Principal, D A V Centenary Public School, Amlohri, NCL Project

It is my privilege to serve as the Principal of D A V Centenary Public School, Amlohri, a beacon of holistic education under the NCL Project. Having devoted over two decades to this noble profession, I believe a school is not merely a place of academic instruction—it is a sanctuary where human values are nurtured, and the moral and spiritual development of children is prioritized.

At D A V Public Schools, we foster a healthy and joyful atmosphere where children are encouraged to grow freely. We believe that “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” — William Butler Yeats. Our mission is to instill social, sacramental, and traditional values in every student, while embracing modern pedagogies that prepare them for the future.

Our school is a harmonious blend of dedicated mentors, state-of-the-art infrastructure, a serene setting, and robust security—providing ample opportunities for the overall development of every child. We recognize that childhood is a time for exploration, mistakes, and learning. With patience, love, and care, we guide our students through this journey.

As the founding teacher of this institution, I have cultivated a work culture based on the “3Fs” philosophy: Fearlessness, Friendliness, and Fairness. I believe in “Work is not punishment; it is a reward, strength, and purpose.” — Theodore Roosevelt. Our focus is on imparting cognitive knowledge that ignites a passion for learning. Education, to us, is not about rote memorization—it is about developing practical skills, critical thinking, and the ability to adapt to unfamiliar situations. We prepare our students not just for exams, but for lifelong success.

The importance of education cannot be overstated. It shapes individuals during their formative years. As Nelson Mandela said:

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Through this noble journey, I have learned:

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill

And finally, my guiding motto remains:

“Effort is yours, outcome is destiny.”
