The whole enterprise of education is extricably linked with the development of values.Devoid of the potential to nurture values, education loses its heart and soul.

Recreational Games.
A day well spent

Glimpses Of Solo Dance Competition
Global warming, storms, hurricanes , bush fires are all ominous warnings that we need to look after our planet . One way of doing this is to decrease the carbon footprint by planting more trees.
We at DPS Khanna have a tradition where a child plants a tree on his/ her birthday.
Today,the Hon’ble Vice Chairperson Ms.Annu Bains set an example by planting a sapling on her birthday, urging the students,staff and the parents alike to participate by planting trees in their homes,neighborhoods, villages to be a part of this movement.
Planting a sapling on your Birthday is like leaving something memorable and tangible in your school campus.Taking this noble cause of a ‘Green Earth’ one notch forward,DPS Khanna is also planting trees in the three adjacent villages to improve the environment and decrease the effects of industrialization.
We ,urge and make an earnest appeal to make this ‘birthday plantation initiative’ of DPS Khanna a fruitful one.
On this birthday make a difference ,plant a birthday tree.
