Delhi Public School Srinagar

You lack experience; I am a duffer Just a minute! Just a minute! Before going ahead let you just peer through your body in every aspect be it social, mental, political, or economic aspect. Now point out those areas where you have invested some asset and you are cheated and your net result is nil i.e. equal to zero. My friends, elders, expert officials, colleagues, and who so ever is reading this article, I want to covey to you the in human, in tolerable, in discriminate, illegal, and ultimately the rubbish administration of a very famous school of our city i.e. Delhi public school. “DPS” The name that is buzzing around in the valley of Kashmir. Is it just a name or is their something that gives it that respect. So many people will say that “yes”,It has done a lot to earn that respect, but what about the opinions of the students. Are students happy? That’s a million dollar question? So, let’s frame it like it and tell you all ….”NO” students are not happy. We are not happy –that’s what matters and that’s what counts at the last. DPS has not fulfilled the promises they had made to the students and their parents. They say they have a well maintained and a well developed administration but they are lieing, they are brain washed, they have an ultimate turmoil in their administration .their planning is wrong ,they don’t know how to deal with the students especially the students who are in the adolescent period. Money is everything for them; they can even give up their religion to get money, they can cheat the students and the parents as well, as they are doing it if we will look at the present scenario of dps, which they call as dps family. What a strange family indeed; just laugh at them who are going to deplete the basics of our culture, of our religion, of our language and ultimately they will deprive us from our own heritage. There are some heart breaking facts about DPS. So you would be guessing what really is wrong in DPS---the thing that’s wrong is their responsibility and the mediocre management. Parents have been given counter productive result. .DPS is rising as a name – but a godly apple is rotten at the core. Let’s first have a look of the promises made by the chairman of the school Mr. Vijay Dhar who is the sole responsible of the day to day functioning of the school. On the opening of the school Mr. Dhar said that he and his team members will reduce our fee {as it is Rs.1500 at present} as the will approach to higher classes, but where is the treaty, has it been forgotten? Or it is lost somewhere? Secondly, it was promised to the parents that the all staff for the teaching purpose will be brought from outside, but alas! Where is the agreement, is it lost or some one has tore it off. Shame, shame puppy shame for dps administration block .when they can bring the principal of the school from outside; when they can bring the school administrator and the school gatekeeper{bhadur}from outside ;then what is the problem with the teaching staff. These promises have been

shattered. The dreams have been torn apart – the dreams of students and their parents have been left along the road side with less interest. At the time of admissions at the back of the admission file there was a rough sketch of the different blocks of the school such as long tennis court ,volley ball court ,swimming pool and the indoor stadium but unfortunately it was all fake, the reality goes like this ;by the First year of the school almost the whole school was covered with water then after three years the school built the indoor stadium and the long tennis court and by the end of five years the school has now built the swimming pool and that too for the tiny tots but nothing for the junior and the senior students .let’s look at the equipment store of the school ,blank and banging everywhere ,nothing to play with. In the T.T block they have only ten T.T bats and three T.T tables it means that only ten students out of 3,000 students can play table tennis. It is just horrorus and irritable and thus results in frequent fights between the students. On9th April, 2007 a cross country race was organized but the prizes are still pending.from this point one can guess how much careless, how much greedy, and how much irresponsible is the administration block of Dps, Srinagar which is frail and weak in every field. DPS… had promised a high quality of sports, but in DPS it is just confined to some fifty students who has not been picked up on the right and equal basis. They are having nil searches in the school so that they can choose the best ones available. They are thinking that the rest are a liability on the school but they don’t know they are more than assets. There is not proper management in the field of sports –its absurd management from head to toe. Their management and their responsibility are the two sides of the same coin --- and the whole coin has tarnished. They library in the school is another serious problem. The library in the school is really of the high standard, but what the hell we have to do to these books if they are not allowing us to read it. Moreover we have to get application from our parents to read certain books, we can have a laugh at that! The most important thing to note is the comment from the chairperson of the school Mr. Vijay dhar, when the students of class 9th‘d’ told sir about the location of the swimming pool. The students told the sir {Mr. Vijay Dhar} that the sound of the water is disturbing them a lot and especially during the science, math’s and computer classes, it is very difficult to understand and hear, what the teacher is saying at the front but instead of solving the problem and making it easier for the students to listen to the lectures of the teachers, the sir in return told them that the “sound of the water is beautiful” and it will not affect your studies. School has been able to put a good quality education to the students but are we paying huge sums just for quality education, ”NO” we are

not, we are paying that huge amount for our personality development, to get those fields in which we can excel. IS education just confined to books only---come on guys --- the books are not everything, the world is waiting for us. We are “the ones” who have to run this world tomorrow. So are only books going to help us---no way---, if yes then you need to take some meds. Dps should have paid more attention on letting students explore their studies. They have not taken us to educational tours---that’s absurd--that is a shame on the name of DPS---really a shame. We have not been taken to camp,(except the one of the first year of the school, to gain trust of the people), which is an important part of learning about the nature by exploring it. The main reason behind is the lack of management and responsibility. They are afraid of being caught responsible for certain things. The school has a multimedia lab but god knows the purpose of that lab. The information collected from the students says that the lab is having the internet facility but it is rarely allowed to use. The printer is in the lab but not for the students who are paying for that. The extent is that much that on offering the mid day prayers i.e. the zahur prayers the students were taken out from the classrooms and were dragged to the corridors but on asking what was the matter with it principal of school told the students that offering the prayers will disturb the environment of the school but the credit goes to the students of DPS that after being dragged out from the classroom, they accepted offering the prayers in the corridors. The students are innocent, gentle, lovers of their religion but the administration block is really harsh and unbearable. So WE can assure you DPS is just a name—come out of the buzzing world and you would be shell shocked to know the harsh reality of D.P.S...I would like to conclude by saying that parents of teenagers must keep a regular and hidden check on the activities of their respective wards, for the better development of their child.
