India-an amalgamation of several cultures-has had a profound impact across the world.

India is the cradle of one of the earliest civilization of the world - The Indus Valley Civilization. Our culture has been a powerful, all absorbing and all embracing process. In the past, it has received, adapted and digested elements of many different cultures—Indo-European, Iranian, Greek, Roman, Scythian, Turkish, Persian and Arab. India has been a crucible of various 'races' and ethnic groups. They all have contributed to the making of Indian history and culture. The people from other cultures and civilizations have brought with them their own traditions which got intermixed and integrated with the pre-existing traditions. With each new influence, it has somewhat changed; but it has retained its continuity. India has never lost the pride of her cultural sublimity.

The students spend two weeks of their summer vacation with the family allotted to them. This experience is very unique, leaving behind their own family in India and trying to establish themselves as a family member in an absolutely new family environment. The students not only struggle to get know to each member of the family but also adjust with their food habits and lifestyle. They learn to be more organized and punctual.

This achievement has made the school proud.

These Exchanges give the young learners not only a deep insight into the German culture, tradition and their lifestyle but also provide a firsthand experience .This changes their perspectives about life, make them independent and finally also improves their German language speaking skills to a great extent.

The students with their counterpart also developed new art forms, raised funds for poor people, got to know new techniques of learning and so on… based on the project works taken up each year. The students with different mindset, background learn to understand each other’s viewpoint ,bridge these gaps , exchange ideas and work hard to achieve the goals.

They also work together to make the Indo German evening a memorable event, which is celebrated as mark of tribute to the amalgamation of Indian and German mores. It is a magnificent sight to experience two extremely vivid cultures under one roof and laying out their respective cuisines and dancing off on their favorite number.

This Exchange platform is a blessing and opens many avenues in future for the young learners.

It’s a dream project and joint efforts of both the schools, which in these years have turned out to be a strong friendship .The idea of shaking hands with different culture and exchanging traditions is very much appreciated in today’s world of globalization and helps in strengthening bonds.

About the Planetarium

The Nehru Planetarium in New Delhi is situated in the green surroundings of the Teen Murti House, earlier the official residence of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru and now a museum in his memory.

The students of class VI were taken to Nehru planetarium and museum along with their respective class teachers. The total strength of approx 345 students was divided into two groups. The first group classes VI A,B,C,D were taken on 29/04/2015 , there were 175 students in the first group and the second group of classes VI E,F,G,H were taken on 30/04/2015.

The topic involving the appearance of the sky that can be viewed in three dimensions. Text and chalkboard diagrams cannot reproduce the omnidirectional perspective of the planetarium. Classroom models normally present an outside - earth perspective, while the planetarium recreates the from - earth perspective.
The sky may be viewed comfortably with no interference from bad weather.
The sky may be viewed comfortably with no interference from bad weather.
Students do not need to wait half a day or more after receiving teacher directions for night-sky observations before viewing night-sky phenomena. Students immediately respond to directions, and there is far less chance of forgetting or misremembering.
Sky motions can be illustrated, with entire cycles compressed to intervals which permit students to determine that they are periodic.
Many children in cities grow up unaware of most aspects of the sky, because light pollution washes out the stars and planets. The planetarium can show the Milky Way and other sky bodies in simulated darkness.
Auxiliary effects (e.g. slides, audio aids) can contribute to the realism and promote an aesthetic (peak) experience in the planetarium.
The planetarium can motivate students with its interesting, stimulating learning situation. Surveys have shown that students like astronomy more than other sciences, and the stimulating environment can build on initial interest and help it develop into a lifelong interest.

After the sky show the students were also taken to Nehru museum where they could get a picture of Jawaharlal Nehru’s life.

After the visit the students had to make a report on their visit.

The day started off with the tikka ceremony where the class teachers of Class XII wished their students the best for their future ahead. The students also received a souvenir, in the form of an imaginative plan of the school premises, as seen through the eye of student artists SejalSethi and PrakritiAnand. This was followed by the cultural programme, which began with a choir. The Principal, Shri M I Hussain then addressed the gathering; in his address, he wished the students luck, blessing them with inner strength and courage to face the many trials and tribulations of life ahead. Then came the much awaited first round of titles.This was followed by a musical performance by class XI students which had a magical impact on the audience.The second round of titles brought in a lot of light hearted fun and laughter. Students of class XI then danced to a medley of songs with school life as its theme. The final round of titles was a box full of surprises for many. The last performance of the day was the teachers' dance which elicited a huge round of applause. The Parent Representative, Mr. Jindal then gave a speech next, laying emphasis on the fact that these students weren't just from any school, they were "dipsites", and the inevitability of nostalgia. The Head Boy, JibraanMansoor and Head Girl, Oorja Seth spoke to the teachers and students present. Grateful , nostalgic and warm were the thoughts of both and truly representative of each young mind in the audience.The fading afternoon sun saw the outgoing twelfth dance to the beats of the DJ and feast on scrumptious food. Emotions soared high this day; tears of both melancholy and joy were cried. One was reminded of the wonders of the ending of an era of fourteen long years.Delhi Public School Mathura Road is all set to astound the audience by taking part in the annual Hindi event, ‘Bhakti Dhara’ held at Delhi Public School, R.K.

Higher Education and Career Guidance report 2013-2014

Report on Career Guidance and Counselling

We, at DPSMR not only aim at preparing students academically but also in guiding them towards a rewarding and satisfying career. It is imperative for students to identify their aptitudes, interests, career goals and aspirations in order to make DPSMR well-informed decisions regarding their higher education. To help students in this task, DPSMR has commissioned student counselor, Ms. Astha Mahajan along with Ms. Mahuya Mandai (Coordinator XI-XII) and Ms. Manju Mehra (Academic Coordinator) (who are a part of the school's Faculty) for the sole purpose of guiding and counseling students for higher studies. Students are counseled on:

Career options
Finalizing on course and country where the student wants to and can study
International colleges study options (USA, UK, Canada, Singapore and other popular destinations)
Guidance on preparation of the tests
Timelines & deadlines
Finalization of Colleges to apply to and creation of backup options
How to choose between final options - Admission
Scholarships & funding options

To help us in this process of higher education planning for our students, DPSMR has partnered with Univariety - a Singapore based organization that mentors students and ensures that they have multiple higher study options (both domestic and international) to choose from. Univariety provides a support system to the school counselor to manage all the senior students in a systematic manner. Additionally, our students and their parents will have the option of interacting with the team of experts at Univariety through an online system linked to our school's website.

With support from Univariety, we have launched the higher education support system in the academic year 2014-23. Sessions were organized wherein the students were guided on how to use the online support system, create a profile, ask queries and interact with the school counselor along with the Univariety team. Each year, the school will guide every new batch of students on how to effectively take help and utilize the offering.

INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS

International Education is today the synonym of globalization. In today’s fast changing corporate world, International Education has become a necessity rather than a luxury. Therefore, we have introduced “An Overseas Education Career Guidance and Counselling Cell” with in depth knowledge about international education, guiding students and their parents in applying to foreign universities from the application procedure to their placements in top universities around the globe. We would like our students to utilize this opportunity to excel and get selected in the top universities in U.S.A, U.K., Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, Australia etc. and become Global Leaders.

Also, we have not only included all the information regarding International Education and about SAT Exam in the School Almanac but also conducted various Seminars on International Education. The first one was held on 7^th August 2013 where interested students from class 11th and 12th attended the interactive sessions by experts from Mnemonic Education Pvt. Ltd. Mr. Shirish Gupta, Founder/Director of Mnemonics gave a presentation on Preparing for SAT and the various deadlines to apply on Universities of U.S.A. He also shared various Mnemonic Techniques such as associating an image with a Word for enhancing Vocabulary and Tricky ways to solve Mathematical Questions with students which were found interesting by all. He emphasized on the fact that only the top scorers on SAT or School Academic Exam get admission into top universities. At the university admission level it is the passion and overall personality of the students that is counted. Plus the awareness in terms of the selection of the university and course is also important. The second session was conducted by experts from The Chopra’s who gave knowledge on other competitive exams to apply to various universities abroad.

The second seminar for class 11^th & 12^th interested students was organized on 13^th August 2013 by The Princetom Review Pvt Ltd who are pioneers in giving coaching for SAT and guidance for Foreign Education and Collegeboard the actual administrator of SAT Exam Online. A representative from collegeboard Ms. Lisa Jain enlightened the students on The Advance Placement Exams and Courses organized by the college board as important for entering the top universities such as the Ivy Leagues in U.S.A. A representative from Princeton Review gave more knowledge on SAT and the National SAT Olympiad (NSO) being conducted by them on 25th August 2013. Approximately 100 students have registered for the Olympiad and there is no registration fee for the same. This Olympiad can be beneficial as a Mock Practice for SAT Exam as well as to give a good idea to students about the type of questions that come in SAT Exams. Students from the Boarding house also requested to attend the same and if feasible to organize SAT Classes within school as they can’t leave the campus and go for such preparatory classes like the day scholars. Overall these sessions proved to be helpful in generating lot of awareness amongst students as well as motivating them to look for higher studies options abroad in top universities for global knowledge and skills to compete in the professional world.

On 21^st August 2013 various delegates from universities abroad such as University of Minnesota, University of Nebraska, California State University, University of Denver, Salve Regina University etc. visited our school campus and addressed the students of class 12th on information related to their universities and their admission criteria.

The CBSE Aavishkar Quiz Series for the month of December 2015 was conducted by D.P.S. Mathura Road on 22nd December 2015. The theme SPACE proved to be an interesting one. The preliminary round was conducted on 18th December in which more than 300 participants showed their enthusiasm in both quiz and space. The next level was conducted in different sessions for classes VI-VIII and IX-XI each having four teams. The first and third rounds were based on conceptual learning from video clips of various science fiction movies and the second round was a rapid fire round in which students eagerly recognised the prominent scientists from their photographs. The quiz was successfully coordinated by Ms. Niti Arora, In-charge (G.K.) and Mr. Sudhakar Kaushik (Dept. of Physics). The quiz involved both gaining and sharing of knowledge reminding us that gaining knowledge is the first step towards humanity, sharing it is the first step towards wisdom.
