The outcome was extraordinary, with the Banners and Placards pictorially exhibiting delightful and motivational slogans to promote ‘Blood Donation’. On 3rd November 2014 students of classes 5 and 6 made colourful posters to encourage blood donation. The campaign gained momentum as the very spirited tiny tots of the school took up the cause, formed a human chain and shouted slogans to donate blood.  Students of LKG-UKG formed a human chain in the courtyard of the school whereas students of class I-II did the same in the school playground. Students of classes 3 and 4 marched out of the school to persuade the people of the surrounding areas to donate blood. The drive was taken forward by the students of classes 7 and 8 and Interact Club members on 5th November 2014 in the form of a Rally which motivated people around the school premises to offer their share for the noble cause. A special assembly was also conducted in the school where the health officer of the school Dr. Manju Goswami apprised the students of the importance of blood donation. She also dispelled the myths related to blood donation and its after effects. Students got answers to their queries and were influenced to motivate people to join the drive by donating blood on 6th November 2014 in the school premises. On the same day, the students and the teachers of the school also participated in the ‘Curtain Raiser’ ceremony held as a prelude to the nationwide blood donation drive being organized by DAV College Managing Committee. They were instrumental in making the Curtain Raiser a success by contributing to the decoration of the venue, the welcome of the guests of honour and the arrangement of souvenirs (jute bags and mugs) for the donors.

The final day, 6th November 2014, started with the Hawan ceremony attended by the faculty members of the school. The school saw an overwhelming response and 91 units of blood were collected. The camp started at 8:30 am with the school Principal and teachers leading by example and donating blood. The camp had many people coming for blood donation from parents of students to people around the school premises. The volunteers registered themselves and went through a pre medical examination. The volunteers who could donate blood ensued for the procedure and were then provided with snacks, a mug, a badge and a certificate of appreciation. But what they carried with them was beyond the material appreciation- a fulfillment of being able to contribute to the society.  Throughout the day, there were smiles and laughter all around- a true embodiment of what we believe in- selfless service with a smile.

On this occasion, Shri T.R Gupta ji the Vice President of DAV CMC and Chairman of the school congratulated the school on taking up the noble initiative. He enlightened everyone with his speech on the importance of YOG in our lives and how simple acts can help us to achieve the three YOGS - Gyan Yog, Bhakti Yog and Karma Yog. The students welcomed him with a song and Gurbani. The atmosphere became more divine with the lighting of the lamp done by the dignitary. The camp continued till 4 pm with gratified faces all around.

In this way the faculty members and the students of the school celebrated the auspicious occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti by engaging themselves and people around them in the noble cause.
