The 4^th Annual Sports Day Speech of The President

    Delhi Public School------Janjgir-Champa

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All studies and no sports make all campus life soulless and lifeless. Sports and games are part and parcel of the balanced existence of learners and facilitators in any Institution.

Swami Vivekananda had observed, “if one can’t meditate then it is better to go…play football than to try in a futile manner for during the fast game one will have only one thought to focus.” And that is either to save the goal or pierce the goal of the opponent.

With the aforesaid words in mind I am immensely happy today on The 4^th Annual Sports Day of our school to have amongst us highly respectable Mr. Vijay Kr. Agarwal who despite having a very hectic schedule as the ASP-JC, agreed to be the Chief Guest to encourage all young learners and to imbibe in them the intrinsic values of the activities of track and field.

I have here with me our AVP Mr. Kamal Kishore Dewangan, our Honourable Princiipal Mr. Chakradhar Pani, Mrs. Meera Tiwari ,Headmistress of Govt. Naveen Primary School, Paraudera,Lachchanpur,                           Mr.Raj Kr.Upadhyay,Headmaster of Govt. Prim. School, Ghutia                   

 and Mr.Ajay Pradhan , Headmaster of Govt. Prim. School, Baraipara , all of whom add to my jubillation which I feel for all our growing children and am filled with gratitude and heartfelt thankfulness.

Our country is taking rapid strides in all spheres of human endeavour and our children are our most important human capital. CBSE in its curriculum has provided due weightage and importance to all games and sports to develop healthy body and highly spirited mind of all young learners.

Spirit of Sportsmanship ingrained early in life makes a boy or a girl a complete thinking and evolved human being and so no word of praise for true sports persons is enough ever.

When I look back I feel nostalgic to think about our first 3 years and the picture of honest toil and tremendous hard work of all our teachers and students move like a reel in a movie theatre.

Our collective labour has paved the path for atleast 20 students to partake in various ball games at the state level….thanks to the whole hearted efforts of our Games teacher(s) whose motivation and concentrated training made possible all the enthralling results galore.

I am in the know of the fact that there are miles to go, many mountains to climb and endless hurdles to clear in our ceaseless quest to add to our ever expanding bouquet of laurels.

But I promise from this podium today that with all your support and genuine belongingness we all can sure add uncountable numbers of laurels to the feathers of our glorious cap.

I believe we must never fear any war…for peace  is permanent, war just happens for a CHANGE.

And, here at DPS-JC we have a strong team which can bring about all the changes as each member is a harbinger of motion and progress. I believe, “change is the ony factor” which remains ever permanent and with this very glorious hope in the horizon here I would now like to conclude by saying…………

         Opportunities do knock on every door

But only those who are in the know of swimming can see the SHORE…..

Thank you all.

Jai Hind….Jai Bharat.
