HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!

Dear all

You are great if you can find your faults,

Greater if you can correct them,

But Greatest  if you can accept and love others with their faults...

Going by this or by any other definition, our dear teachers are the greatest...! They not only accept us with our faults, flaws and imperfections, and love us unconditionally, but also dedicate their lives in perfecting those imperfections... Here's wishing all our dear dearest teachers, a VERY HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY...

Letting us rise through ourselves, letting us learn though life, letting us be ourselves, and letting us find life worth living... from the known to the unknown... we have every reason to cherish the existence of our lovely teachers... Thanks a lot, teachers...

The celebrations of Teachers' Day were held on 4 September in our school, complete with cultural programs and heart-felt wishes... Check out the photographs of the same by clicking here.

Here's a heartfelt wish again... for our teachers... HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY... :-)

Happy Independence Day!

Dear all

Today is 15 August 2010. Exactly 63 years have passed since we, Indians, under the very courageous leadership of the likes of Gandhi, Nehru, Bhagat Singh and many others, won our independence from the imperialism of British rule.

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance ... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again ...... Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru

Anyways, the day is a national holiday in India. All over the country, flag-hoisting ceremonies are conducted. The main event takes place in New Delhi, where the Prime Minister hoists the National Flag at the Red Fort and delivers a nationally televised speech from its ramparts. A colourful pageant showcasing India’s cultural diversity, symbolic depictions of the country’s advances in science and technology, and a joint display of India’s military capabilities by the armed forces are an essential part of the Independence Day celebrations.

Students of our school also, religiously, conducted a special assembly in the name of India's 63rd Independence Day. Cultural programmes like songs, dance, and drama marked the event. Though it was the magnificent march past which stole the show away. Keep up the good work friends and keep growing with each passing moment ...

Facts apart, we want to know how YOU, as an individual, justify your privilege of being a Free Indian. Tell us why do you deserve this tag...or rather, do we really deserve it? We hope, we really wake up to life and freedom and DO something so that no one dares to put up a question mark on our status of being a Proud, Free Indian...

Let's flood the comments section to discuss our duties while we enjoy our privileges (Freedom Of Speech is just one of the million rights we enjoy every day, without even realising their values!). Lets unite once again to fight the newly arrived challenges of this era ...

Happy Independence Day to all ...

Kite Flying Can Hamper Electricity Supply and Endanger Lives

Dear All

 

·         Kite flying should be avoided since the wires of kites are metallic coated which, when in contact with live electricity wires, cause them to trip and hence disrupt power supply.

·         The metallic coated manjha is a good conductor of electricity and can prove life threatening as it can electrocute people.

·         According to estimates, tripping of just one 33/66 KV overhead line can disrupt power supply to over 10,000 residents of an area. Similarly, tripping of a single 11 KV line can affect over 2,500 residents.

·         During Independence Day celebrations in 2009, over 100 such tripping were reported. The extent of delays/ damage can well be ascertained in Delhi!

·         Kite flying in restricted areas such as Metro installations and other stipulated areas can also invite hefty penalties.

***Be responsible, Be safe! ***

INTERACTIVE SESSION ON CCE

Dear all

In an endeavor to bring about the much-needed change in the education policy in India, CBSE has introduced CCE i.e. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation in schools for classes IX and X. This new evaluation system aims at identifying and promoting the hidden talents in the children and hence shifts the focus from 'just' academics to the overall development of a child. Magnificent efforts are required to be put in while bringing about a change. And in our school too, teachers are taking great pains to leave no stones unturned while contributing for a hopefully, successful run of CCE.

In a bid to create general and specific awareness for the same among students, a workshop was conducted in our school on 24th July 2010 Saturday , where our Vice Principal Mrs Anjali Malik and our Math teacher Mr. Amit Bajaj discussed about CCE. What are its implications ? Can we develop faith in this new change ?  Parents were made  aware about its various aspects and changes in the present educational system and  what is their  role is in helping their ward . Hoping everything goes well , school will organize many such workshops to build confidence of everybody  in the new changes.

Regards,

Indian Currency Finally Gets Its Very Own Sign!

Dear all

The Indian Government has finally presented to the public of India, the INDIAN RUPEE SIGN on 15 July 2010. A currency sign is a graphic symbol often used as a shorthand for a currency's name. And most currencies in the world have no specific symbol.

On 5 March 2009 the Indian Government announced a contest to create a symbol for the Indian rupee.During the Union Budget 2010 Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee mentioned that proposed symbol would reflect and capture the Indian ethos and culture. The symbol created by Indian Institutes of Technology alumnus D Udaya Kumar was selected as the official sign for the currency of India.

The new symbol is a blend of the Devanagari "र" and the Roman capital "R" without the stem. The parallel lines at the top (with white space between them) make an allusion to the tricolor Indian flag and also depict an equality sign which symbolizes the nation's desire to reduce economic disparity.The Indian government will try to adopt the symbol within six months in the country and globally within 18 to 24 months. Prior to this, the most commonly used symbols for the rupee have been Rs., Re. or रू.

We sign off on a proud note (after all, our country finally has a currency sign now!) ...

Students Sharing Their Summer Experiences!

Dear all

Recently, Nitin Agrawal, a student of Class XI of our school and Gunjan Jain (Batch 2009-2010) were selected to participate in the INVITING ALL YOUNG MINDS (IAYM-2010), a summer internship programme organised by the Mathematical Sciences Foundation in the month of June. Following is what they wish to share with all of us:


I on being selected had the pleasure to participate in an internship programme organized by Mathematical Sciences Foundation at The Air Force School, Subroto Park , supported by Department of Science and Technology ( DST) and National Mission on Bamboo Application (NMBA) between 1st June to 29th June 2010.

The programme, particularly my project aimed at innovative use of Bamboo to build mathematical & scientific tools and teaching aids owing to it renewability, sustainability, abundant supply etc. Besides our seven teaching aids namely B-anglometer (Bamboo anglo meter) , Fricto meter, Xylophone , Bapult , Geomkit, gears and Bambal instrumental in explaining concepts associated with trigonometry &heights and distances , frictional forces, musical frequency, law of conservation of energy & projectile motion , properties of polygons, working of gears and linear equations respectively we proposed a Bamboo bus shelter offering comfortable seating & protection which was equipped with modern day facilities.


During the course of the internship we also had morning lecture session with Dr Sanjeev Agrawal, Professor, MSF and Associate Professor, St. Stephen's College and Dr. Amber Habib, Professor, MSF on out of the box applications and understanding of Maths. Moreover we had lecture sessions with Dr. Arijit Mukhopadhyay , Professor IGIB and Dr. Geetha Venketraman , Associate Professor, St. Stephen's College. Also we had the pleasure of interacting with Mr. Sam Pitroda, Advisor to the Prime Minister of India and Dr. Jeff Morgan, Professor, University of Houston, and Dr. Dinesh Singh , Director, University of Delhi South Campus.

We had closing ceremony after the presentations on 29th June and we were presented with some nice books and stipend of Rs. 5000 on successful completion of the programme. It was an immensely great experience attending the programme and would have the memories and experiences preserved forever in my memory stick.


Nitin Agrawal

From June 1 till June 29, I found myself totally engrossed in the IAYM 2010, working or rather appreciating the beauty of maths with some of the most crazy (about maths!) people I ever found! With some unexpected twists in the tale, I was finally given the project of my choice i.e. Mathematical Biology! Since I had both maths and biology as my main subjects in Class XII, I was very curious to find out what lies in between the both! And I was completely awed by what I found and learned throughout the programme!


Under our mentor, our group of 5 (initially 6!), applied linear algebra and statistics to genetic data to differentiate populations and their response to disease. Besides our main project, we also worked for what was called 'Mathematical Communication' Project in which, we were given a topic of Class X. We were supposed to teach the topic in the most interactive and conducive way we could on the day of final presentation. Also, we were asked to prepare a Question Bank of our own questions for the same topic! 


The mornings were marked by lectures of eminent and interesting personalities like Dr. Sanjeev Aggrawal and Dr. Amber Habib. Bonus sessions with intellectuals from various other walks of life like Mr. Sam Pitroda, Dr. Dinesh Singh and Dr. Arijit Mukhopadhyaya made it all the more worth cherishing!


On the final day of presentations, our group managed to pull off a decent performance by presenting what all we did during the month long internship. We were awarded a (precious) merit certificate along with a stipend of Rs.5000/- and some lovely books. Needless to mention, I am now missing the pace we had at IAYM. Like all good things, it did come to an end but only after imparting fantastic education and gifting equally fantastic memories too!


Gunjan Jain


It's great to know about such interesting activities of the students of our school. If you also wish to share your experiences with us, mail us on crpfpsrohini@gmail.com . If found suitable, we would love to post it on the blog for all to read and appreciate! Till next time, we wish good luck to everyone for everything.

Dr Tathagat Tulsi, 22, becomes Professor Tulsi at IIT Bombay

Dear All

He completed high school at the age of 9, had a B.Sc at 10, an M.Sc in Physics at 12, and a PhD in Quantum Computing from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, at 21. In 2003, Time named him among the world's seven most gifted youngsters. Now, at age 22, Patna-born prodigy Tathagat Avtar Tulsi has become possibly the youngest assistant professor at IIT.

Tulsi will teach Physics at IIT Bombay from July 19, having chosen the institute over Waterloo University, Canada, and the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER), Bhopal, both of which had offered him jobs.

"I turned down Waterloo despite an impressive pay package because I do not want to go abroad now," Tulsi told The Indian Express over the phone from Patna. "My dream is to set up a lab focused on quantum computation in India, and one day help develop a largescale quantum computation-based supercomputer. IIT Bombay offers me these possibilities."

IIT Bombay confirmed that Tulsi is set to join its faculty. In an appointment letter sent on June 30, IIT Bombay Director Prof Devang V Khakar informed Tulsi that the institute's Board of Governors was pleased to offer him assistant professorship on contract at the Department of Physics.

Hailed early as a wonder boy, Tulsi suffered humiliation in August 2001 when a delegation of scientists taken by the Department of Science & Technology to Lindau in Germany for an interaction with Nobel laureates, suggested that he was a "fake prodigy" who had "mugged up" jargon which he spouted unthinkingly.

A hurt Tulsi went into a shell for several years. He returned to news this February after he became the youngest holder of a PhD in India.

"Back then it hurt a lot. But I have put the humiliation behind me, and now feel that I have achieved something. I am very happy to join an IIT as faculty. I am looking forward to teaching and research," Tulsi said.

ABHIVYAKTI

Dear All

On May 14, 2010, Shakti and Shaurya House celebrated their House function together with the underlying theme “Abhivyakti” meaning Expressions. The guest of honour was our founder Principal Shri Suraj Prakash.

The function was inaugurated in a very traditional way by lighting of the lamp by the Guest of honour Shri Suraj Prakash. The programme began with a Choir performance, where students of Shakti and Shaurya house presented a melodious song full of zest “Saho gagan ghata gehrani re”. It was followed by welcome address by our Principal madam Mrs. Meenu Tiwari.

Aakash Parida and Sakshee dhawan presented the Shakti House report to enlighten audience with the achievements of the house. Then the Orchestra presented an enchanting performance on the theme “Arrival of spring”. It was followed by the Shaurya House report which was read by Sidhharth Dwivedi and Saumya Raj. The guest of honour gave away certificates and trophies to students who excelled in various fields of art, dance, music and academics.

Students then presented a play on “Generation Gap” which was appreciated by all. It conveyed the present day scenario of diminishing values and virtues of a son/daughter towards their parents and how it needs to be curbed. At last students presented a lively and colourful folk dance of Gujarat, “Dandiya” and a western group dance.

The programme was appreciated by one and all. Our Guest of Honour encouraged students with his ever-inspiring words. Later, Mrs. Sujata Chakraborty proposed the vote of thanks. Beginning with the lyrical harmony of choir group to swaying dancers of Dandiya, the programme captured a colourful expression “Abhivyakti” and the students are determined to surprise everyone every year with a yet new expression!
