HMV Collegiate Celebrated Teachers' Day with Grandeur and Gratitude



 


Under the visionary leadership of Principal Dr. Ekta Khosla,  HMV Collegiate Senior Secondary School celebrated Teachers' Day with great enthusiasm and reverence to honour the invaluable contribution of teachers in shaping young minds and building the nation. The programme was coordinated by Mrs. Upma Gupta, School Incharge, and Mrs. Renu Walia, Incharge, Extra-Curricular Activities, under the able guidance of Dr. Seema Marwaha, Dean Academics and School Advisor. The ceremony commenced with the traditional lighting of the ceremonial lamp, followed by the soulful rendition of the DAV Gaan. The Principal, Dr. Ekta Khosla, was felicitated  with a bouquet of flowers as a mark of respect and gratitude. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Ekta Khosla spoke eloquently about the profound legacy of HMV and remarked that the institution's walls are blessed by the vision and ideals of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, one of the eminent founders associated with the institution. Addressing  the students, she emphasised that while Artificial Intelligence may transform the landscape of education, it can never replace human empathy, compassion and the emotional connect between a teacher and a learner. Extending her warm wishes to the teaching fraternity, the Principal described teachers as true nation-builders, who illuminate the path of knowledge and values and inspire generations to follow the enlightened way. She wished the teachers continued success and fulfilment in their noble vocation. The celebration was enriched by vibrant array of cultural presentations, including thought-provoking speeches, melodious singing and heartfelt poetry recitations. One of the highlights of the programme was an evocative poem presented by Yashvi of SSC-II, dedicated to Hans Raj Mahila Mahavidyalaya. Through her verses, she beautifully portrayed the institution’s enduring significance in the life and journey of every girl student. All the teachers were felicitated with handmade cards lovingly prepared by the students, making the occasion especially warm and memorable. The programme concluded with a vote of thanks proposed by Mrs. Upma Gupta, followed by a cake-cutting ceremony, marking the spirit of gratitude and togetherness that defined the celebration. The stage proceedings were deftly anchored by Ms. Parneet, along with students Pragati and Uma.
