From Dundlod to Nepal and Bhutan, the message resonated: Dundlod Public School is excellent.
Dundlod, February 1: Dundlod Public School’s annual function, “Arunima-2026,” was celebrated with great pomp and show on Sunday. The chief guest at the event was Nepal’s first elected Vice President, Justice Parmanand Jha. Among the special guests were former Bhutanese Central Minister Loknath Sharma and former Japanese Ambassador Dr. Bishnu Hari Nepal. Addressing the gathering on the occasion, Justice Parmanand Jha said that Indian education has always been at the top. Recalling his student days, he said that when he was studying, there was a lack of quality education in Nepal, so he came to India for higher education. But seeing the annual function of Dundlod Public School today, it seems that nothing has changed. Even today, education in India, and especially in Shekhawati, Rajasthan, is at the top. On this occasion, he called for the all-round development of students in schools and said that he was happy that Dundlod Public School is among those schools that focus on holistic development. Earlier, the guests lit a lamp in front of the image of Goddess Saraswati. More than 1200 students of the school presented various cultural performances, bringing Indian culture to life on the stage of Arunima-2026. Present on the occasion were President of the Social Equality Forum Kuldeep Sharma, former Vice Chairman of Nawalgarh Municipality Kailash Chotia, educationist Mahavir Hooda, Chairman of Dundlod Public School Education Group S.S. Ranwa, Vice Chairman R.K. Ranwa, Secretary B.L. Ranwa, members Rahul Ranwa, Aniket Ranwa, Subhash Chandra, Principal of Soyla School Dr. Gyanprakash, and Principal of Dundlod School Dhananjay Lal, among others. Earlier, the guests were welcomed in a traditional Rajasthani style upon their arrival at the school. The guests also appreciated the art and craft exhibition put up by the students.
India should lead the Asian Century – Bishnu Hari
Former Japanese Ambassador Dr. Bishnu Hari Nepal said on this occasion that there is a bond of thought, reflection, and shared meals between India, Bhutan, and Nepal that has remained unbroken for years. He said that the Asian Century is now necessary, and therefore all Asian countries must unite. Furthermore, the Asian Century should begin in South Asia, and its leadership should be taken by India, the most powerful country in South Asia. He expressed his desire for a Nepal Hindu University to be established in Nepal, similar to Banaras Hindu University. He said that young people need to come forward for this. Referring to the Janakpur incident in Nepal, he said that the youth of Nepal changed everything in just 27 hours. This is the power of the youth.
Qualified and Educated, Both Are Needed – Sharma
Addressing the program, former Bhutanese Central Minister Loknath Sharma said that today we need young people who are not only qualified but also educated. He said that feelings are gradually disappearing. Even the love between father and son is being measured in terms of money, which is not right. This is happening because we are prioritizing materialism over spirituality. He said that Bhutan may not have wealth, but we are rich in heart. Sharma invited everyone to visit Bhutan and said that while they may not have five-star accommodations, they offer a welcome that surpasses even seven-star hospitality.
Keeping Pace with the Times and Staying Ahead – B.L. Ranwa
At this event, the school’s secretary and renowned motivational speaker, B.L. Ranwa, addressed the students and parents, stating that the school is keeping pace with the times and working with a forward-thinking approach. This is why the school has introduced subjects like AI from the sixth grade onwards. He said that we should not limit our thinking to just doctors and engineers. Parents are not allowing their children to follow their hearts by advising them to become doctors or engineers. In reality, only two percent of children become doctors and engineers. And even those who do become doctors and engineers often end up working for others. Referring to all developed countries, he said that all developed nations of the world have progressed not through the service sector, but through their own businesses. We should encourage our children in every field. Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a lion, he said that the decisions he is taking are being made with our collective strength. The country is moving towards becoming a developed nation. In such a scenario, there are many opportunities for the youth to contribute. At this event, he also commented on the five-day work week, saying that those who are advocating for a five-day week should quit their jobs and stay home. Because we only have 20 years to build a developed India. In these 20 years, we will have to work day and night. Only then will we be able to fulfill the dream of a developed India. On this occasion, School Secretary Ranwa expressed his condolences on the demise of the school’s music teacher, Sharif. He also announced that the school management has decided that there will be no holiday at the school upon the death of any school member.
Demand raised for opening DPS branches in Bhutan and Nepal
During the event, guests from Bhutan and Nepal publicly requested that Dundlod Public School (DPS) open branches in both countries. The guests said they would not only provide assistance themselves but would also make every effort to secure support from their respective governments if needed. They stated that the quality of education provided by DPS Dundlod is so excellent that it should not be limited to just the state but should reach an international level. Responding from the stage, DPS school secretary B.L. Ranwa said that they would make every possible effort to establish school branches in both countries.
