Education without values is incomplete – for then it will only equip our children to make a living and not a life. Each one of us nds ourselves at the crossroads of value crisis in the society. Role models are glaringly absent and our children are groping for a direction in the vacuum of values. It is so important at this impressionable stage that our children learn the fundamental values that will give them a foundation for a happy, contented life in the years ahead. It is with this conviction that we decided to reacquaint ourselves and the children with the eternal values embodied in our epic, the Ramayana. The values of truth, righteousness, compassion, the courage to stand up for the right, the virtue of honouring commitments, leading a life of balance and in harmony with nature and above all, faith in the power of the divine - Ramayanaencompasses all this and much more. It was a joy to see the children go through the panorama of these virtues and values. Our children are exposed to the negativity of violence, selshness, corruption and much more in the real world and through the media. Let us also give them an insight into the positivity of virtues and values that will enable them to face the challenges that lie ahead. I am sure that each one of us, and our children will carry some part of the Ramayana with us throughout our lives. Intelligence, success, high achievement and money are important and worthy goals but would be meaningless if our children are unhappy and discontent. Let us, as parents and teachers, continue to empower the young minds entrusted to us, so that they are always a step ahead, a step faster, and a step surer to take on every challenge that tomorrow brings. In all humility, I take this opportunity to thank some very special people without whom these achievements could not have been possible - Sh. K.K. Khullar, President – Child Education Society for motivating us towards making each tomorrow better than today. I thank Sh. L.R. Channa, Vice President – C.E.S. and Chairman – Managing committee of the school for his constant support and guidance. His ever positive attitude and encouragement give us the condence to keep soaring high. I thank Mrs. Matto for inspiring us and being with us here today. I extend my gratitude to Sh. S.K. Bhattacharya, former Secretary of the Managing Committee of the school. I thank all the members of the Child Education Society, members of the Managing Committee of the school and my fellow Principals from Bal Bharati Schools and beyond. Their constant guidance has been our strength. I thank every parent of the school for their constant support. I thank the entire staff, teaching and nonteaching, for it is they who work tirelessly, yet joyfully, to keep the school on the path of excellence. And above all, I thank every child of the school for it is their efforts that become our achievements, and their achievements are our pride. Today, Bal Bharati Public School, Pitampura is synonymous with holistic education – a place where students evolve into responsible individuals with condence in their abilities and potential, a strong faith in themselves and the conviction to realize their dreams and to take the road less travelled. Let us all together work towards this ‘man making’ education for our children giving them a happy home and a happy school. 54
