His Excellency Shri V.P. Singh Badnore; Hon’ble Governor of Punjab,Mr. Ashok Pratap Singh, President; Board of Trustees; Modern Schools, Dr. S.Y.Quraishi, Chairman; Managing Committee,Modern School Barakhamba Road, Members of the Board of Trustees, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen.

It is a joy and a privilege to welcome you all to the 96th Founder’s Day of the school. It is that time of the year once again when we gather to salute the visionary zeal of Lala Raghubir Singh.

96 years ago, in 1920, as a young 26 year old, he dreamt of an institution that would be a perfect synchronization of modern education and Indian ethos. And, thus, was born the Modern School.

An eminent, distinguished personality of stature as our Chief Guest hardly requires any introduction. However, I shall briefly introduce him. Shri V P Singh Badnore is, presently, the Governor of Punjab.

Hailing from the erstwhile royal family of Badnore in Rajasthan, he has dedicated his life to the cause of his constituency and the BJP. Amongst his noteworthy achievements are three distinguished tenures in Parliament, as both a Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha member. He was a Member of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly for four terms and also held the portfolio of Minister of Irrigation in the Rajasthan Government before he moved to the National turf. An alumni of Mayo College, Ajmer and ASCI College, Hyderabad, Mr Badnore has wide and varied interests. He is a keen swimmer, a wild life photographer and nurses a fondness for vintage cars. He has also authored a book ‘Jaimal Vansh Prakash’ on the history of Mewar and Mertiya Rathore. Rajya Sabha records describe him as an agriculturist, environmentalist, social worker, and a sportsman.

He is not only an avid politician but also a wild life enthusiast and has been actively involved in the conservation of Tigers. As Chairman of the Tiger Task Force, he was instrumental in rehabilitation of tigers in Sariska, at the time when poaching of tigers had been at an all time high and all the tigers had been poached in Sariska in 2003-2004. Rehabilitation of tigers was done by translocation of tigers from the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. First time in the world, such a Herculean task was carried out. Panna tiger reserve also followed suit and tigers were then rehabilitated there as well.

He was also selected in the Times Of India survey of top 25 MPs’ of Lok Sabha during the year 2003-2008. Sir, We are indeed honoured to have you amongst us this evening. I would also like to extend a hearty welcome to his spouse Mrs. Alka Singh.

Modern School Barakhamba Road has been able to grow remarkably in leaps and bounds under the able stewardship of Mr. Ashok Pratap Singh, President, Board of Trustees, Modern Schools. He continues with the aspiration of Lala Raghubir Singh and provides us with his unstinted support in our mission to provide holistic education to the generations of tomorrow. His faith in us,along with the guidance of Dr. S.Y.Quraishi, Chairman, Managing Committee, Modern School Barakhamba Road and other Members of the Board of Trustees, motivates us at Modern School, Barakhamba Road to continue to strive harder and better ourselves to achieve greater heights in all the spheres. Let me tell you, that for us at Modern, the sky is not the limit.

The Columban Open Quiz held at St. Columba’s School, New Delhi, is widely acknowledged as being both the largest and the most prestigious school quiz in northern India. Superlatives aside, it is an event that undoubtedly has a place in the heart of any quizzer who has ever participated in it.

RECENT INITIATIVES

The Principal takes a personal active and keen interest to ensure holistic education of the kids. A number of initiatives have been undertaken by him to bring about improvement in all spheres of school. Apart from continuing with the assessment of notebooks on a regular basis, emphasis on punctuality, Master-on Duty concept and emphasis on discipline, Dr Vijay Datta, an avid reader himself, has has ensured continuation of the’ DEAR’ (Drop Everything And Read) Project, which aims to inculcate the habit of reading among the students. As a part of the Project, students receive special editions of the National Newspapers to keep them abreast of the latest news and make them enlightened and informed citizens of tomorrow while encouraging the habit of reading among them.

He has also mooted a ‘ Picture Description Test’ activity for the students, which intends to evaluate personality and perception of an individual.

It is considered to be effective in eliciting information about a person’s view of the world and his or her attitude towards self and others. Picture Description Test is a very good projective (perception) technique/measure to evaluate a person’s patterns of thought, attitude, behaviour, emotional responses, originality and personality.

Tablet were introduced in class S2 to ease the burden of bags.

The Flipped Class Terrain was explored and implemented in Classroom teaching. The student teacher interaction goes beyond the 4 walls of Classroom and also enables the teacher to observe and intervene as the students work. Flipped Learning is learner centric, and enables students to practise and become masters at the task at hand.

Modern School has also started the use of the School Attendance App called ‘Infinite Student’. This is available on Android and IOS devices. This app enables teachers to automatically notify the students’ absence from school and the parents can see their ward’s attendance record.

Three additional Smart Boards have been installed in the Senior School.

To conserve energy, we have undertaken the Rooftop Solar Energy Project.

A few more exhibits have been added to the Science Park of our school viz. ‘Magic of Trigonometry’, ‘Tower of Hanoi’ and ceramic tiles displaying atomic number, mass number of the elements & its uses, have been pasted on the boundary walls of our school.

GAMES & SPORTS

A sound mind in a sound body should always be the order of the day. Modern School in this connection has ensured a steadfast program in all disciplines of sports with the time-factor never being a deterrent.

MODERNITES’ TRUST

In April 2016, through a process of interview, we selected five meritorious students for admission to Class S1 with 100% scholarship throughout their schooling by Modernites’ Trust. These students are Nancy, Abdul Ali, Ayush Shukla, Dipanshi Dhiman and Pushpa.

On 7th May 2016, a meeting was held to facilitate interaction of the trustees of the Modernites’ Trust and the sponsors with the teachers and

the parents of the scholars. It was followed by a special Parent-Teacher Meeting to review the performance of the scholars by the teachers with their parents in the presence of the Sponsors. An Award Function was also organized to motivate the scholars and cash awards were given away to deserving students for their impeccable performance in various fields. The students of class 8th were given laptops to facilitate greater interaction with technology and supplement academic progress. Mr. Ashok Pratap Singh, Mrs. Ambika Pant, Mr. Sunder Hemrajani, Mr. S.P. Puri, Vidur Puri graced the occasion to encourage the scholars and their parents. The programme culminated with lunch for everyone.

The achievement of the students would not have been possible without the relentless hard work of Mrs.Jaya Khurana, Mrs.Malini Khatri, Mrs.Usha Nair, Mr.Gautam Sarkar, Mr.Rajesh Kumar and his team, Mrs.Manpreet Kaur, the HODs, the Housemasters and all the teachers.They all deserve our appreciation. I thank Mr.Gautam Sarkar and his team for his technical support and Mr. Nawal Singh for his artistic support for all activities/functions of the school. Our thanks are also due to the Administrative staff led by Mr.Balbir Sharma, and Class IV Employees. I thank the parents and the guardians for their understanding and support and for their trust reposed in all of us at School.

Before I conclude,I would like to place on recordmy deep appreciation of the constant support and cooperation received from our ever encouraging President, Board Of Trustees, Modern Schools! Mr Ashok Pratap Singh, Dr S.Y.Quraishi, Chairman, Managing Committee, Modern School Barakhamba Road and the members of the Board of Trustees and the Managing Committe. It is something which we cherish immensely and which motivates us to give our best always, every time!
