From the Principal’s desk…… Dear children As the war against the pandemic continues, it’s a time to retrospect all that happened in the virtual School during the academic year 2020-21. The pandemic crisis could not dissuade us from celebrating life. I feel extremely glad on releasing the second edition of e-magazine of our school. This magazine is nothing but encapsulation and reflection of your skills and talent, your hard work and achievements. The reports about your triumphs in intra and inter school competitions, the umpteen webinars attended by you, the enthusiastic celebrations on different occasions leave us simply spell bound. We are amazed to know that how our dear children are richly endowed with enormous capacity to do wonders. I am proud that I am heading an institution where every student gets an equal opportunity to learn, explore, question and achieve. We at DAVCPS create a vibrant world of learning and the stupendous board results bear testimony to it. We not only provide rigorous learning environment but also foster positive spirit and believe in strong bonding and partnership among students, parents, teachers and support staff. Our aim is to strive for excellence by preparing you all for learning beyond your school years and groom you to be confident, articulate and enlightened individuals. While pursuing the e-pages we feel that we have successfully achieved our goal of becoming a strong community of learners together. Cheerio Archna Koul Principal
