“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.”

As the Academic Session 2026–27 begins, it brings renewed purpose, promise and opportunity. Each new start opens the way to fresh ideas, meaningful achievements and brighter possibilities. Our campus is filled with energy and hope, reminding us that every step taken with dedication and courage shapes a better tomorrow. This year calls on us to learn with curiosity, work with discipline, lead with integrity and move forward with confidence.
It is a matter of great honour and privilege to assume the responsibility of serving this esteemed institution as its Principal. I look forward to working in close partnership with our dedicated teachers, enthusiastic students and supportive parents as we strive together to uphold the values of DAV and pursue excellence in every endeavour.
At the outset, I congratulate our students on their exceptional performance in the Class X and XII Board Examinations. Their dedication, perseverance and determination have led to outstanding results, setting new benchmarks and bringing laurels to the school. These accomplishments reflect not only the hard work of our students but also the unwavering support of our teachers and parents.
This academic year offers fresh aspirations, meaningful learning and countless opportunities for growth. I encourage every student to participate wholeheartedly in all aspects of school life—academics, sports, cultural activities, leadership programmes and community service. True education extends beyond textbooks; it nurtures character, creativity, confidence and compassion, enabling young minds to realise their fullest potential.
As we move forward together, let us nurture a culture of curiosity, integrity, collaboration and lifelong learning. With the collective efforts of our dedicated teachers, supportive parents and enthusiastic students, I am confident that we will continue to scale greater heights and uphold the rich legacy of DAV.
I express my sincere gratitude to the DAV College Managing Committee for its visionary leadership and constant encouragement. I also thank our parents for their trust and partnership in shaping the future of our children. My heartfelt appreciation goes to the Editorial Team for their creativity, dedication and tireless efforts in bringing this publication to life.
May this academic year inspire us to dream boldly, strive relentlessly and achieve excellence together. Let us work hand in hand to build a nurturing, innovative and value-based learning environment where every child discovers the confidence to succeed and the courage to make a positive difference in the world.
