Our Founder – Dr. Bhagat Ram Sahgal

President- United Nations Citizen Forum

Chairman- All India Anti-Corruption Federation

President- Peace Conference, London, 1930

Following is a short biography of the man who had a vision in mind, a vision to secure the future of the children of this noble country by doing his bit. His contribution to the society cannot be measured but can be only felt by the thousands who had the privilege to be in touch with him or the millions who have benefitted from his works to this very day. One of his many endeavours was the establishment of the Adarsh banner in the education sector of the country.

Dr Bhagat Ram Sahgal was born on 1st January 1900, in a family of humble origin, which ran a local cloth shop in Lahore, now in Pakistan, and sold clothes, imported from England. His father Lala Bal Mukand could not persuade Bhagat after he had completed his matriculation, to stay in the family business as he had interest in pursuing further education and become a doctor by profession. His passion to address public gatherings and a desire to do his bit for the nation, at a time when the whole country was fighting to break the shackles of the British Raj was much appreciated by the then, leaders of the freedom struggle. He was sent to countries like South Africa, and even England to spread the message of universal brotherhood and peace to the Indians living abroad.

It was at this juncture that the role of Raja Ram Mohan Roy emerged in the history of India, along with the evolution of the Arya Samaj. Dr Bhagat Ram Sahgal with the support of the local Indians founded the Arya Samaj in East London, U.K., Durban in South Africa and Singapore. So much so, that his statue still remains in the main hall of the office of the Arya Samaj in Singapore and their timely periodicals have his name on the front pages.

Message from the Principal

My Dear Students, Parents & Well Wishers of the school,

It gives me immense pride and joy to share my vision for the school through the Annual school Magazine – Disha. The magazine this year is an amalgamation of all the great work done by the children & teachers of the school during the session 2023-24.

I am grateful to the editorial team of teachers who have carefully crafted this edition in a monthly format which makes it easy for a reader to go through the school calendar and the activities, competitions & events carried out throughout the year in a compatible manner. The pictures, graphics & the entire designing of the magazine once again stands out, which makes reading of the same an enriching experience.

The school on the whole made giant steps in the field of education while hosting various inter-school events like Fantasia, 2nd Adarsh Table Tennis Championship, Zonal & Inter-Zonal Competitons, etc. Various staff members were awarded during the year by private & government organisations which boosts the morale of the school teaching fraternity.

The excellent CBSE Board & inter-school results are a testimony of the kind of pedigree of students we nurture & create. The Overall Best School Trophy (Cultural) amongst all schools in Zone-16 yet again is a testament of our sheer dominance amongst all private & government schools in the region.

I am grateful to the parents, ex-students & neighbours for showing faith & trust by sending their children to us, to get the best possible education & build a value system which will take them to great heights in the future.

Lastly, I would like to thank the school management for creating a safe & congenial environment to learn. The new interactive smart panel teaching system in every classroom, air-conditioning of the ground floor hall and classrooms, the senior floor new washrooms, the bal vatika play area, etc show their absolute belief that Children first!

Happy Reading & keep this treasure of memories for 2023-24 safely!

Prashant Sahgal

Principal
