From the Principal’s Desk
DAV Public School, Sector-16, Rourkela
Dear Students, Parents, and Well-wishers,
नास्ति मूर्खसमो व्याधिः न च विद्या समं औषधम्।
Nāsti Mūrkha-samo Vyādhih, Na cha Vidyā-samam Ausadham
“There is no greater disease than ignorance, and no greater medicine than knowledge.”
These timeless words from ancient Sanskrit scriptures reaffirm us that knowledge is not just a catalyst for academic success, but the ultimate cure for the shadows of unawareness. At DAV Public School, Sector-16, Rourkela, it is our constant endeavor to fostering not only young intellects but also empathetic souls — individuals who will shape the future with wisdom, values, and vision.
Our journey is rooted in the DAV ideology, where Vedic principles fuse seamlessly with modern education. We strive to create an environment where each child is encouraged to explore, question, and flourish — intellectually, emotionally, and morally. True education, after all, is not encapsulated to books and exams; it lies in forming character, amplifying resolve, and igniting the ability to discern right from wrong.
We believe in partnering with parents and the wider community to foster a culture of excellence and integrity. Together, let us empower our children with the ‘ausadh’ — the medicine of knowledge — so they grow into responsible, enlightened citizens of the nation and the world.
Thank you for being a part of our extended DAV family. Let us continue sharing this journey on this path of learning, discovery, and transformation.
With warm regards,
Shri Rajesh Dash
Principal
DAV Public School, Sector-16, Rourkela
