Principal’s Address Sir, Bal Bharati is indeed honored by your noble presence at its Annual Day Programme. Our warm felicitations are also extended to Ms. Madhavi Mudgal, one of the leading Classical dancers of India. A highly renowned exponent of the Odissi style, Ms. Madhavi initially studied Bharatanatyam and Kathak under eminent gurus and finally chose Odissi as her medium of expression. A prime disciple of legendary Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, she is credited with bringing a greatly refined sensibility to her art form. She has received repeated acclaim in the major cities and dance festivals that have featured her throughout the world. Apart from establishing a niche in the international dance scene as a soloist, she has also received critical acclaim for her choreographic works. Her commitment to the continuation and augmentation of her chosen art form has seen her as one of the foremost teachers in her generation. Besides, guiding students into the finer nuances of Odissi at the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, founded by her illustrious father, Pandit Vinaya Chandra Maudgalya, she also conducts workshops in the dance form all over the world. Numerous awards and honours have been bestowed upon the accomplished Ms. Mudgal. These include the Sanskriti Award, President of India's award of Padma Shri, the Orissa State Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, Grande Medaille de la Ville by the city of Paris,

Principal’s Address the Central Sangeet Natak Akademi Award and the Delhi State Parishad Samman, besides being conferred the title of the Nritya Choodamani. Ma’am Bal Bharati is profoundly blessed by your kind presence here, as our eminent Guest of Honour for today’s programme. I also extend a hearty welcome to all the members of Managing Committee, Parent Teacher Association, Alumni Association, colleague Principals and Parents on the momentous occasion of the school’s Annual Day and Prize Distribution Function.

“Sow an act, and you reap a habit Sow a habit and you reap a character Sow a character and you reap a destiny”

George Dana Board Man

Attitude and habits are formed very early in one’s life. What children learn in their impressionable childhood years stays with them throughout their lives. And, children as we all know constitute the future of a Nation.

Principal’s Address The 16/12 Delhi episode shook the collective consciousness of our nation. It brought to fore the contrariness that exists in our society – our culture & traditions teach us to revere woman as a goddess yet we cannot ensure safe existence to a woman in her journey from the womb to the tomb. A woman doesn’t ever feel safe. Secondly, despite technological advancements and the world being in a constant state of flux, the centuries old, deep rooted malaise of discrimination on the basis of gender – continues to exist, as always. Even today, a girl-child is denied the right to live. Although, society does play an important role in moulding mindsets of people, the school and home environment are now being looked at, as potential instruments of positive change that can save the future generations from abyss of depravity and gross inhumanity. School and home, both, have the advantage of dealing with innocent, receptive and credulous young people - who like wet clay can easily be moulded. Values and attitudes that promote gender equality can be developed at early stages of life itself, such that it contributes to the overall progress of the Nation. In fact, school being a more systematized institution – can inculcate gender sensitivity in a more effective manner. You will be glad to note that being a co-educational institution, we have been giving equal importance to our students - boys & girls, both. The trend has always been a part of the core consciousness of Bal Bharati. Right from our

Principal’s Address classrooms, activity rooms to sports ground there are no gender marked learning spaces in our institution. Equal opportunities – irrespective of gender – exist for all. That we value our learners’ talents and capabilities – and not their gender – can be easily assessed from the achievements of our learners. It is a girl student who stood first in the NASA Olympiad – she has won an all expense paid 10 days trip to NASA. A girl student from class XI stood first in the International English Olympiad while from class XII, it was a boy student. For each boys’ team that exists in the school, for a sports activity, there is an equally zealous girls’ team too. Thus, we take care to foster an atmosphere of equality in our school campus, whether it be for our students or staff members. Students are nurtured to respect one another, regardless of any gender bias. Realizing the significant role of education in achieving the goals of equality and creating opportunities for women, to lead a dignified life, the Central Board of Secondary Education is in the process of creating modules and developing courses to promote gender sensitivity amongst the young impressionable minds. The school shall incorporate these, in their true spirit, just as all other educational reforms that were suggested by the Board in the past. Meanwhile, at the school, as we educate our students, we also ensure that they are aware of their rights and responsibilities too. This empowers the girl-students to act confidently and courageously in

Principal’s Address case of any adversity. On the other hand, being aware of the repercussions of undesirable behaviour towards women, at large, deters the boys from behaving in an irresponsible manner. Moreover, the facility for training students in Judo and Karate with emphasis on self defense techniques is available at the school for all students. In future too, the school proposes to incorporate more of such programmes, as a part of the curriculum. The educational journey at Bal Bharati, then goes beyond imparting knowledge. Through carefully planned, inter-disciplinary scholastic and co-scholastic programmes, we endeavour to equip our learners with necessary life skills and values that help them to face the challenges of life in a confident & courageous manner. It must be noted here that in the prestigious Hindustan Times-C Fore Top School Survey 2012, our school has ranked, yet again amongst the top ten schools in Central Delhi. Amongst the fourteen parameters of excellence, we scored the highest in Life Skills/Value Education criterion. Yet another achievement of the school - being placed amongst the top 50 in the league tables of India’s Best Day Schools in the Education World School Rankings 2012, bears testimony to our commitment to provide holistic education to our valued learners. In fact, envisioning a global society, the school curriculum is imbued with a distinct international perspective. Through this, we endeavour to encourage our learners to understand and appreciate cultures, customs & traditions from across the world so that they can be well-adjusted

Principal’s Address global citizens of tomorrow. Initiatives such as Robert Bosch Exchange Programme, the recent EUMIND Programme, are a part of the wide spectrum of international activities undertaken to promote the concept of global citizenship. It is in recognition of these efforts, that the school has been honoured with International School Award for the second time, by the British Council. Adding glory to our outstanding achievements is yet another award Best Practice Innovation Award in the category of Global School Education Awards that was bestowed upon the school by School of Educators and All India Conference of Intellectuals. As we continue our journey further into the 21st Century, we are conscious and committed to our role as agents of social transformation for sustainable development. As we strive to fulfill our responsibility towards creating a society free from injustices, prejudices and maltreatment against a human being based on gender, we seek the support of all stakeholders - specially the Parent community. Parents, being the first teachers, have the potential to play an immensely proactive role. Parents must become role models for their wards as children emulate them. That, both men and women, are like the proverbial complementary wheels of progress, necessary for the development of human race - is an idea that ought to be firmly rooted in the minds of our young citizens. We must maintain in our homes an atmosphere of mutual regard, respect, courtesies and good manners. Our children will then, effortlessly and naturally imbibe these values. All this would result in a society of well groomed citizens with deep convictions about human rights that one would never think of violating. It is only then, that we shall be able to call ourselves a civilized society.

Principal’s Address Ladies and Gentlemen, Community outreach, then, emerges to be one of the important objectives of all educational endeavours at Bal Bharati. In all our efforts, we have always been ably guided by the erudite Mr. K.K. Khullar, the illustrious Chairman of the school and President, Child Education Society. I take this opportunity to thank him for his dynamic vision that inspires us to “Better & Better” our performance continuously. I would also like to place on record my sincere gratitude to Mr. J.C. Ajmani, Secretary (Manager) of the school and Executive Director of Child Education Society. His farsightedness, unsurpassed knowledge and willing cooperation in all our ventures motivate us to scale yet greater heights of excellence. The members of Managing Committee, Alumni Association and Parent Teacher Association have always extended their assistance in enriching the learning experiences of Bal Bharatians, over the years. I thank you for your unstinted support. Special thanks are due to the parent body, as well. Their constructive criticism and valuable feedback has always been helpful in so many different ways. Last but not the least, the staff and students of the school deserve a special mention for their consistent diligence, sincerity and devotion with which they continue to persevere zealously in achieving excellence in all aspects of learning at school.

Principal’s Address Before concluding, I’d like to emphasize yet again that it is only through collaborative effort that we can hope to create an educated dynamic modern India – where all men and women enjoy equal rights and opportunities. Let the vision encapsulated in these memorable words of the poet laureate, Rabindra Nath Tagore, become the mission and reality of our lives.

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

Jai Hind.

Academic Achievements Education is the foundation of a civilized society. Each aspect of school life provides an avenue for the learners to grow to their full potential, achieve self actualization and develop competencies to face the challenges of today’s world with élan. Academic pre-eminence in today’s educational scenario continues to be an important yardstick though no longer the only one, of the school’s superlative performance. Our learners know it well that excellence is not achieved by accident. Thus, they persevere towards their goals with the vision encapsulated in these words: “…tiny seeds make boundless harvests, drops of rain compose the showers, seconds make the flying minutes, and the minutes make the hours…” In the All India Secondary School Examination 2012 (Class X), 354 students appeared. While average CGPA for the class was 7.73, there were 66 students who scored a CGPA greater than 9 and another 34 students were awarded a perfect score of CGPA 10, for their meritorious performance.

SPORTS “Sports teaches us to how to lose, but it also teaches us how not to be a loser.” — Anonymous The domain of sports has the vast potential to “better” the game of life itself. Besides promoting physical fitness, it lays importance on healthy lifestyle and helps in developing social skills. Sports play a pivotal role in instilling among our impressionable learners values that would hold them in good stead throughout their lives, such as, discipline, perseverance, team spirit, sportsmanship etc. Undoubtedly then, Sports is an integral part of the life of each Bal Bharatian. At school, each learner is expected to play at least two games; should be able to swim and cycle; and also achieve the minimum Physical Fitness programme that has been formulated for the learners. Besides, a comprehensive record of Medical and Fitness status each, of students is regularly maintained and communicated to the parents. It is hoped that these efforts would motivate our students to maintain healthy life style throughout. The success of our students in Sports bears testimony to the school’s endeavours in encouraging sporting talent as well as our students’ indomitable will and skill to win…

Workshops for Teachers

WORKSHOP FOR TEACHERS “If we teach today, as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” — John Dewey Teaching is an ongoing learning process. The critical role that teachers play in the future of the Nation and in the lives of their learners can be determined from these words of Alexander the Great, “I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.” Educators, therefore, need to be well informed and inspired to facilitate learning and mentor students effectively to face the real life challenges of tomorrow. The school facilitates the participation of teaching faculty in a wide range of workshops/seminars/in-service
