After dealing with the issue of patriotism of our country with another skit by Nainika, Aanya, Yashasvi, Mukteshwar etc., we concluded the magnificent event with the prize distribution by our Principal Dr. Nirendra Dwivedi.

All the tiny tots came to school dressed as Lord Krishna or Radha or other characters related to Lord Krishna‟s story. The program commenced with an enthralling dance. In this dance sequence they showed the different aspect of Lord Krishna‟s life. The audiences, especially their parents were spell bound when they saw the fantabulous performance of these little kids. Nainika, Yashasvi, Khushi and Pankhudi touched the heart of everyone with their fantastic and innocent dance movements. The song of „Mukhteswar‟ was so melodious that the audience got completely memerised.

Following in the footsteps of such a pioneer, Jagran Public School organized the first Inter-CBSE Schools Football Competition. With almost twenty teams getting ready to duke it out, the competition was expected to be a thriller. Truly, the magnitude of the event wasn‟t fully understood before we saw all the teams arriving at our school grounds, and getting ready for some tight clashes. 16
Apart from yours truly, schools such as Rani Laxmi Bai Memorial School, Delhi Public School and City International School participated in this event. We saw incredible performances by many teams, not the least of which was our team‟s stellar performance, due to which we reached the quarterfinals of the event, before running into Rani Laxmi Bai School (Vikas Nagar). In a true clash between an unstoppable force and an immovable object, we lost the match in the penalty shootout, holing out to a 3-2 loss. Other matches such as Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan‟s 6-5 win over D.P.S and R.L.B‟s 3-2 triumph over Study Hall, only whetted our football-frenzied appetites. The final was a match between R.L.B Indira Nagar and Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, in which R.L.B routed their rivals in a 5-0 blitz, providing a worthy encore to the the magnificent tournament. Master Mukesh Kanaujia, a student of Shree Ram Swaroop Memorial School, was declared the Best Player of the tournament. The final match was inaugurated by Mr. Anil Kumar Banodha, Principal, Sports College, Lucknow & Deputy Director, Sports, UP. The event was refereed by the officials from the Sports College, Lucknow. 14th November 2010: On the occasion of Children’s Day the students were given an off day from their usual academic routine. There was a complete role reversal of sorts as the teachers took charge of those things which are in student‟s routine. The morning assembly was conducted by the teachers. There was a small skit conveying the importance of focusing the efforts in order to achieve something which was enacted by Ms. Parul Makhija, Saritha Divakar, Dr. Shikha Jyoti, Chetali Nigam and Ram Bharos. There was a Rhyming and group song performed by all the Pre Primary teachers. The event ended with a surprising dance performance of the teachers. The students were amazed by the multiple talents of Ms. Parul, Ms. Kavita Srivastava, Chetali and other staff members. The big smiles on the faces of all the students was perhaps the best tribute that one could give to the memories of Chacha Jawahar Lal Nehru. 17

School Report (2009 – 2010) „Prestige is to personality as rest is to the weary and water is to the thirsty.‟ Man has always strived for greatness throughout his existence and we at Jagran Public School strive for excellence. It comes as no surprise that in this never-ending quest, the school has a very busy calendar in the current session. Not only academics but with so many co curricular events lined up, „rest‟ is a word that we don‟t even think about. In the current session we have just finished with our first Summative assessments, following the guidelines of CBSE very strictly. Throughout the students of our school participated in various Inter-School events, making our school proud. Even before the session commenced it was a matter of great pride that one of our school mate, Utkarsh Tripathi (IX B) flew off to Japan under JENESYS (Japan East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths). Our school was amongst the top 12 prestigious schools of India selected by JENESYS to represent our country. During vacations around 30 students had a memorable and cool excursion to Manali. In the initial days of the session, few students of Class X went to City Montessori School for the Quiz Competition at the International Children‟s Film Festival Event, where Deepak Maurya (X-B) and Suranjan Shukla (X-B) came out tops, while Siddharth Singh captured the third position (X-A). Also, Anupriya Pandey won a consolation prize in the Art Competition. Adding another feather to our cap our students made a clean sweep winning all the three top positions in the Frameboxx Matte Painting Competition, which was based on Computer-Generated Art. The top three winners were Suranjan Shukla (X-B), Vaishanvi Dwivedi (VII-A) and Jatin Srivastava (IX-C) respectively. Earlier Shivam Dembla had won the I prize in an Art competition organized by Bharat Petroleum on the topic „Save Oil, Save Money‟. Saransh Singh, Mihir Singh and Animesh also secured positions in the same event. Just as the euphoria of this win had dissipated, we got one more reason to celebrate, when in the nationwide Horlicks WizKids Competition, we collected the Overall Winners Trophy in the city of Lucknow. The magical moves of Anamika Gupta (X- B), Udit Dwivedi (IX-C), Vallabhi Upadhyaya (X-A) and many others helped us in capturing the Dance Competition trophy. The brilliant performances of Ashish Kumar (X-B), Taruvar Aggarwal (X-B), Utkarsh Chauhan (IX-C) and many others in the school orchestra resulted in us winning the Music Competition Trophy as well. Akshat Bharadwaj (VII) also came up trumps in the English Story Writing Competition. This haul resulted in one of the most exuberant celebrations in J.P.S history. Apart from all of the above events, J.P.S also held its own in the field of sports. Our school got the opportunity to organize the Inter CBSE School Football Tournament in which 19 premier CBSE schools participated. Even though our school team bowed out in a close quarterfinal match on penalties, it was exhilarating to see this sporting extravaganza. 23
Another tournament was waiting in the wings, and in the span of a few days, we were competing in another football tournament, this time, for the prestigious Avinash Trophy. In a stunning debut performance, our school reached the semifinals of the tournament, all thanks to the superb series of performances by all members of the football team members especially Mani Raj, Shantanu Dubey (X-B) and Mohit (X-A). Two of our school mates got selected in the U.P. state Junior team of Volley ball. Jigyasa Singh (Class VIII B) and Vithika Gupta (Class VIII A) participated in preliminary trials at Christian College, Lucknow and then the main trials at Hardoi to prove their spiking abilities. This brilliant display was followed by a series of fireworks in another arena: J.P.S students participated in the InfoBazar event held at Cathedral Senior Secondary School. Trying their best in a competition where many teams of different schools all over Lucknow were participating we achieved the third position in the Juniors Quiz, thanks to the efforts of Ayush Mishra and Ayush Tripathi and also in the Ad-Mad World Competition, in which Suranjan Shukla (X-B) and Utkarsh Tripathi (IX-C) participated. A team of 7 students also went to the 3rd Annual Computer Carnival at Puranchandra Vidyaniketan, participating in various events such as Presentron (PowerPoint presentation), Revelations (Surprise Event), Stop Your Move (Flash Motion Movie) and many, many others. Utkarsh Tripathi (IX-B) won top honours in creating a movie on the topic „School Life‟, while Suranjan Shukla (X-B) won for the second consecutive year in the Presentron event. Taruvar Aggarwal (X-B) measured up to the task, winning the second prize in Relevations, while Tavishi Aggarwal (VIII-C) won the third prize in Tell A Tale (Extempore). Another event worth mentioning is the IAIS examinations conducted by Macmillan India Limited. Many top performers of the school were awarded with UNSW, Australia Gold Medal and EAA Macmillan Gold Medal for excelling in various subjects. Also, In a competition of sorts organized by the Cancer Aid Society at Press Club, Lucknow, Rochak Gupta won the I prize in the Slogan Writing competition. Vivek Vikram Singh and Aditya Kumar also won awards for their performances there. Deepak Maurya, one of our class mate gave one more reason to rejoice when he was awarded a bonafide certificate & a cheque of Rs. 5000/- for his brilliant performance in the Science field in the school, by Inspire Awards – 2010, an initiative of Department of Science & technology, Govt. of India. He will be designing a non working model and submit for analysis at the district level. Veena Malik of IX B also won an online Educational Services certificate in her individual capacity. On 25th November 2010, Spellinc 2010, an All India Inter School Spelling Competition was organized in the school. We would like to applaud the efforts of Suranjan Shukla who stood first and Shantanu Dubey & I myself for securing II and III positions respectively. 24
We at JPS never forget our social responsibilities. Every year we collaborate with Helpage India in serving the elder members of our society. This year too we collected Rs. 58000/- for the noble cause. The school also organized a Medical camp and a Dental Check up camp with the help of some leading doctors of the city for free checkups of the grand parents and other peoples of the area. On the whole, this has been a brilliant session for the school, and we hope that our winning streak continues and we keep winning more respect, more recognition, and of course, more prestige.

Academics (Senior Section) “Your progress in life begins in your own mind and ends in the same place” Napoleon Hill The session 2009-10 came to an end on the 31st of March 2010.Students passed their classes and stepped into the next one .The session witnessed almost zero failure. It was praise worthily to see a tremendous response during the fresh admissions time. Undoubtedly this was the result of strong academics and sound co-curricular activities in which nearly all the the students of Jagran Public School were involved throughout the session. The new session commenced on the 1st of April 2010. There was a slight change in the examination pattern as the school decided to strictly follow the curriculum guide lines proposed by the CBSE. The academic session was thus divided into two parts – Term I and Term II. Term I has two terms of formative tests (FA1 and FA2) and one summative test(SA1) and the pattern is followed in Term II-(FA3, FA4and SA2). The parents and guardian have been made aware of it through the school diary. Other academic related activities like projects, debates, presentations, practical work and holiday home- work have been taken into account and marked in FA1, FA2, FA3, FA4. This innovative method of academic analysis has brought about a sea change in the approach of students and swayed them away from the routine rote learning methods, which were of no use earlier. The analysis of the classwork notebooks of the students by the subject teachers from time to time meant that the students were made to realize the importance of their notebooks. The new approach have brought in drastic changes in the style of classroom teaching as it has become more practical and student friendly in nature. This way the teachers ensure that the students gain as much knowledge and the text book learning is optimized by the use of various teaching aids and different methods of teaching. The syllabus is completed much in advance to ensure proper revisions. Not only this, students are given ample time to clear their doubts and practice sample questionnaires. Emphasis has also been laid on the 3R‟s of learning that is (r)eading, w(r)iting, (r)evising. The students are made to utilize the School Library, Maths Labs, Innovative Science Labs, Computer Labs and other associated rooms so as to help them learn the basics of all the subjects. Work education on every Saturday relaxes the students as they get a break from the hectic academic schedule 2. For classes IX and X society class is compulsory on every Friday which enhances the learning process and is more or less a vocational training kind of a subject. It‟s main purpose is to make students handle certain responsibilities in a better way. Mrs. Priti Bharadwaj Academic Co-ordinator (Senior Section) 26
Academic Report (Primary Section) The new session commenced on 1st April 2010 for the classes I-V. If the foundation is strong the upcoming structure can never be weak, similarly if a student learns the basic principles of each subject then he will certainly do well in future. This foundation is laid in primary classes. Since academics forms the basic of all the formal learning, it continues to be our fundamental concern. Special stress was laid upon development of basic skills among the children especially of their reading skills, writing skills and listening skill because if a child excels in these he or she will gain confidence in the subject and that automatically translates into excellent results. CBSE has brought about a change in the assessment pattern and accordingly FA I and FA II were taken in July and August respectively which included project work, activity, notebook assessments and written text. In September Summative Assessment - I was conducted and it gives me immense pleasure to state that our students have fared extremely well in this sphere. In class I Vidhi Sharma scored maximum possible percentage (100%) in her class. The efforts of Shreya Singh (Class II), Anuja and Shalini Singh (Class III), Aashwin Vaish (Class IV) and Shivam Dembla (Class V) are praiseworthy. Following the holistic approach and the philosophy of all round development of a child we tried to expose our students to many varied experiences and provided them with innumerable opportunities to exhibit their talents. During this session our campus was a buzz with many such activities like debates, declamations, elocutions, extempore, quizzes like G.K. quiz, science quiz, computer quiz, music and dance and also art competitions. Children of classes III to V gave the exam of IAIS which is a unique educational measurement and assessment service that helps students to discover themselves and encourages them to achieve their optimum potential. The body and mind are closely connected. Not even a single thought or action comes into existence without being reflected in the personality and health of an individual. Keeping this in the mind „YOGA‟ was made the part of the curriculum in this session. The students were also taught „Japanese‟ as the third language and they have showed great interest in grasping it. They even try to use it in their day to day conversation amongst themselves. To enhance the inherent qualities and talent of the students every child was associated with the activities of his or her own choice and they did extremely well in their areas. Thus efforts will get a platform on the annual exhibition day where their exhibits are sure to be applauded. Acknowledgement of their efforts is a the only prize that all our kids need. Priti Sharma Academic Coordinator (Primary Section) 27
Pre Primary Section Classes Play Group, Upper KG & Lower KG In a revolutionary move the session 2010 – 2011 of Pre Primary Classes began on !8th February 2010. This move was made to ensure that the toddlers get used to the school environment in the three months time before the Summer Vacations. In no time, academics soared along with the rising mercury. In no time the young ones were getting adept in the reading & writing skills. From the current session the session is divided into two sessions. In each of the session the students have regular monthly tests of all the subjects. Various creative teaching methods like „playway‟ have been adopted so as to enhance the basic knowledge & skills of all the students. Regular sessions of story telling, rhyming, conversation, oratory and reading ensure that they gain confidence. All along emphasis is on inculcating good habits and values among the children as school is the place where they learn to socialize and develop mannerisms. As early as 1st May 2010, the cultural evening of the Pre Primary Section was orgaanised in which the pre primary kids got a chance to showcase their talent. In only two months time, when even their parents might be expecting their own wards to be crying and trying hard to adjust in the school, they were there performing so confidently on stage that they had their parents sitting up in disbelief. Not forgetting that they are still kids, it is ensured that they enjoy their school days. They are made to celebrate every occasion in their own innocent ways. This also acquaints them with the beauty and diversity of Indian Culture. They all actively took part in Independence Day celebration and learnt making Rakhis on the eve of Raksha Bandhan. In Janmashtami, they held the center stage as they performed in front of the whole school. They all came dressed up as Radhas, Krishnas, Vasudevs & Sudamas. The tiny hands of pre primary kids now contributes to their respective house points tally as from this session all their competitions have been given an Inter House format. Till this date they have participated and done exceedingly well in Paper Folding competition, Vegetable Printing competition, Hindi Recitation competition, English Handwriting, Hindi Handwriting and Poem recital competitions. The only difference is that there is no bitterness and rivalry in their spirit of competing. The pre primary section also went to the Lucknow Zoo where the students enjoyed immensely. They also witnessed a monkey show and even participated in a plantation drive. The guiding principle at JPS for their youngest members is to provide them with culturally sound environment, right values, love, care and protection. This grooms them botyh physically and mentally to become the shining stars of tomorrow. Mrs. Beena Nayal & Mrs. Ruby Arora 28
HOSTEL REPORT We still stick to our quote that „Hostel life is different but it has it‟s charms‟. At first sight it apparently looks sad to be away from the family and home but an insight into our daily routines will acquaint you the virtues of learning the basics of life like discipline, punctuality and collaborative working. We respect our parents for taking this selfless decision of sending us to the hostel so as to make us better citizens of tomorrow. Emotions apart, our school has separate hostels for boys & girls.

The presence of our Principal with his family was an icing on the cake. We also celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi and Id ul fitr on the same day as Samskar Sandhya. We presented various programs that we have prepared so passionately. Our Chief warden, Mr. S. K. Singh contributed to the occasion with the recitation of shlokas and hymns. We had many local outings especially to the Ambedkar Park and Kukrail. We all had performed exceedingly well this session in our First Summative Examinations. Those who lacked in academics in any of the subjects are being taken care of by our remedial teachers.

Megna Lakhmani (10 B) & Urvi Dodeja (9 C) 30
Work Experiences: A Report „Education is the manifestation of perfection already present in man.‟ New aspirations, higher goals and a great zeal to achieve more is the spirit which marked the beginning of the session 2010-2011. This spirit drives us ahead and we are all full of a sense of satisfaction of having worked in different areas with the aim of achieving more and more to shape the bright future of the children. Along with the academics, creative developments are the spokes which keep the wheel of education going. Skilled in music, art, dance, study, sports and several other areas, we are like horses galloping to new horizons. The creative talents of children are like colourful flowers which are shining in the glory of a multitude of stars. To develop creativity in children in different aspects the institution is undertaking efforts through the work experience classes along with the academics. In this session, more areas are undertaken by the teachers, such as: Hindi and English poetry writing, clay modeling, fabric painting, nib painting, sequence and beads designing, emboss painting, soft toys‟ creation, collage, appliqué work, stone painting, tie and dye, candle making, craft work, classical and folk dances, non-fire cooking, jewelry designing, creative and literary writing, vocal and instrumental music, paper bag making, paper cut flowers, gardening, book-binding, dramatics, science models, C.G. art, software designing, N.C.C, roller skating, art and painting and many more. There were some who were advised to choose handwriting improvement classes or mathematics calculation improvement classes as it was felt that they needed to enhance their basic skills. On the other hand, to enhance the general awareness skills in the children, club- society classes are also held there on every Friday of the week for classes IX and X. Under this, creativity classes have been arranged to make children aware in composition areas, getting them to work for the quarterly newsletter, Abhivyakti, and the annual magazine, Jagriti. Besides this, children are enjoying eco-club classes, oratory, foreign languages, graphic designing and animation, first-aid, craft work, vocal and instrumental music, classical and folk dances, cybernetics classes; and for doing new inventions in science, the Anveshika Lab. This creativity chases away the boredom acquired through the monotonous routines of daily life and refreshes the mind and body of a child; students are giving a lot of their effort and precious time to prepare models or products they are working upon in these activity and society classes. They are hoping to see their efforts being appreciated by the guests and their parents in the Annual Exhibition. These creative activities instilled the feeling of team work and harmonious coordination in the children without which nothing great can be achieved. As the human race in this world itself is one big team, and in all the aspects of life everyone has to act like an ideal team member. In addition to the above, J.P.S. also inculcates a healthy spirit of competition among its students. The distribution into four houses, namely Blue Birds, Green Leaves, Golden Wings and Red Roses promotes a feeling of unity and togetherness among the 31
students. Coming together like a big family, each house competes in a variety of competitions to hone its potential and prepare tomorrow‟s go-getters for the challenges they will face. This series of competitions encompasses the academic arena, such as the English and Hindi Debates, Declamation and Extempore competitions, the spellathon, the G.K. Quiz, the science quiz, poetry recitals and many, many more. Also, the students participated in sports competitions, such as the football tournament, volleyball tournament, table tennis tournament, floorball tournament and others. The sports lovers of each house competed with great zest and enthusiasm. The students also participated in competitions such as the diya making competition, kite making competition, and many others. All this showcased the stupendous effort and talent the kids put in each and every opportunity to showcase them. And thus, it is with renewed passion and vigour, I wait for the dawn of a new day, and the rising of the J.P.S. sun higher in the sky. Neerja Tripathi Activity In-charge (Senior Section) Report on Helpage India In this world of modern technology, where we are sending SMS‟s, e-mails and e- greeting to others little do realize that we have totally moved away from sending letters to our near and dear ones. Fifteen years ago, we would write letters to our grandparents showing concern about their health and informing them about our progress and performance in the schools. The grandparents would look forward to our letters and would keep them as memory. But this short cut adopting generation does not even know how the postcards and inland letters look like. They are more comfortable in paperless communication. To bridge this gap and bring Jagran Public School students closer to their grandparents, a letter writing competition was conducted by the school in association with Helpage India , Lucknow on 31st July . the aim of this was to bring the young generation closer to the older ones who eagerly wait to hear from their children and grand children. Helpage India, as everyone knows, is a secular, not for profit organization registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. The organization has been raising resources since 1978 to protect the rights of India‟s elderly. It reaches out to the underprivileged elderly through its various services in areas of financial, health and emotional security. The letter writing competition was open to all the students from class I to X of the school. They were asked to write letters addressed to their grandparents. They poured their emotions on to the paper. 32
We all were delighted to see the students of classes I and II so passionately writing the letters. They literally enjoyed expressing their feelings in their own innocent ways. The efforts of the children were praised by our principal, Dr Nirendra Dwivedi . The best five letters amongst them were chosen under three categories: III to V VI to VIII IX to X The names of the winners are as follows: Category A (III to V) Rishabh Krishna Singh VB I Prize Tanvi Srivastava IVA II Prize Shagun Tiwari VB III Prize Mihir Singh VA Consolation Prize Aparna Singh IV A Consolation Prize CATEGORY B (VI TO VIII) Akshat Bharadwaj VII B I Prize Shruti Agarwal VIII A II Prize Shreyashi VIII A III prize Divyangana Sharma VI A Consolation Prize Deepali Singh VII A Consolation Prize Category C ( IX to X) Vaishnavi Srivastava IX C I prize Vandana Verma XB II prize Urvi Dodeja IX A III Prize Meghna Lakhmani XB Consolation Prize Sachita Srivastava X Consolation Prize The winners were given medals and mementos. As Helpage India is dedicated to the cause and care of the elderly people and raise the resources to achieve their mission, our school helped them to raise the funds to contribute to the same. The students of JPS whole heartedly collected resources for the help of the disadvantaged elderly. So much was their enthusiasm in collecting funds that the total amount reached to Rs.58,606. It was all the efforts of the students who were motivated by our principal and teachers for this noble cause. The amount collected by our youngsters were then handed over to the Director (North ) of Helpage India Mr. A.K. Singh in the form of demand draft by our principal in the morning assembly who thanked all the students and teachers through his speech and presented a memento and a certificate of contribution to the school. Our principal Sir and Mr. Singh awarded the top 5 students with max collections, namely Anjali Rajbhar (IV B), Aditya Singh (III A), Harshita Singh (V B), Sai Raj (V B) and Varun Singh (V B) and also honored the class teachers under whose guidance the students of the class made the highest collections. 33
The efforts for helping and caring did not end here. JPS also arranged the medical check-up camp for the grandparents of its students in the school premises on 25th September 2010. The mobile medical unit MMU of Helpage India which provides basic health care to disadvantaged older persons to improve their quality of life, reached to our school along with its senior executive, programs, Mr. PP SINGH and Executive (MMU), MS Mili Chowdhary who were accompanied by 6 well known doctors who were experts in their own fields. Dr Ramchandra Physician and Diabetes Specialist Dr Saurabh Bhaiswal Eye Surgeon Dr Mridugupta Physiotherapist Dr Nandini Nagar Physiotherapist Dr Sumit Anand Dentist Dr Arpita Anand Dentist The Grand Parents of our students attended the camp in good numbers and were benefited by the prescriptions. Our mission was accomplished after seeing the smiles on the faces of the elderly people. We all know that “The smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive it.” Ms Divya Vaish Activity In-charge (Primary Section) 34
INTER HOUSE COMPETITIONS At JPS we believe in the all round development of the child. Moulding a student into a dynamic personality is our ultimate aim. The institution has made sincere efforts to bring the talents of it‟s students to the fore through various co curricular activities. The school grows when it‟s students prosper. In this regard and to enable mass participation of the students in various events the school conducted a number of inter house competitions throughout the session – such as hindi and english debates, extempore, declamations, art and painting, rangoli making, rakhi making, diya decoration, science and computer quizzes, group dances, solo and group singing events etc. Besides, many inter house sports competitions of table-tennis, volley-ball, kho-kho, floor-ball, football etc have also been held. All the students of all the four houses participated in all these competitions with great zeal and enthusiasm. Under the able guidance of their house teachers they tried their best to make the flag of their respective houses fly high in each and every competition. Till today we already have had inter house competitions of Football, Volley Ball, Table Tennis and Floor Ball in Sports activities, Solo Song, Group Song, Solo Dance and Group Dance in Co-curricular activities, Rakhi Making, Rangoli Making, Art, CG Art and Clay Modelling in Crafts and English Debate, Hindi Debate, GK Quiz, Science Quest, Spellathon, English Extempore, Hindi Extempore, English Declamation, Hindi Declamation and English Hand Writing in academics field. Recently we have also introduced the inter house format in the Pre Primary Classes too with a foresight of making the events important and competitive. Even in the primary, middle and senior sections the events are divided into various categories of group of classes so as to provide an even platform to all the participants. These events are judged by the expert teachers or sometimes by the out of school experts who are invited especially for the occasion. The efforts have started showing results as many of our students have recently bagged various positions in many inter school and open events. Neerja Tripathi Activity In-charge (Senior Section) 35
JENESYS & JPS, LUCKNOW From the advent of humanity, man has been collected in certain clusters or clumps, which have defined the cultures and tradition of the people in these areas. A policy of individuality and isolation led to highly different values and thoughts. However, in today‟s world, that policy has been uprooted by the growing trend of globalization, which has spread its wings slowly and surely across all parts of the world. This has lead to an increased interaction among people of diverse societies, which has created bonds of fraternity and friendship among one and all. To maintain a global outlook among its students, J.P.S has introduced Japanese Language periods in classes I to VIII and a Foreign Language society class for Classes IX & X, imparting in its students the ability to communicate in a foreign language. Also, the school is in constant association with JICA and Japan Foundation. In April 2010, Mr. Nao Endo & Ms. Hanoeka (Program Head, JICA) along with other members of the association, visited our school and met the students. However, for one of us, the knowledge earned in these classes was put to a sudden test. I, Utkarsh Tripathi, a student of class IX-b, was the lucky student selected from a huge pool of students from 12 different schoolsof India for JENESYS (Japan East- Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths), an exchange program, in which I visited the magnificent country of Japan. Reaching Tokyo on 22nd June, I kicked off my trip with a local excursion to the Edo Tokyo Museum, where I saw articles dating back to the pre-World War II era. I along with other Indian students then left for Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, on 24th June, where I stayed with a Japanese family for two days. I had a gala time there, learning novel things such as a Japanese folk dance, playing a sansen (a Japanese musical instrument), and sakura-sakura (a Japanese song). I also learnt how to prepare the perfect rice cake, and shared with them my own stock of sohan papdi and laddoos. I was quite fascinated, both with the hi-tech living prevalent there, as well as the blend of modernity and tradition I saw firsthand in Japanese homes and offices. Even with development taking place every day and every minute, I found Japan to be a highly organized city, with proper systems even for tasks such as garbage disposal. To see how my contemporaries studied, I visited the Murasahino High School where I taught the basics of „kabaddi‟ to the students. I had an enjoyable outing in the gion festival, experiencing traditions such as festival floats. I visited the Tokyo Tower, and also saw for myself, the technical and electronic prowess of the Japanese at the TEPIA museum. The ride that I took on the shinleansen (the Bullet Train) was quite an enjoyable experience. Finally, I visited the Indian embassy for the final presentation of his complete trip. I returned to India on 2nd July, completing an incredible week. Utkasrh Tripathi (9 B) 36

Shashwat Singh was appointed as the House Captain, Meghna Lakhmani as the Vice Captain and Harsh Nayak, Urvi Dodeja and Anindya as the Prefects. Our most commendable achievement in this session was when we had the first experience of the taste of victory in Inter-House Floor Ball Competition in which we secured the first position in the boys‟ category. Later, we emerged as winners in the Hindi Debate Competition and G.K. Quiz contests too. This session we had witnessed sterling performances one after another from very dedicated house members as we grabbed the first position in the Rakhi Making and the Rangoli Making Competitions also. The efforts of Neelima Jauhari, Meghna, Anindya, Abhiskhek Pandey, Shivam Dembla, Shatakshi Singh, Shaurya and Swarnima are praiseworthy. In the solo singing competition, Shaurya of class IV-A was awarded the Best Singer. He left the audience spellbound by his magnificent performance and added one more feather in our cap. We also exposed our unparalleled proficiency in other competitions like English Handwriting Competition, English Elocution, Science Quiz, and the Hindi Elocution in which we attained II position. Our students also did well in English Debate and English Extempore, English Declamation, Group Song, Solo Song, Spellathon and Art Competitions. Each success infused enthusiasm and confidence in unlimited proportions and each failure made us more determined to achieve success. I express my sincere gratitude to my house teachers, Mrs. Neerja Tripathi, Mrs. Rashmi Singh, Ms. Kanchan, Ms. Jyoti, Ms. Neelam, Ms. Rizwana, Ms. Roopam 38
