The Hindi skit also gained popularity titled- “Natak Jo Pura
na ho Saka”. The students presented Punjabi folk dance
Bhangra and Gidda. The Chief Guest, Dr. Jaspal Singh
speaking on the occasion said that education should be
able to create a generation which is able to invent or discover
new things in future. Elaborating further he said instead of
repeating what had happened in the past, the purpose of
education should be to create people who have vision and
wisdom. He was of the view that with the advent of vast
number of equipment available, it was easy to acquire any
information but the need was to transform that information
into knowledge and ultimately into wisdom so that students
can have a bright future.

He further added that students should have
curiosity for knowing what one does not know
and process should start at an early age and
carry on lifelong. The Chief Guest also
highlighted the importance of religion in one’s
life stressed on the point that whatever the
community possessed was just the extension
of what Guru Nanak preached or did during his
lifetime. “Guru Nanak Devji preached about
oneness of God which still exists in the Guru
Granth Sahib but people have forgotten these
preaching thus leading to misery”. Dr. Jaspal
Singh also emphasized that the school should
take lead in promoting preachings of Guru
Nanak and especially in context of his
“Udasis” (Travels of Guru Nanak) as the
message of Universal Brotherhood- the need
of the hour.
