Recently we have celebrated 74th Founder’s day of our school and the 100th birth anniversary of our founder Lt. HH Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia. We admire her as a majestic queen, a compassionate and selfless mother, a social reformer , a prominent political personality and an epitome of love and sacrifice. By showing her life journey through the board display and power point presentation, the students paid true tribute to our founder.
In a couple of days, we are going to celebrate Diwali. Being one of the main festivals of our country, we celebrate it with great joy and enthusiasm. Lights, sweets , celebration, family and friends….these are the words that come to our mind when we think of Diwali. But people have made it a custom to burst crackers. During festive season the air pollution seemed to be spiked to uncontrollable levels.Bursting crackers release harmful gases like carbon monoxide into the surrounding that causes damage to the ozone layer and pollute the environment. We send tons of toxic smoke into the already polluted environment. We should be aware that if the pollution rate keeps on increasing at this rate , severe health problems will occur.So it is the need of the hour to celebrate a pollution free Diwali.
We should have to replace crackers with some non or less polluting alternatives. Recently the scientists of CSIR-NEERI have developed Green Fire Crackers which are environmental-friendly as they are not made with deadly chemicals. Green fire crackers can reduce the pollution by 30%.This will be an initiative for our conservation of mother earth.
Apart from this, we should use the earthen diyas instead of the electric lights. For making rangolis , use organic colours over the chemical ones. We can also make rangolis with the flowers and leaves. So, let’s pledge to celebrate a ‘green and clean diwali’ without causing any pollution.This year , let’s make a difference by celebrating Diwali in a ‘Go Green style'.
HAPPY DIWALI !!

World Tsunami Awareness Day
5th November is apparently the world tsunami day.
What is tsunami?
In the dictionary it is defined as noun:
‘a long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance.’
"the loss of human lives from this latest tsunami is staggering" an arrival or occurrence of something in overwhelming quantities or amounts.
"a tsunami of data pours into the CNBC newsroom every minute of every trading day"
The phonetic transcription is /tsuːˈnɑːmi/
The origin is Japanese; late 19th century, from tsu ‘harbour’ + nami ‘wave’.
The scientific definition of Tsunami, (Japanese: “harbour wave”) also called seismic sea wave or tidal wave, catastrophic ocean wave, usually caused by a submarine earthquake, an underwater or coastal landslide, or a volcanic eruption.
In simple words atsunami is a natural disaster which is a series of fast-moving waves in the ocean caused by powerful earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or simply an asteroid or a meteor crash inside the ocean. A tsunami has a very long wavelength. It can be hundreds of kilometers long. Usually, a tsunami starts suddenly. It is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. This sudden motion could be an earthquake, a powerful volcanic eruption, or an underwater landslide. ... Tsunamis travel across the open ocean at great speeds and build into large deadly waves in the shallow water of a shoreline. The four main causes are as follows:
(i) Undersea earthquakes:
(ii) Landslides:
(iii) Volcanic Eruptions:
(iv) Meteorites and Asteroids:
The biggest tsunami is with a record run-up height of 1720 feet that occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska. On the night of July 9, 1958, an earthquake along the Fairweather Fault in the Alaska Panhandle loosened about 40 million cubic yards (30.6 million cubic meters) of rock high above the northeastern shore of Lituya Bay.
Can you stop a tsunami?
The pressure of deep-ocean sound waves could be used to stop tsunamis in their tracks, researchers have found, by dissipating their energy across wider areas and reducing the height and speed of these monster waves before they reach land.

Now that the holidays are over, there is no time to waste and concentration on studies should be the most because the time of evaluation will begin. So every one , pull up your socks, wear your study hat and perform your best.

How to Celebrate Eco-Friendly Diwali
As we all know Diwali is the festival of enthusiasm and rejoice. Children love this festival so much because on this day they get a chance to burnt fire crackers but this all cause a lot of pollution. We should celebrate Diwali peacefully with rituals. Diwali is the festivals of light so we should enlighten candles not houses.
So lets take an oath to celebrate eco friendly Diwali this year and forever.

16th October -World Food Day
This day is celebrated every year across the world on 16th October. It’s an annual celebration in the honor of the founding date of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) launched by the United Nations in the year 1945.
World food day is celebrated widely with great enthusiasm by several other organizations which are concerned with food security such as the International fund for Agricultural development, World Food Program (WFP) and others. Now, it is also considered as Food Engineers ‘ Day.
India is a vast country with diverse culture and tradition. The tradition varies from state to state and different festivals are celebrated in different styles in each states but food is the common element at every celebration. Varieties of food items get prepared, eaten and distributed amongst the families and friends as rituals. Marriage is also one of the most important occasions for Indians and various food items get prepared and left over gets wasted.
Such families may preserve extra food and distribute the same to the poor and needy ones; this will make a lot of difference as no food would get wasted and hungry may be fed. Private companies and government organizations may run a scheme where a certain percentage of salary get deducted from those employees who voluntarily want to donate for the food bank and such money collected may be utilized at the times of natural calamities, disasters etc.
Since 1981, world food day started adopting different celebration theme each year for highlighting common areas of concerns which needed attention and action. The theme 2018 was : “Our Actions are our future, ending would hunger by 2030 is possible”. Last but not least, enjoy food with happiness! We must always respect the food, we get because it is the blessing of God and love from someone who cares for us.
Happy world Food day to all of you…….
