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.
