DUSSEHRA CELEBRATIONS

Abandon pride, which is the same as Tamas-guna (darkness), rooted as it is in ignorance and is a source of considerable pain; and adore Lord Sri Rama, the chief of the Raghus and an ocean of compassion.”-Tulsidas

The life of pride is very fugitive.

Dussehra is the time when seasonal festivities knock on the door and our hearts fill with bounteous happiness and excitement.

To commemorate our ancient virtues, DPSG FARIDABAD organized a majestic celebration on this occasion. The event was full of zestful dances and stirring music performances. The apex of this juncture was a spectacular performance that depicted the famous Dussehra story on stage with wonderful confidence. The celebrations concluded with endless happy memories and wholesome smiles. This victory of good over evil inspired everyone for their own victories.

Children participated in the virtual program with religious spirit and enthusiasm. The Principal of the school, Ms. Ritu Kohli apprised the students about the importance of the festival and applauded the students for their captivating and enthralling performance.

GANDHI JAYANTI CELEBRATIONS

DPSG Faridabad organised a special assembly on Ist October 2021 to commemorate the national festival, Gandhi Jayanti and celebrate the 152th birth anniversary of the father of our nation – Mahatma Gandhi.

The auspicious occasion commenced with the welcome address rendering gratitude to all the students and parents to be a part of the meaningful endeavour.

Teachers shared an insight on the significance of promoting and adopting “Swaach Bharat Abhiyaan” in our daily lives and how the simple principle “Say No To Plastic” can became instrumental in creating a clean nation. This was followed by a prayer – an invocation to the Almighty. The next in line was a rendition of a soul stirring Bapu’s favourite devotional medley song which left the audience mesmerised and spellbound. That was indeed a befitting tribute to the extraordinary soul .... the Yugpurush who was an epitome of peace and compassion.

Moving a step ahead in helping the children understand the very ideology and concept of truth, honesty and love for humanity, which Mahatma Gandhi stood for was brought to the fore through the presentation of an inspirational Nukkad Natak by our school Theatre Group. The programme concluded with a meaningful message spread in sweet melody to pledge to save our beautiful planet Earth and join hands to ban the use of single-use plastic. Diti Kansal of Grade 9th also shed light on the major initiative launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 2nd Oct. 2019 to eliminate the single use plastic by 2022 and how we can contribute our bit to save our planet earth.

This was followed by tableau presentation wherein glimpses of historic Dandi March led by Mahatma Gandhi from Sabarmati Ashram to the village of Dandi was portrayed through a school rally by the students who emphasized on community cleanliness. In the end the vote of thanks was rendered by our respectable Principal Ma’am.
