 UKG Graduation Ceremony 
The little stars of Upper Kindergarten are stepping into the young learners, beginning a new chapter in their educational journey. 
At The Fabindia school, we celebrate every milestone. How could we let this special moment pass without celebration? 
We organized a Graduation Ceremony on 27th March 2025 to honor this unforgettable occasion. Parents had the wonderful opportunity to be blessed by their believed children as they embarked on the next adventure. 
The celebration was filled with joy as the children performed dances and the graduation song. They also expressed their gratitude by saying thanks in their own words.  Our respected Principal, Ma'am, rewarded each child with a Yearly Performance card and a special badge. 
It was a touching moment where teachers and parents came together to shower the young graduates with love and best wishes for a bright and promising future.
 Work Experience 
Former students shared their work experiences and thoughts with current students during a career counseling event held at our school.  The workshop included insightful advice on resilience, networking, pursuing passions, and lifelong learning.  Pupils were encouraged to consider alternative career options based on the useful advice provided by former pupils.  Students asked intelligent questions during the interactive session.  Positive feedback was given, and we want to have additional workshops of this kind to help our students achieve their goals and advance their careers.  The occasion was a great success.
 My Achievement: Clearing the Navodaya Exam 
I am Harshvardhan, a proud student of Class 5th at The Fabindia School, where I have been studying since Class 1st. Recently, I appeared for the Navodaya exam, and I am thrilled to share that I have cleared it!
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Manish Sir, who guided me throughout my preparation and helped me achieve this milestone. His support and encouragement played a significant role in my success.
My Journey:
- I studied diligently for the Navodaya exam, focusing on my strengths and weaknesses. Manish Sir provided me with valuable guidance, helping me to improve my weak areas.
- I practiced regularly, which boosted my confidence and helped me to perform well in the exam.
My Aim:
My ultimate goal is to become an Army Officer. I am determined to work hard and make my country proud. Clearing the Navodaya exam is a significant step toward achieving my aim, and I am excited to take on new challenges.
I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to achieving my dreams!

 Honesty 
The phrase "Honesty is the best policy" means that telling the truth and being sincere is always the right choice. An honest person gains the trust and respect of others and builds strong relationships.
Honesty leads to a peaceful life, as truthful people do not have to remember lies or feel guilty. It also brings long-term success because people value and support those who are reliable and truthful. In contrast, dishonesty may provide temporary benefits, but it ultimately leads to a loss of trust and reputation.
For example, if a student cheats on an exam, they may pass once, but if they rely on dishonesty, they will struggle in the future. On the other hand, a hardworking and honest student may face challenges but will achieve true success through knowledge and effort.
In conclusion, honesty is a virtue that shapes a person’s character and leads to a life of respect and happiness. No matter how difficult it may seem, honesty always proves to be the best policy in the long run.

 Stephen Hawking: A Story of Willpower and Strength 
Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in England. As a child, he was very curious and loved science. He studied physics at Oxford University and later went to Cambridge University to learn more about the universe. He was a brilliant student and had big dreams.
When Hawking was 21 years old, doctors told him he had a disease called ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). This disease made his muscles weak, and he slowly lost the ability to walk, move, and even speak. The doctors said he had only two years to live.
At first, he felt very sad, but he soon decided that he would not give up. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he focused on his passion—studying space and time. His strong determination helped him continue working, even when his body became weaker.
Hawking made amazing discoveries. Even when he could no longer speak, he used a special computer to communicate. His mind remained sharp, and he kept sharing his knowledge with the world.
Hawking’s life was not just about science; it was about never giving up. 
Even though he was in a wheelchair and needed help with everything, he continued to work, write books, and give lectures. His book, A Brief History of Time, became very famous and helped people understand the universe better.
Doctors thought Hawking would live only two years, but he lived for more than 50 years! He passed away in 2018 at the age of 76. His story teaches us that no matter how hard life gets, we should never lose hope.
“The lesson we learn from this story is…”
Stephen Hawking’s life is proof that strong willpower can help us achieve anything. He never let his illness stop him from reaching his dreams. His story teaches us to stay strong, believe in ourselves, and keep moving forward no matter what challenges come our way.

 दर्श विद्यार्थी 
वि‌द्यार्थी जीवन मनुष्य के भावी जीवन का निर्माण काल है। विद्यार्थी काल का उद्देश्य मात्र विद्या प्राप्त करना ही नहीं वरन शारीरिक, मानसिक और आत्मिक सब प्रकार से उन्नति करना है। इन सबकी प्राप्ति के लिए कठोर परिश्रम, सच्ची लगन, सच्चरित्रता तथा एकाग्रता की आवश्यकता होती है। आदर्श विद्यार्थी का चरित्र श्रेष्ठ होना चाहिए। उसे आत्मसंयमी होना चाहिए।
विद्या मनुष्य को विनम्र बनाती है और नम्रता ही योग्यता लाती है। आदर्श विदयार्थी को अहंकार से सदा बचना चाहिए। उसे मधुरभाषी और सत्यवादी होना चाहिए। शिक्षा विदयार्थी को स्वावलंबी और तपस्वी बनाती है तथा उसमें धैर्य पैदा करती है। आदर्श विदयार्थी को 'किताबी कीडा' न बनकर नियमित रूप से खेल या व्यायाम में भी भाग लेना चाहिए तथा पत्र-पत्रिकाओं और श्रेष्ठ साहित्य का अध्ययन करना चाहिए। इससे बौद्धिक विकास के साथ-साथ शारीरिक विकास भी हो जाता है। अपने सभी कार्यों को नियमित समय पर नियम से करना ही आदर्श छात्र के गुण हैं। आज का विद्यार्थी ही कल देश का कर्णधार होगा।

 Respect 
Respect means treating others with kindness, consideration, and dignity. Everyone deserves respect regardless of their background. This includes parents, teachers, friends, colleagues, brothers, sisters, all elder and younger ones. Respect can be shown by listening attentively, valuing others' opinions, being honest, not bullying, and not telling lies. Respect means trusting others. If you give respect to others, then others will also respect you. As a student, for you, respect means listening to teachers, doing homework, not fighting or cheating, working hard, studying, and getting good marks in exams. By doing this, you will show your respect towards your teachers and parents.

 Trust: The Foundation of Success 
Trust is both delicate and powerful. It is an invisible force that binds relationships and strengthens character. It is the cornerstone of friendships, leadership, and progress. Yet, the most vital trust is self-trust.
Trusting oneself is the key to confidence and resilience in a world filled with opinions and expectations. Mistakes should be seen as lessons, not failures. When we trust our abilities, we no longer seek constant approval but instead stand tall, take risks, and carve our paths.
Trust yourself first, and the world will follow

 कहानी: "घबराओ नहीं, सब ठीक होगा" 
एक छोटे से गाँव में एक बच्चा था, जिसका नाम अर्जुन था। अर्जुन पढ़ाई में बहुत मेहनत करता था, लेकिन उसे हमेशा परीक्षा के समय घबराहट होती थी। परीक्षा के दिन करीब आते ही उसकी नींद उड़ जाती, उसका मन घबराने लगता, और वह सोचता, "क्या मैं सब कुछ याद कर पाऊँगा?" वह सोचता कि अगर परीक्षा में अच्छा न कर पाया तो क्या होगा?
अर्जुन की माँ ने उसे देखा और एक दिन उसे अपने पास बुलाया। "अर्जुन, तुम्हें घबराने की जरूरत नहीं है। तुम मेहनत कर रहे हो, और यही सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात है। परीक्षा सिर्फ एक अवसर है अपने ज्ञान को दिखाने का, यह तुम्हारी क्षमता को परखने का एक तरीका है।"
अर्जुन ने कहा, "लेकिन माँ, मुझे डर लगता है। अगर मुझे कुछ याद नहीं आया तो?"
माँ मुस्कुराईं और बोलीं, "अर्जुन, तुमने अब तक जो भी सीखा है, वह तुम्हारे दिमाग में है। परीक्षा का मतलब यह नहीं है कि तुम सब कुछ ठीक से याद करो, बल्कि यह है कि तुम जो जानते हो, उसे सही तरीके से समझकर दिखाओ। घबराना सिर्फ तुम्हारा ध्यान भटकाएगा। याद रखो, शांति और आत्मविश्वास ही सबसे बड़ा हथियार है। अगर तुम शांत रहोगे, तो तुम्हारी सोच और भी स्पष्ट होगी।"
अर्जुन ने माँ की बातों को ध्यान से सुना। परीक्षा के दिन जब वह पेपर देने गया, तो पहले उसने गहरी साँस ली, और अपनी माँ की बात याद की, "घबराओ नहीं, सब ठीक होगा।" उसने धीरे-धीरे और सोच-समझकर हर सवाल का उत्तर दिया। नतीजा यह हुआ कि वह परीक्षा में अच्छे अंक लाया, और उससे भी महत्वपूर्ण बात यह थी कि उसने आत्मविश्वास और शांति के साथ परीक्षा दी थी।
उसकी माँ ने फिर से उसे गले लगाते हुए कहा, "देखा अर्जुन, जब तुमने घबराया नहीं, तो तुमने अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ दिया। घबराने से कुछ नहीं होता, पर शांति से काम करने से सफलता जरूर मिलती है।"
इस कहानी से हम यह सीख सकते हैं कि बच्चों को परीक्षा के दिनों में घबराने की बजाय शांति और आत्मविश्वास से काम लेना चाहिए। घबराहट सिर्फ मानसिक दबाव को बढ़ाती है, जबकि आत्मविश्वास और सही दृष्टिकोण से बच्चों को बेहतर परिणाम मिलते हैं।

 Holi Celebration in Pre-Primary Section 

Wednesday, 12th March: The School's Pre-Primary Section celebrated the Holi festival enthusiastically. The teachers began the event by telling the children the story of Holi Dahan, which the children listened to attentively and enjoyed thoroughly.

After the storytelling session, the children eagerly participated in the Holi celebration. They applied colours to one another and embraced each other, fostering the spirit of camaraderie and friendship. The teachers also joined the celebration, dancing with the children and reveling in the festivities. This joyful atmosphere helped create lifelong memories for the students.

 मित्रता 
जीवन में मित्र होना परमावश्यक है। कहा गया है कि 'अमित्रस्य कुत: सुखम् ' अर्थात् जीवन में मित्र होना चाहिए। अब प्रश्न उठता है कि मित्र कैसा होना चाहिए। आचार्य रामचंद्र शुक्ल लिखते है कि खाने पीने, सैर सपाटा करने या हंसी मजाक करने के लिए कई लोग आसानी से मिल जाएंगे पर सुहृद मित्र आसानी से नहीं मिलेगा। फूहड़ मजाक में हमारे साथ हंसे या हमारा यू ही साथ दे वह सच्चा मित्र नहीं हो सकता। बुराई से बुराई का मेल जल्दी हो जाता है ऐसे में बुरे लोग मित्र बन जाए तो इसमें आश्चर्य की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं। कभी कभी बुराई, अच्छाई को भी मित्र बनकर अपने जैसा बना लेती है। अच्छा व्यक्ति सोचता है, मैं साथ रहूँ तो कोई असर नहीं होगा। परन्तु बुरी आदतें धीरे धीरे कब पैर जमा लेती हैं पता ही नहीं चलता और जाने अनजाने हम उसका शिकार बन जाते हैं। यदि हमारे भीतर ऐसी प्रतिभा है कि मित्र को बुरी आदतों से छुड़ा लेंगे तो ठीक है आप अपने प्रयास जारी रख सकते हैं किंतु यदि मित्र की बुरी आदतों में परिवर्तन लाने की क्षमता नहीं है तब उस मित्र से दूरियां बना लेनी चाहिए। क्योंकि ऐसे मित्र हमारे भविष्य वरण में बाधक बन सकते हैं। मित्रता की बात की जाए और कृष्ण सुदामा, कर्ण दुर्योधन का संदर्भ न दिया जाए ऐसा तो हो नहीं सकता। कृष्ण  सुदामा की मित्रता का मोल अलग ही है हम चर्चा करेंगे कर्ण और दुर्योधन की मित्रता का। निस्संदेह दोनों ने अपनी मित्रता बड़े व्यावहारिक रूप से प्रदर्शित की किंतु बुराई यानी दुर्योधन की मित्रता कर्ण के जीवन को लील गई। ये भी उचित है कि मित्र की मदद करते हुए प्राण चले जाएं तो कोई शोक का विषय नहीं और भी कई ऐसे उदाहरण होंगे जिसमें मित्र के लिए प्राण दिए। किंतु यहाँ कर्ण ने बुराई को बचाने और अच्छाई को खंडित करने की चेष्टा की। ऐसे में उसका पतन निश्चित था, चाहे भले वह कितना ही बड़ा महारथी क्यों न हो। हम बाजार से कोई सामान्य वस्तु भी खरीदते है तो अच्छी तरह से देखभाल कर खरीदते है। यह वस्तु जीवन भर साथ नहीं रहेगी फिर भी पूर्ण निश्चिंत होने पर ही खरीदते है। परन्तु जो मित्रता जीवन भर रहने वाली है उसके लिए कुछ भी चिंतन आवश्यक नहीं समझते! मित्र दृढ़चित्त, सत्य संकल्प, मृदुल और पुरुषार्थी होना चाहिए।जिनकी आत्मा अपने इन्द्रिय-विषयों में ही लिप्त है; जिनका हृदय नीचाशयों और कुत्सित विचारों से कलुषित है, ऎसे नाशोन्मुख प्राणियों को दिन-दिन अन्धकार में पतित होते देख कौन ऎसा होगा जो तरस न खायेगा? उसे ऎसे प्राणियों का साथ न करना चाहिए। अत: हृदय को उज्ज्वल और निष्कलंक रखने का सबसे अच्छा उपाय यही है कि बुरी संगत से बचो। यही पुरानी कहावत है कि-
'काजर की कोठरी में, कैसो हू सयानो जाय।
एक लीक काजर की, लागिहै, पै लागिहै।।'

 विचारधारा का महत्त्व 
सामाजिक जीवन या यों कहे कि सार्वजनिक जीवन में हमें नित नये-नये अनुभव होते है। किसी व्यक्ति से भेंट या वार्तालाप के दौरान कभी-कभी हमें अप्रत्याशित व्यवहार देखने को मिलता है और ऐसा न केवल मानव बल्कि अन्य प्राणियों में भी होता है। जैसे कि हमारे साथ घुल-मिल कर जीने वाला एक प्राणी जो अपनी अद्वितीय निष्ठा के लिए जाना जाता है, जिसे हम 'श्वान' कहते है। श्वान कभी-कभी किसी राहगीर की ओर भौंकते हुए या वाहनों के पीछे भागते हुए  देखा जाता है , चाहे वह परिचित हो या अपरिचित। भले ही हमने उसे कभी छेड़ा भी न हो, तो फिर ऐसा क्यों होता है? एक छोटे से दृष्टांत से समझते है। एक गाँव में एक धनी व्यक्ति रहता था जिसका पूरे गाँववासी आदर करते थे और मेलजोल बनाए रखते थे। एक दिन सवेरे वह अपने मकान के बाहरी चबूतरे पर बैठे-बैठे हुक्का गुड़गुड़ा रहे थे कि एक किसान वहाँ से गुजरा। किसान ने सोचा कि उस धनिक से मेल-मिलाप बढ़ाना चाहिए, इसी भाव से अभिवादन में कहा- " सेठ जी हुकम विराजें हो क्या?" तपाक से जवाब मिला- " विराजें नहीं तो तेरे लिए मर जाए क्या?" बेचारा किसान इस अप्रत्याशित व्यवहार से सहम गया। कुछ सोचने लगा तभी उस धनिक का बच्चा वहाँ आ गया। किसान ने सोचा इस बहाने सेठ से कुछ देर बातचीत हो जाएगी तो अपनापन दिखलाते हुए बोला- "सेठजी हुकम! ये बाबू साहब आपके है क्या?" जवाब मिला- "आपके नहीं तो तुम्हारे बाप के है क्या, पूछता है, हूँ!" किसान हैरान था, समझ नहीं पाया परंतु वहाँ से चले जाना उचित समझा तो सेठ से बोला- "अच्छा, चलता हूँ सेठ जी"। उसी तेवर में सेठ बोला- " जा- जा, तेरी हो जो कर लेना।"  किसान इस अटपटे व्यवहार के बारे में सोचते हुए चलता बना। सोचें! ऐसा क्यों हुआ होगा? दरअसल उस वक्त वह धनिक किसी नकारात्मक सोच में उलझा  हुआ था अतः वह अनुचित व्यवहार कर रहा था। प्रायः हम ऐसी स्थितियों से टकराते है। सोचें ऐसा क्यों होता है? हमारा मन-मस्तिष्क सुबुद्धि और कुबुद्धि इन दो मनोवृत्तियों के सहारे कार्य करता है। जिस समय हम जैसे विचारों में उलझे हुए होते है, हमारा आचरण भी वैसा ही प्रकट होता है। हम सभी को खासकर युवा पीढ़ी को यह समझने की आवश्यकता है कि हमारी विचारधारा हमारे आचरण की और हमारे जीवन की दिशा तय करती है। अगर जीवन को श्रेष्ठ और आदर्श बनाने की चाह हो तो लगातार सद्संगति में रहें और सद्साहित्य पढें जिससे कि सुबुद्धि का पक्ष सुदृढ़ हो सकें। लगातार सकारात्मक विचारों का अनुचरण करें।

 Dedication 
Dedication is the driving force behind every great achievement. It is the commitment and hard work we put into our goals despite challenges. Even the most talented people may not succeed without dedication, while an average person with strong dedication can achieve greatness. 
Dedication teaches us important moral values like patience, perseverance, and hard work. When we are dedicated, we learn the value of time and effort. It teaches us discipline, responsibility, and the importance of never giving up. History has shown that all successful people, from scientists to athletes, have achieved success through their dedication.
For example, Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb, but his dedication kept him going. Similarly, athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo and Serena Williams train for hours daily, proving that success is not just about talent but about dedication and hard work.
Dedication is the foundation of success. It helps us stay focused, work hard, and overcome obstacles. No matter what challenges come our way, if we stay dedicated, success will follow. So, let’s commit to our goals, stay dedicated, and never give up because dedication turns dreams into reality.

 Importance of Values 
Moral Values such as respect, honesty, trust, courage, discipline, and caring are essential to our personality. When combined with education, they shape a strong and well-rounded character.
"Our education is meaningless without moral values." This statement highlights the importance of moral values in ensuring we use our education for the greater good—contributing to social welfare, national development, and overall societal progress. Moral Values create a significant difference between individuals by influencing their actions and guiding them toward ethical behavior.
To achieve success and sustain it, "we must maintain a balance between our ego and moral values." As humans grow and develop, the ego naturally increases. However, if the ego becomes dominant, moral values gradually diminish. The ego compels us to think only about ourselves, whereas moral values teach us to consider the well-being of others.
When ego takes precedence over moral values, a point may come when we completely disregard the needs and feelings of others. This can lead to our downfall, as selfishness and arrogance often result in negative consequences. On the other hand, good deeds always elevate us, and these good deeds are rooted in strong moral values.
Ultimately, "moral values make us human; without them, we are no different from animals." They define our humanity and guide us toward a life of integrity, compassion, and responsibility. Therefore, integrating moral values into our education and daily lives is crucial for personal growth and the betterment of society.

 Don't Judge a Book by its Cover 
Judgment is more than a simple assessment—it shapes our lives, influencing how we protect ourselves and perceive others. Sometimes, it serves as a shield, helping us navigate challenges, but other times, it can act as a barrier, preventing us from seeing the full picture. Quick judgments, often based on limited information, can rob us of deeper connections and valuable insights. How frequently do we find ourselves making quick decisions, assuming we are safeguarding our interests, only to realize later that we may have overlooked an important truth?
Imagine a determined bird searching for a safe place to rest. The bird, weary from its journey, spots two towering trees. Seeking shelter, it first approaches Tree One with hope. "Will you provide me refuge?" the bird asks. To its dismay, Tree One refuses. The rejection stings, leaving the bird confused and disheartened. Was the tree dismissing its worth? Had the bird misjudged its options? Despite the setback, the bird refuses to give up. With resilience in its heart, it turns to Tree Two.
Tree Two welcomes the bird with open branches, offering comfort and security. Grateful and relieved, the bird settles into its new home. Just when it begins to feel at peace, a storm brews on the horizon. Winds howl, rain pours, and the night turns into a battle for survival. The bird clings to Tree Two as the storm tests its strength. As lightning illuminates the sky, the bird catches sight of Tree One in the distance. Once towering and proud, Tree One now struggles against the storm. Its mighty branches snap, and its roots loosen. With one final gust of wind, the tree collapses into the river below, reduced to driftwood.
A mix of emotions floods the bird—relief, triumph, and an unexpected realization. At first, the bird had seen Tree One’s rejection as an act of dismissal. But at this moment, clarity strikes. The tree had not refused out of cruelty or judgment; it had known its own weakness. Unable to withstand the storm, it had chosen to turn the bird away rather than offer false security. What once seemed like rejection was, in fact, an act of wisdom.
This story serves as a powerful metaphor for our own experiences with judgment. Frequently, we are quick to label actions as rejection or failure without understanding the deeper reasoning behind them. When someone declines an opportunity or sets a boundary, it may not be about denying it but rather an act of self-awareness. Similarly, when we face setbacks, we may later realize that they were not obstacles but redirections leading us toward something better.
When used thoughtfully, judgment is not about categorizing things as good or bad—it is about understanding complexity. It invites us to see beyond the immediate, to recognize both strengths and limitations in ourselves and others. Instead of rushing to conclusions, we can pause and ask: Is there a lesson hidden within this moment? Could there be wisdom in what seems like rejection?
Next time you encounter rejection, uncertainty, or a seemingly closed door, take a moment to reflect. Could an unseen wisdom be guiding your path? When judgment is used not to criticize but to understand, it becomes a tool for clarity, empathy, and connection, transforming obstacles into stepping stones for success.

 Good Company is important. 
The people you surround yourself with will define what kind of person you are; otherwise, people can only guess; no one can tell anything about you. You are the average of the 4-5 people you live among. Company is important because you can control anything, but you cannot control your thoughts because if someone mixes poison in food, then it can be treated, but if someone mixes poison in your thoughts, then it cannot be treated. If you have company, then it should be good; otherwise, you should remain alone. This is such a quality that if you can develop it, then your life and your future will be better. Example: If your company is with people who are fitness conscious, then it is guaranteed that you will never become fat. So then the question is, how will you know which is a good company and which is a bad company? It is not written on someone’s face whether he is good or bad. I will tell you how you can identify a good company; it is a simple process. If the people you live among give you big dreams, visions, and stories that make you unable to sleep at night, then that is good company for you. The company among whom you are uncomfortable is good for you, and the company in which you are comfortable is not good for you because to be successful, you have to go to the uncomfortable zone. There is no contact between success and comfort. You get success only from a positive atmosphere because “जैसी संगत वैसी रंगत”.

The Importance of Responsibility in Life 
Responsibility is an important quality that helps us grow as individuals and build strong relationships. It means being able to make choices, accept the results of those choices, and keep our promises to ourselves and others. In our personal lives, being responsible means managing our time well, doing what we say we will do, and being honest about our actions. This helps us earn trust and respect from family and friends.
In the workplace, responsibility is just as important. When employees take charge of their tasks, they create a positive atmosphere and help the team work better together. Responsible workers are good at solving problems and communicating clearly, which leads to better results and a happier workplace. Employers appreciate responsible people because they meet deadlines and maintain high-quality work.
Responsibility also means thinking about how our actions affect others and the world around us. When we act responsibly, we make better choices that can help our communities and the environment.
In short, being responsible is key to living a good life and succeeding at work. By being responsible, we not only improve our own lives but also make a positive difference in the lives of others.

 मेरा पसंदीदा फल - आम 
आम को फलों का राजा कहा जाता है। यह मेरा पसंदीदा फल है , जिसे मैं गर्मियों में बड़े चाव से खाती हूं। यह फल बहुत मीठा होता है। इसका रंग पीला,  तो कभी हल्का लाल होता है । हम कच्चे आम , जिसे कच्ची केरी भी कहते है , उससे आचार भी बनाते है, जो बहुत खट्टा मीठा होता है। इसका रस मुझे बहुत अच्छा लगता है। इससे मुरब्बा भी बनता है। मेरे घर में सभी को आम बहुत अच्छा लगता हैं।

 Poem 

Mother Doesn't Want a Dog
Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they smell,
And never sit when you say sit,
Or even when you yell.
And when you come home late at night
And there is ice and snow,
You have to go back out because
The dumb dog has to go.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they shed,
And always let the strangers in
And bark at friends instead.
And do disgraceful things on rugs,
And track mud on the floor,
And flop upon your bed at night
And snore their doggy snore.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
She's making a mistake…
Because, more than a dog, I think,
She will not want this snake!

 Interview with Prakash Dangi Sir (Senior HOD of Science) 
Reporters: Mohita Solanki & Vijeta Solanki
RP: What approaches have you found most effective in engaging students and promoting learning?
PDI: Engaging students and promoting learning requires a combination of strategies tailored to their interests, needs, and learning styles. These include peer learning, project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, student-centered teaching, building a positive classroom environment, making real-world connections, and using formative assessments.
RP: How does the school support students with diverse learning needs?
PDI: Our school supports students with diverse learning needs by tailoring lessons to fit the unique dynamics of each classroom. Personalized plans are designed for struggling students, and regular parent-teacher meetings help track progress and refine instructional strategies.
RP: What are some of the most significant changes you've seen in education over the years?
PDI: Over the past three to four years, the rise of online education—accelerated by the pandemic—has made learning more accessible and flexible. Digital tools, online learning platforms, and AI-powered tutoring have revolutionized how students access and interact with information.
RP: What is the most interesting topic in your subject?
PDI: One of the most fascinating fields in science is quantum chemistry, which explores how atoms and molecules behave at the quantum level. It explains counterintuitive phenomena, such as why electrons don't collapse into the nucleus, how light interacts with matter, and why molecules have specific shapes.
RP: Any advice for students?
PDI: To study effectively in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, students need smart strategies. These include using the Pomodoro technique (studying for 25-50 minutes followed by a 5-10 minute break) to maintain focus, summarizing topics in their own words, setting realistic goals, breaking large tasks into smaller steps, exercising regularly to reduce stress and improve concentration, and staying motivated.
Board exams mark a significant milestone in a student’s educational journey. As the exams approach, students diligently revise their syllabus and participate in mock tests to assess their readiness. This preparation is crucial for building confidence and identifying areas that need improvement.
Support from teachers and parents plays a vital role, offering encouragement and motivation to help students stay focused. Additionally, prioritizing health during this intense period is essential. Managing stress through healthy routines, adequate sleep, and relaxation techniques can significantly enhance performance.
Ultimately, this phase is not just about exams but also about personal growth and resilience in overcoming challenges.
