"True education is a kind of never-ending story—a matter of continual beginnings, of habitual fresh starts, of persistent newness."
– J.R.R. Tolkien
As the Assistant Regional Officer, DAV, Jalandhar Zone, I take immense pride in coordinating institutions that go beyond conventional learning. Under the visionary stewardship of Padma Shri Awardee Dr. Punam Suri, President, DAV College Managing Committee and the dynamic leadership of Dr. Nisha Peshin, Director (Public Schools & Academics), DAV CMC, we are committed to fostering critical thinking, resilience and ethical leadership. At DAV, education is not merely the acquisition of knowledge—it is a transformative journey that shapes young minds into responsible and enlightened individuals.
The heart of any institution lies in its educators, for they are the architects of young minds. At DAV, we believe that empowered teachers are the cornerstone of transformative education. Through structured training programs, immersive workshops and capacity-building initiatives, our educators are equipped with progressive pedagogical strategies, mentorship skills and leadership acumen. These initiatives foster emotional intelligence, adaptability and student-centric teaching methodologies, ensuring that every teacher not only instructs but also inspires, nurtures and transforms young minds into future leaders.
"Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence."
– Abigail Adams
Academics and sports serve as the twin pillars of holistic education, shaping well-rounded individuals. DAV Centre for Academic Excellence (DAV CAE) ensures that our curriculum remains dynamic and progressive, integrating interactive learning sessions, Olympiads, capacity-building programs and skill-enhancement workshops that equip students with analytical acumen, articulate communication and adept problem-solving abilities. Likewise, DAV Sports instills discipline, teamwork and perseverance reaffirming that both physical and mental agility are indispensable for success. Our institutions are committed to sculpting individuals who embody intellectual brilliance, strength of character and unwavering determination.
Besides, the sacred tradition of Hawan plays an integral role in fostering spiritual consciousness, ethical clarity and inner strength. It instills in students and educators alike a sense of discipline, mindfulness and reverence for universal values, reinforcing the ideals of truth, righteousness and self-discipline.
With the unwavering dedication of our educators and the indomitable spirit of our students, I am confident that DAV will continue to illuminate the path of knowledge, uphold its rich legacy and shape a future anchored in wisdom, integrity and excellence in the region.
