From the Director’s Desk: Dear readers,

On this foundation day as we

complete 28 years of academic

excellence, we mark this day

with celebrations in the honour-

able presence of Honourable

Governo r o f Jharkhand ,

Smt. Droupadi Murmu. I

congratulate my team and share

the pride and happiness of the

parents on the stupendous

performance of the students in

the competitive examinations

and the class X and XII Board

Examinations.

When work and commitment

become one, excellence is

reached.

Children from their very tender

years to the teenage years of

growth and development show a

predisposition to learn through

play and exploration. To foster

this predisposition we pioneered

SHABD - the First Edition. The

two day knowledge convergence

was a turning event in the lives

of all present as knowledge,

information and ideas were

shared under the directions of

Mr. Parnab Mukherjee, the

knowledge curator of SHABD

and a versatile artist.

DRISHYAM, the Bokaro Inter-

national Film Festival, a first of

its kind in Jharkhand state was

hosted to promote appreciation

for classic films. Internationally

acclaimed movies were shown

with a view to enhance the

creative flair and intellectual

acumen of the students. Dr.

Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Di-

rector of various movies, Seema

Kapoor, Screenplay writer of

National Award winning movie

‘Abhay’ (Best Children’s film)

and Ajit Ray, Director—World

India Foundation and a re-

nowned film critic shed light on

the themes of the movies

screened. The highlight of the

event was ‘Meet the Director’

programme where the experts

interacted with the students and

the audience to enlighten them

about the various aspects of

films and movies.

This year we have launched the

mission ‘Swachch Sanatan’,

that is to work towards a clean

India promoting clean thoughts,

clean mind and a clean soul.

With each passing year we grow

stronger in our resolve to

mould dynamic global citizens

who in selfless service to soci-

ety find the purpose of their

existence.

VANDE MATRAM!

With best wishes
