span of 25 years. The founder principal was Dr C D Dwivedi whose brain child was the school. Then RSS Mani headed the school for a short span of three years. Principal AshuTiwary took over the reins of the school since 2005.
Gerry Arathoon interacted with the school students. In the interactive session, students asked Arathoon some interesting questions. He also interacted separately with the faculty of Motilal Nehru Public School and understood about the quality initiative and leadership programme being conducted for students. He appreciated the efforts taken up by teachers to promote excellence in school.
Arathoon stated that Motilal Nehru Public School is synonymous with quality education and imparting moral values. He congratulated the school on completion of its 25 years of journey and wished the school great achievements in future. It was an occasion to remember all those who have been instrumental in the development of school.
A spectacular programme by students on the theme of Swami Vivekananda’s “Arise, Awake and stop not till the goal is achieved” was performed in the form of a ballet which held the audience spell bound. A documentary film “See The Change” was screened showcasing the 25 years of school’s glorious journey.
Quality Appreciation Awards were also given to the teachers to acknowledge their efforts in bringing various positive changes in school as well as promoting excellence in their own fields. Special Silver Jubilee awards were introduced on the occasion for some outstanding students, namely – The Maverick Award and The Mighty Pen Award which was bagged by Satya Amar of class XII and Sushmita Jha of class X respectively. The Mevrick Award goes to a student who is a critical and creative thinker and whose out of the box strategies have helped design solutions to problems or issues within or outside the school campus. The Mighty Pen Award is awarded to a student who has shown remarkable achievement in literary events and who has used the power of words and language to bring laurels to school.
