Grown up in a family of educationists, I valued education the most in life. This viewpoint was consolidated with the assurance, vivacity and dynamism that our Alma Mater, DAV Public School, showered upon me to bring my hopes, ambitions and dreams into reality.
The term, Alma Mater, means “nourishing mother” in Latin and this is exactly how I feel for the school faculty which shaped my life with the gift of knowledge, wisdom and creativity. DAV Public School not only scored high in parameters such as infrastructure, faculty and academic environment but also idealized a perfect balance of progressive education and the spirit of traditional Indian culture.
It has been almost a decade since I wandered our school compound, as life has taken me far from Amritsar, but each time I visit Amritsar I humbly fold hands and make a silent prayer of thanks while driving past the main gate of our school.
A sense of immense appreciation, gratitude and gratefulness is all I have in my heart for the persistent faculty that made my fourteen years at DAV Public School a rewarding experience.
