Will to Lead 89 DAV Pride Awards KBDAV-7 got the 'Pride of DAV Award' six times for outstanding and excellent results under my Principalship. The school is known as one of the best in tri-city for studies. I had formulated a different methodology for board exams. The importance of self-study was stressed. Students used to go through class tests for every lesson twice a year before the half-yearly and nal exams. Students were also given review exams for every chapter on the pattern of board exams. It is very satisfying when children go to the exam center well prepared, with no stress, no anxiety, and a tension- free and balanced mind. Every child was assessed based on their performance, results, behavior, and their interest in studies. I have been dealing with problem children. Proper counseling was provided to such students. Such students could not focus on their studies because of domestic issues. Here I would like to mention about one of my brilliant students. That girl was an intelligent child, but as the board exams came closer, she started losing interest in studies, which was quite evident. When the matter was reported to me by teachers, I called the girl and tried to extract the reason for her losing interest in her studies. Slowly and gradually, she shared that there has been a dispute between her parents, when her mother suddenly left the house. The child was given counseling, and I immediately called both parents separately and heard their grievances towards each other. After listening to both of them, I counseled them individually and cooled them down by indicating their responsibilities towards their daughter. Ego issues were affecting the child's mental health. Finally, both parents reconciled with

Starting of Will to Lead 91 Saral Ahsaas 91 School I always wished to adopt poor children and educate them for free. So I started looking for the poor children. In the rst phase, 40 children from Bapu Dham Colony were taken with the primary aim to provide quality education to these children. They were provided free uniforms, books, transport, and education. A separate wing was created for these children under the name 'SaralAhsaas'. The selection of these children was very challenging. Bapu Dham Colony in Sector 26 is very close to the school. My teachers and I used to visit their homes and collect complete information about families' status, earnings, source of daily living, and the number of children in their families. We also involved the Mayor of that area. To our surprise, the income was kept hidden. However, they were asked to get the income certied through the SDM, Chandigarh. Anyway, the rst lot of 40 children was admitted. They were the poorest of the poor. Their parents were involved in cleaning and collecting garbage, doing household work, cleaning the dishes and clothes, etc. Those children were not going to any school. I prepared their list myself and admitted them under the banner of \"Saral Ahsaas.\" Sh. Krishan Mohan, Home-cum-Education Secretary, Chandigarh, inaugurated the Saral Ahsaas – School for the underprivileged. The main school teachers taught them the same syllabus as that of other students in a separate block.

I appreciate the idea behind ‘Saral Ahsaas’ for imparting totally free education to children from under privileged and poor families of the society.

I went to Fortis Hospital and showed my knee X-rays to Dr. Harsimran, a renowned Knee specialist. He advised me to go for knee replacement for both knees. I am a very pain-sensitive person, but Mrs. Sweety Bahl and Mrs. Reema Dewan built up my morale and encouraged me as both had undergone knee surgery themselves. I nally met Dr. Harsimran and xed up my surgery date on 12th March in the morning's early hours. I got an executive family suite booked for myself and got myself admitted to the hospital, along with my moral supporters. My adopted daughter Priyanka, Nisha, my Assistant, and Mrs. Sweety Bahl went with me to the hospital. The next day at 5.30 a.m., the nurse came to take me to the operation theatre. I was terried. The doctor gave me anesthesia, and I fell unconscious. I remember that when I was in the recovery room, Dr. Harsimran told me, \"Madam, both your knees have been operated on successfully.\" Now we are shifting you to the intensive care unit. I was under the inuence of anesthesia and had to stay in ICU for three to four days and was attended to very efciently by nurses and doctors. I was shifted to my room, and everyone gave me full support, but sometimes I used to get scared also. After 12 days
Will to Lead 101 stay in Fortis Hospital, I was relieved. My husband appointed a staff nurse to look after me at home. She started working as a caretaker, and we also engaged the physiotherapists to help me do knee exercises. One from Fortis Hospital, Mr. Jagjit Singh, and the other, Dr. Gaur, retired Physiotherapist from PGI, visited in the morning and evening to train me in rigorous exercises. Soon I was able to walk without any support of a walker or stick. As knees had to take time in healing, I thought of fullling my ambition of establishing myself as an author of Biology Books for 9th and 10th classes. I contacted Mr. Navin Joshi Ji of Viva Publishers. Viva Biology for Class 9th and 10th were written according to the latest NCERT syllabus prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education. The books' content is lucid and concise, supported by well-labeled diagrams, pictures, illustrators, and examples.

President Sir had some specic ideas in his mind. He wanted to introduce Salwar Kameez for girls of higher classes. It took me a year to prepare different designs. I would extend my thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Sidhu, parents of my school student, Anupreet Sidhu. They stood by me and kept a lot of patience as we went to Delhi with a dressed-up mannequin to show to uniform committee members. After prolonged exercise, the uniforms were nalized and announced.
