As I reflect on the recent achievements of our DAV family, I am filled with pride and gratitude. Our meeting with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji on September 6th was a moment of great honor, during which I conveyed Teacher’s Day wishes on behalf of the DAV fraternity. The Prime Minister deeply appreciated DAV’s remarkable contribution to education and urged us to actively promote the Swadeshi movement and the “Made in India” initiative.
This year has been truly extraordinary for DAV. A DAV student became the World Champion at the World Skating Championship, while Hansraj College, Delhi University, a DAV institution, secured the third position among India's top colleges. Our illustrious alumnus Shah Rukh Khan received his first National Film Award, adding yet another feather to DAV’s cap. At the World Para Athletics Championships 2025, Nishad Kumar, India's para high-jump sensation and proud DAV alumnus, set a new Asian record by clearing 2.14 meters, clearing gold, while Sandeep Chaudhary, alumnus of DAV Hansraj College, won the silver medal in Men's Javelin Throw F44.
On a personal note, I recently watched the brilliant film by Shri Anupam Kher, another shining DAVian, whose dedication to excellence continues to inspire millions.
These milestones reflect the strength, spirit, and unity of our students, teachers, parents, and alumni. With the Prime Minister’s encouragement and our collective resolve, DAV will continue to illuminate the path of education and nation-building.
Jai DAV!
