ARA---------------------------On the occasion of the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, the 'Run for DAV' was organized across India at the call of DAV CAE, New Delhi. DAV Dhanupura and BS DAV (Meal Road) participated in this event with great enthusiasm, joined by their students, teaching staff, and non-teaching personnel. The run was led by Principals Neeshu Jaiswal and Nupur Thakur.

Following the recitation of the Gayatri Mantra and the DAV Anthem, the 'Run for DAV' team was flagged off by the two principals alongside Amit Kumar Suman, MD of Shahabad Dairy. Starting at 6:30 AM from the Red Cross Building, the team ran through various parts of the city before arriving at the Veer Kunwar Singh Stadium at Ramna Maidan, where teachers, family members, and students paid floral tributes to the portrait of Gandhiji. Remembering Gandhiji and Shastriji, the children delivered speeches and presented devotional songs (bhajans and kirtans). On this occasion, Principal Neeshu Jaiswal apprised the gathering of the ideals held by Gandhiji and Shastriji. She stated that DAV is advancing in the field of education guided by the philosophies of Maharshi Dayanand and Gandhiji. "Our objective is to foster the development of a society grounded in high values, equality, and harmony," she said. Principal Nupur Thakur remarked that DAV Schools bear a significant responsibility to establish educational standards in the India envisioned by Gandhiji, adding that they are steadfastly moving forward on this path. Gandhiji and Shastriji are the kind of heroes who will continue to guide the nation for ages on the path of unity, integrity, and industriousness.

During the event, the participating children, parents, teachers, and staff enthusiastically conveyed a message of health and active living. To ensure the success of the run, parents and Sudha Dairy arranged for water, Frooti, ​​and Sudha Lassi at various points along the route. This purposeful event was a success, and the school community expressed its gratitude to everyone involved.
