Diwali in the Times of Corona'

A spark of Love,
                                  A slice of Divine,
                                 Together we stand,
                            To ignite the victory of Light.

           ‘Diwali in the Times of Corona’
 With all it’s charm and grandeur, Deepavali teaches us to introspect the inner fire
within ourselves. This Diwali we ignite our inner light and as our school motto goes,
                      LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.
   Let’s put our inventive minds together and make this Diwali a memorable one.

Diwali in the Times of Corona.

From Principal’s Desk
                   “A move from darkness to light, the ultimate triumph of good over evil!”

Diwali epitomizes the triumph of good over evil , righteousness over treachery ,truth over falsehood and light over
darkness. This beautiful festival illuminates every corner of India.

The COVID-19 has changed the manner of celebrating festivals all over the world, including India. Even though this
festive season we may be physically away from each other but we are well connected virtually. Let the purifying lights of
Diwali burn away the impurities of this unprecedented pandemic and provide a sign to be hopeful in this current
situation.The values cultivated by staying indoors with family has made us realise the importance of nature outdoors.
Hence let us be more responsible this year and celebrate Diwali in the most eco friendly manner within the arms of loving
nature.

May this festival of lights be the harbinger of joy, prosperity and good health for our near and dear ones. May it bring
bright sparkles of contentment that stays with us through the days ahead.

                                               Wishing the Rosarians,
                                       A Very Happy And Eco-friendly Diwali !
Warm regards and blessings,
Principal.
