Gearing up for a class on Disaster Management

As the programme is closed today; which means saying good bye to the previous batch of volunteers so that new volunteers might come to join to serve the society more actively, many outgoing volunteers became heartbroken and could stop their tears rolling down their cheeks. This really means a great loss for the whole school for a quite long time as new batch inclusion will take some time and getting useful volunteers with reliable character is becoming difficult each year. However, there is no dearth of such volunteers in the outgoing batch- in terms of sincerity, liability and perseverance.

The school wishes best wishes to the outgoing batch of NSS and wants all the students to concentrate on their studies as their selection Test Examination is past approaching for sending up at the Class XII final Examination 2012.



A little Extra word

The DVD is out now and can be had had from him and the school at production cost. He has also performed video-graphy for this year's programme. The DVD is expected soon.
