Independence Day Celebration

Daffodils English School Association has always believed in instilling a deep sense of patriot-
ism in students by observing national festivals with ardent fervour. The Independence Day was
celebrated at the school with the same enthusiasm and excitement as displayed before. The pan-
demic did not change this much.

The event began with the Chief Guest Sri Shankar Subramanian, unfurling the tricolour flag
and singing of the National Anthem in unison. He expressed his feelings about education, na-
tion building and character building. The guest of honour Retd Lt. Colo-
nel Govind Prasad voiced his feelings about welfare of the country and role of a leader in build-
ing the nation.

DESA came together to present a colourful show with speeches, songs, dances and a role play
by the enthusiastic students. The programme culminated with the vote of thanks.

On this occasion Daffodils Foundation for Learning relaunched its Website. The entire event
was telecasted via school’s you tube channel on 15th of August. Indeed, it was a day of joy, a
day to reaffirm our love and respect for our motherland.

Jai Hind.

Investiture Ceremony – A Report

“Integrity, insight and inclusiveness are the three essential qualities of leadership.” - Sadguru

The investiture ceremony is a proud moment for any school where the reigning school council
members make way for the new members with open arms. Investiture means formally investing
authority, power, right, office and dignity in a person. The ceremony signifies the trust and con-
fidence the school reposes in the newly invested office bearers, year after year. In these chal-
lenging times, this ceremony was held on a virtual platform which is yet another milestone
reached by Daffodils Foundation for Learning.
The virtual investiture for the year 2021-22 was anchored by
the Senior Academic Coordinator of the school, Mrs. Triveni Raghvendra. The opening of the
investiture ceremony was marked by invoking the blessing of the almighty which was followed
by the welcome address by the Vice Principal, Mrs. Pratibha V Rao. It was informed that the
house mistresses of the previous year shall continue in their respective posts for the year 2021-
22 as well. On behalf of the outgoing student council, the Head Boy Jhenkar Rajesh handed
over the duties and responsibilities to the newly appointed student council members.

The CCA coordinator Mrs. Ramya Rao introduced the newly appointed office bearers followed
by the introduction of the discipline squad members done by the sports coordina-
tor Mr. Srihari Utagi. The newly appointed Head Boy Aniruda Suswaram on behalf of the new
student council members took over the mantel from the out going student council.
The Principal Dr. Sujatha Girish expressed her appreciation for the outgoing student coun-
cil. She congratulated the newly appointed office bearers and their willingness to take up the
responsibilities entrusted to them. The oath was administered to the newly selected council

by the dignitaries, teachers and students. The vote of thanks was rendered by Mrs. Veena.

ambassadors to uphold the indomitable spirit of the
school and discharge their duties with utmost dignity
and pride while taking everyone along in
their journey.

Republic Day Celebration

“The nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of the people.” -Mahatma Gandhi

Daffodils English School Association celebrated the 73rd Republic Day with immense patriotic
fervour and zeal. To mark this special day, the school had planned a plethora of cultural pro-
grammes to infuse the spirit of unity, brotherhood and patriotism among the students.
Our school has been following a unique tradition of choosing the Chief Guest and the Guest of
Honour on this occasion. The academic toppers of the school are invited to grace the occasion,

Joy of Sharing

“Happiness is not so much in having as in sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we
make a life by what we give.” - Norman Macewan

Joy of Sharing is one of the unique events of DFL that sets it apart as an institution that envi-
sions holistic development of students. It gives an opportunity for the children to do some-
thing that makes a difference in the lives of others, and experience the satisfaction and joy
that comes with it.

Joy of Sharing is traditionally organized to coincide with the birth anniversary of our Founder
and Mentor, (Late) Sri P K Bheemaiah. This year was no different, but it was conceptualized
and celebrated virtually and in a novel and creative way. It included sharing the excitement of
watching a beautiful cultural programme and the joy of learning how to look after our dear
‘Planet Earth’ a little better.
DFL’s flagship CCA event, Kalasangam, had brought to the fore, many fresh and talent-
ed artists. A collection of various performances by some of these budding youngsters was
made into a video. The link was shared with the children of Jana Seva Samiti, an orphanage in
the city, to bring smiles on their faces. ‘Sharing smiles brings a divine joy’, is a lesson our
children learnt through this initiative.
Restoration of the eco-system and maintenance of the ecological balance is everyone’s re-
sponsibility. To enable the children to understand and appreciate their role in this was
born the Swasth Bhoomi’ Project, another face of the ‘Joy of Sharing. With the active in-
volvement and support of Mr.Santosh Sutar, a renowned environmentalist, a list of
things, that could be done in the safety of their homes and would make an impact on the envi-
ronment in the long run, was sent to the students. A video about the ‘Cool the Globe’ App
that would help to measure the impact of such activities on the environment was also shared.
The children willingly involved themselves in interesting eco-friendly activities and mailed
the videos to the school. Again, a conglomeration of this individual resourcefulness was
shared via a link with the children of Jana Seva Samiti. This definitely had the power to make
them feel good and help them remember the content for a long time to come.
This initiative has also helped the DFL students to become more responsible because they
know that they are now the role-models for other children who may be admiring them for
their work and emulating their deeds.

“Give me a child and I’ll shape him into anything.” -B.F.Skinner

DFL takes pride in the fact that children are
not only taught life skills and values, but are
also given opportunities to put them into
practice. With such a comprehensive
approach to education, our students could
definitely be expected to bloom into respon-
sible, empathetic adults. Kudos to Team
DFL!

No Bag Day

Sports are an essential part of any student's life. With the covid-19 pandemic, students were
locked in their homes since march of 2020. Some much-needed play time with our friends was
gifted to us by our principal, Dr Sujatha Girish when a ‘No Bag Day’ was proposed.
On the day of 8th February 2022, students of the discipline squad and student council
assembled at the school ground at 7:20 am and the preparations began. The ground was
marked with the help of our P.E instructors, Mr Srihari and Mrs Vidhu. the ground was then
watered twice by the students and marking was finished by 7:50 am. Chairs and desks for the
score keepers were brought in as students started to arrive for the action-packed day where
they would take part in Kho-Kho, dodge ball and tug of war. An air of positivity filled the
ground and students were in a very happy mood.

After the ground was ready and the markings done, the students of each section decided their
team for the Kho-Kho match. Multiple matches were played to decide the winners. All stu-
dents participated enthusiastically and displayed true team spirit on the field. The winners of
the Kho-Kho match were grade 10 ‘C’ followed by grade 10 ‘B’ and 10 ‘A’ who won the 2nd
and 3rd place respectively. After the match, we were given a small break to relax and rejuve-
nate ourselves before the next game started. The next game was a section-wise thrilling Dodge
Ball. This game tested our presence of mind and the ability to dodge the ball quickly. We were
also joined by teachers in this game. Multiple matches were played between the sections and
the result was a tie between all three sections. We still had an hour left before we could call it
a day. So, the students requested the PE teachers for a tug-of-war match. When they agreed,
we started the arrangements for it. We brought the rope from the sports room and set the field
for the match. First, it was a match between the girls of the three sections followed by the
boys. We had a great time together strategizing on how to handle the rope and pull with com-
plete strength.

The girls of grade 10 ‘A’ and the boys of 10 ‘A’ and 10 ‘B’ together emerged victorious.
After the tug-of-war match, it was 1 pm in the afternoon and it was time to disperse. All
students assembled together and thanked the teachers for organizing a wonderful event.
The popular proverb, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy” by Stanley Kubrick,
emphasizes the importance of having a balanced life and taking breaks before reaching the
saturation point. Therefore, we, Mythri Shankar and Aniruda Suswaram, the Head Girl and
Head Boy of Daffodils Foundation for Learning, on behalf of all our friends, thank our be-
loved Principal Dr Sujatha Girish, Vice Principal Mrs Prathibha V, Senior Academic Coordi-
nator Mrs Triveni V, CCA Coordinator Mrs Ramya, teachers and the Physical education
department Mr Srihari and Mrs Vidhu. It was an unforgettable experience and we enjoyed the
day.

My Country, My Pride

“I have always believed that cowards never make history; history is created by people with
courage and wisdom.” – A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Keeping in mind the glorious 75 years of independence of progressive India and the glorious
history of its people, culture and achievements, the Government of India has planned a series
of events throughout the year calling it ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’. Celebrating this Ma-
hotsav, and as per the CBSE directive, Daffodils Foundation for Learning organized a CCA
competition, ‘My Country, My Pride’ which was conducted on the virtual platform between
19 January and 21 January 2022. Students had to research the life of any one of our freedom
fighters, dress up like them, prepare a speech and connect themselves with the personality.
Students of Grades 1 to 5 followed the theme ‘I am the proud son/daughter of my
motherland’.
Students of Grades 6 to 8 followed the theme ‘I salute the freedom fighter, ____________’.
Students of Grades 9 and 10 followed the theme ‘I walk in your footsteps’.
These activities provided an opportunity for all the students to showcase their talents of
acting as well as public speaking. Through this activity, the students learnt about the lives of
various freedom fighters of India, the most famous freedom fighters like Mahatama Gandhi,
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey and so on and the lesser-known
freedom fighters like Bhikaji Cama, Velu Nachiyar, Khudiram Bose and Matangini Hazra.
The intention behind conducting the activity was to enhance the feeling of patriotism and
their love and respect for the nation. This was a great way for the children to remember their
country’s freedom fighters and respect and salute them for their unmatchable sacrifices.

ented students and the teachers; all the costumes, the script for the role play, all were planned

in a very meticulous way.

Innovators @ DFL ‘Imagine’d…

Path breaking ideas emerge when curious minds are curated and collaborated. Educational institutes
in India and world - wide have turned out some of the most notable revolutionary inventions. To
encourage increased innovation at schools Microsoft Inc provided a global competitive platform
called ‘Imagine Cup Junior’ (ICJ) for students aged 13-18 to propose novel ideas on using cutting
edge AI technology towards bringing positive changes in the world.

Daffodils Foundation for Learning, Bangalore had
registered a team of five tech-innovative learners in Decem-
ber 2020 to participate in ICJ 21. The team, mentored by
teachers, stumbled upon many unique ideas to use AI in var-
ied domains and finally focused on a profound problem state-
ment related to the healthcare vertical.
They proposed an AI-powered, bio-resistive graphene sensor for real-time amniotic fluid monitoring
in pregnant women, supporting those who do not have regular or easy access to healthcare. They
called themselves, rightfully, ‘Sense and Save’ to suit their main idea and were triumphant in making
a global mark. They were declared one of the top ten winners on 10 June 2021, in an international
event hosted by Microsoft Inc.
The task of visualizing and proposing a unique idea to mitigate an impacting problem statement
while sustainably leveraging it with AI tools is by no means easy; not for high schoolers! They have a
success story to tell here…
