“Winners don’t do different things; they do things differently.”
We live in a world where we are all well-connected over the internet. In today’s world we can communicate online, and can even work online.
The novel coronavirus seems to have certain positive effects globally. Reduced transportation and industrial activities have allowed Mother Nature to recharge and replenish. People spent quality time with their family members, fulfilled their hobbies, learnt many new skills and understood the importance of sanitation, hand hygiene and physical distancing. Air pollution and noise pollution are significantly decreasing. Sightings of migratory birds, and endangered species of animals have become daily updates on social media. While people are rarely leaving their homes, if at all, they are spending more time on streaming platforms, playing board games with their family and spending quality time with their kids. This crisis has revealed that there is a need to improve our healthcare system and clinical researches.
Though in the crisis, the classes could not be held in physical mode but the school could fairly and impactfully reach out to the students at their homes through online classes and blended learning but with the cooperation and coordination of our esteemed parents.
Not only online classes but we have been able with everyone’s cooperation to conduct assessment and evaluation through online tools and pen paper test. Even observations and celebrations including co-curricular and extra-curricular activities as well as Exhibition on Science, Social Science and Linguistics were successfully accomplished on virtual mode.
It gives me immense pride and pleasure as I stand before you to present the annual report of the school for the session 2019 and 2020.

A host of co-curricular activities were conducted in virtual mode under able guidance of the teachers. Let's have a glimpse of the creativity of our talented students.
Observation and celebration of some important events on digital platform includes DAV United Festival, International Yoga Day, Plantation Day and Independence Day.
Conducting Parent Teacher Meeting on virtual platform has been a new experience. These meetings not only helped in resolving the issues related to online classes, assessment and evaluation as well as various co-curricular and extracurricular activities but also helped in minimising the concern and stress among the children.
The school has constituted Grievance/Complaint Redressal Committee and Sexual Harassment Committee as per the directive of CBSE.
With a sole purpose of updating our teachers with the latest changes in the curriculum and teaching methodologies a series of Capacity Building Programmes (CBPs) and Performance Enhancement Programmes (PEPs) conducted by CBSE and DAV and other agencies have been attended by the Teachers and also by the Principal of the school.

I heartily thank the management of DAVCMC, New Delhi, Shri Mahesh Chopraji, Chairman LMC, Madam Papiya Mukherjee, ARO, West Bengal Zone, Madam, Kalyani Nayak, Manager LMC, and the Local Managing Committee as also the local administration of Dakshin Dinajpur for their seamless support and guidance.
I am very much thankful to our esteemed parents for their unflinching faith in us and giving us unstinted support.
Before I conclude, it would be meaningful to quote the mighty words of Swami Vivekananda and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati -
“We are what our thoughts have made us; So, take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.” – Swami Vivekananda
“A person who consumes the least and contributes most is a mature person, for in giving lies the self-growth.” - Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati
With this, let me wish you all a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous and Peaceful New Year 2021.
Thank you all….. Thank you once again.
