Nov 26: ‘Udaan’ the theme of the Annual function 2016 was based on the real life situation that most of the children face these days. The present times being the most competitive era, where every parent desires that their wards reach the pinnacle of success no matter what his/ her interest is. The life of the child is Tug of War between parents’ aspirations and his/her own dreams. The tussle continues till the parents give their care and concern to the child and understand their physical and mental transition. The theme was a great inspiration to all as it emphasised upon the importance of life - skills, appreciation and reward, encouragement and acceptance by the family to excel and actualize children’s goal.
The burning issue of gender bias was portrayed through showcasing the great achievements of women and the message to the society to honour the girls in the family. The meaning of SUCCESS was defined as ‘Success is not measured by what we accomplish but by the problem we encounter and the courage to upload’. The theme also conveyed that one can visualise the future with trust, confidence and acknowledgement of capabilities. The best investment made by the parents is ‘TIME’ given to their wards.
The momentous occasion was graced by Mrs Kiran Soni Gupta IAS Additional Secretary and Financial Advisor Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India, New Delhi and Sh Mandip Singh Brar IAS, Deputy Commissioner Karnal and other dignitaries from the town. In their emphatic elocution, they appreciated all the students and members of the staff for the wonderful and colourful performance. They both quoted incidents from their lives that helped them to reach where they stand today.
The annual day marked the beginning of yet another enthusiastic and exuberant year ahead when many would be taking their flight with wings nurtured by love, peace and joy for there is a season for every purpose. The hall mark of the day was ‘YES WE, CAN’.
