Under the aegis of Seth Pokhar Mal Educational Society
PUBLIC SCHOOL
“There is nothing more precious than a child, and nothing more important to our future than the safety of all our children.”
Schools are considered to be among the safest places in the society for children. Indeed, the statement, “The
school is a child’s second home” has transcended its status from a hopeful notion to a universal belief. It is
the ethical obligation of a school to establish optimum safety measures to ensure that no student feels
physically or psychologically threatened in any manner inside the school premises. Rukmini Devi Public
School, since its inception, has adopted various measures to enhance school's safety and security by
synthesizing the wisdom of experts in the discipline with the latest technological practices. We have
evolved with the times and replaced outdated systems with new state-of-the-art facilities. We understand
that no child will be able to succeed academically if he does not feel safe and hence, have striven to create a
secure and supportive environment in our school.
We care… We nurture… We protect…!!!

Mission Statement (2017 - 2022) “The school will develop a well-knit system to contribute towards Digital India Programme by digitalizing 40% of its processes by 2018 and 60% by 2022 consequently reducing the paper usage and promoting environmental sustainability. The school will contribute toward the clean India mission by organizing frequent cleanliness drives, spreading awareness about hygiene through street plays and other mass awareness programmes."

“From cradle to grave this problem of running order through
chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom,
unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be,
the task of education.” – Henry B. Adams
As I watch the monsoon melt slowly into autumn, I am reminded of a
small but significant quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon: “Seasons
change and so do we. And we must learn to make the most of these.”
We are constantly evolving as a school; we experience a cycle of
renewal each year when we welcome new students to our campus and
bid an emotional farewell to our class XII students. Our school ethos
has also changed with time, adapting itself to the changing demands
of the world, but still rooted to its long-standing tradition of
excellence that it has established over the years.
Our society is presently celebrating, on the one hand, the sudden
explosion of knowledge from internet that embodies the fabric of a
new, more sustainable society, and on the other, the gigantic strides
made in the world of technology, opening the doors to global growth
and prosperity. However, numerous though these advancements
might be, they would still be difficult to access if the future generation
is not equipped with the necessary skills to take advantage of the
opportunities.
This is what Rukmini Devi Public School offers- a rigorous academic
environment that elicits from students the processes of discovery and
creation, and a culture of respect that cherishes the self and the others
as they build together a peaceful, democratic society. Our school, thus
takes pride in a strong sense of community, one in which the students
and the teachers nurture individual personalities and talents to
establish a culture that is safe, positive, caring, and engaging for all.
Our school too seeks to foster such a spirit among the students by
opening multidimensional paths for them to become profound
learners who inspire curiosity, rise to meet the challenges confidently,
and encourage others to reimagine their horizons.Best Wishes
Mrs. Anjali Kotnala(Principal)
“Knowledge is humanistic in quality not because it is about
human products in the past, but because of what it does in
liberating human intelligence and human sympathy.
Education, thus, is not preparation for life; education is life
itself.” – John Dewey
The world has changed enormously since Rukmini Devi Public
School welcomed its first batch of students in 1986, but its vision to
raise individuals adept to take charge of their own destinies remains
as vital now as it was then.
Honoured and privileged as we are to contribute to the society
through the pursuit of education and learning, we are also deeply
immersed in our students’ journey towards self-discovery as they
spend crucial years of their childhood with us honing their
extraordinary talents. We set personalized curricular and co-
curricular targets for our students and work collaboratively with
them and their parents to help them turn their ideas and passions
into something vital and valuable. Consequently, our students get
the best of both worlds: an extensive range of academic
opportunities that challenge their skills coupled with a strong
moral bedrock to allow them to grow into compassionate and
respectful role models for their community. Consequently, in a
world that is slowly falling prey to anxiety, disillusionment and lack
of connection, the Rukminians stand tall and proud, ready to lead
the world.
Best Wishes

Schooling is not an exercise for collecting and memorizing information to ace examinations; it, in fact, involves an accomplishment of an extraordinary bildungsroman in which students with raw curiosities and untapped potentials evolve into good, smart, caring and thoughtful individuals who are also critical thinkers. We recognize quality and excellence in academic and co-curricular spheres to be the two major founding pillars of our institution, and thus strive hard to generate and offer numerous opportunities to our students to maximize their intellectual, moral and social development so that they may experience self-actualization and gain vision and acute finesse to combat vexing social problems of the world. ‘Reflections’, our school's bi-annual newsletter, encapsulates the true essence of our school’s culture by showcasing the achievements of its current students who continue to honour and contribute to the legacy of success built by their seniors. It is said, ”Seek, and ye shall find”. We hope that the pages of the newsletter will delight the readers as they savour the rich harvest of prizes won by their peers and seek inspiration from these to envision a success of a much higher magnitude for themselves.

Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the less travelled by, And that has made all the difference" – Robert Frost
In a world where everything has become so generic and normal, RDPS stands out as an institution that truly describes the meaning of 'being different' by enriching the life of its students with a strong academic and moral foundation. A dynamic, inquiry-driven academic approach is not the only part to be admired; RDPS has also provided its students with a plethora of opportunities for learning outside the classrooms. The bi-annual newsletter REFLECTIONS is one of them as it gives the students a wonderful platform to share their academic and co-curricular accomplishments and inspires them to strive for the extraordinary in their lives.
“The Universe inside me is full of something special. It is only waiting for the right opportunity.”- Maria Dahvana Headley
RDPS is an institution that realizes our dreams, ambitions and potentials, and holds our hand as we climb the hills to meet them. Our school instills deeply the values of zeal, diligence and resilience and propels us to accomplish our goals and seize the world. It presents ample opportunities to nurture our latent abilities and cheers for us as we stride confidently towards our goal. A great source of inspiration is our bi-annual newsletter, 'REFLECTIONS'. When we flip through its pages, our hearts fill with pride and joy as we discover the many accomplishments made by our peers, juniors and seniors. The newsletter, through its content, explores with its readers realms that extend beyond the known and encourages the students to push their boundaries to gather them. Prabhjot Kaur

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” As an institution of venerable repute, Rukmini Devi Public School has worked tirelessly to teach the profundity of these words to its students. A school unique in itself, it carries a proud history of gifting a sound education and moral values to the students that guide them throughout their lives. It strives to inculcate the qualities of honesty, discipline and responsibility, successfully contributing ethically responsible citizens to the society. RDPS provides an opportunity to the students to share their achievements in REFLECTIONS, our bi-annual school newsletter, that, in turn, helps the others to appreciate their efforts and diligence. It also inspires others to participate in various scholastic and co-scholastic opportunities and excel in them. The magazine, by celebrating the accomplishments of its students, not only strengthens their holistic development, but also introduces a positive change in their lives.

La gastronomie associe l'art de bien préparer les repas, de sélectionner des produits plus ou moins travaillés (fromages, par exemple) et celui de les déguster.Chaque pays possède ses spécialités culinaires qui dévoilent son identité. Les français eux, vouent un véritable culte aux plats et à la cuisine. Les grands chefs cuisiniers se considèrent plus comme des artistes, eux qui manient les saveurs pour en faire des œuvres d'art pour le palais.Il faut comprendre qu'en France, manger est un rituel du bonheur. Les repas solennels se partagent toujours autour d'un grand repas et l'abondance des plats permet de juger de l'importance de la fête. Le plaisir de manger accompagne les repas et les convives. Le but avoué est de profiter de l'instant et de l'oisiveté qui se présente.
Dans le monde professionnel, les Grands Chefs cuisiniers considérés comme des artistes, sont soumis à une grande pression de la part des autorités culinaires qui, chaque année, distinguent les restaurant et les chefs de France par des étoiles. Plus un restaurant possède d'étoiles, plus vous êtes assuré de trouver la meilleure des cuisine.Les étoiles apportent aux établissement beaucoup de prestige et permettent au chef décoré de varier ses recettes et d'en créer de nouvelles. Finalement, le tour de France des plats peut s'avérer être une aventure riche et très enrichissante pour qui apprécie la cuisine et s'intéresse à l'histoire des plats et à celle des régions de France.

La gastronomie
Le covoiturage est l'utilisation conjointe et organisée d'une voiture automobile, par un conducteur non professionnel et un ou plusieurs tiers passagers, dans le but d'effectuer un trajet commun.Depuis quelques années, le covoiturage s'impose naturellement comme la solution pour réduire les frais de transport et l'impact écologique sur la planète. Les prix des transports et du gasoil ne cessent d'augmenter et, fort heureusement, l'esprit de partage aussi. Ainsi, le covoiturage est devenu la façon la plus populaire de se déplacer, et pas seulement chez les jeunes. D'abord alternative aux transports en commun lors des grèves, il s'agit aujourd'hui d'un geste citoyen et peu importe dans le fond si c'est pour des raisons écologiques ou économiques. Tous les jours, des Français partent du même endroit pour se rendre (presque) au même endroit. Le covoiturage, un mode de transport fiable et économique.
De ce constat est née l'idée du covoiturage : partager sa voiture avec d'autres voyageurs pour réduire le nombre de véhicules sur les routes et bénéficier d'un trafic plus fluide. Il permet également de se rendre vers des zones excentrées, peu ou pas du tout desservies par les transports publics. Enfin, il offre aux personnes non motorisées, aux personnes âgées ou handicapées, un moyen simple et moins fatigant pour se déplacer. En répondant à des exigences écologiques, sociales et surtout économiques, le covoiturage est ainsi devenu un phénomène de société.

Mood Swings of Nature
When the clouds start singing Wearing a black veil
When every boat in a seaStops to sail
When the sun hides in the skyBut still spreading it's light
When the winds carry messagesGiving us it's insight
When the breeze touches your faceAnd the Angels show their pain
And when the clouds shed their tears It starts to rain
When the water starts dancingAnd in that recked house a candle is litAnd when the ground feels the pain of
the skyIt starts absorbing that within it
When the raindrops produce that musicOn which you can dance all day
And when your thoughtsHave nothing to say
When someone is standing at the roadside
When someone peeps out of the window, having hope in his eyes
When someone believes that one day, the sun will rise
When someone's eyes Steal your heart
And when you expect that the rain has stopped
It is the time when it starts.
Smriti, IX C
Under the full moon's lightAnd amongst the crowd
I saw a little girlFull of doubt
And what a fair maiden indeed was sheHer face shone brighter than the moon
that nightI believe she passed all the eternal powersThat grace and charm was a visual delight
But what was wrong, I still don't knowWhy those red lips appeared so sad
Why was she silent when she wanted to speak
I'm still unsure of the words she hadAnd deep in her eyes I saw her short and
screamAll alone in a cage of black
How hopeless, desperate she would've feltSome fear surely held her back
In a ripped-form-frock she looked all around
Wounded she as, but who knows whyShe hid her words, feelings and guilt
In silence she stood, she did not cryAnd what a pity, I must say
Her only friend was her wrecked-old-toy
He talked to her without words andHe was the only one she could please
or annoyThen in a flash, amongst the crowd
A cruel hand grabbed her tender hand
Silent, she just went away but her toyCried for help, lying in the sandI ran after her, but she had leftI opened my eyes, taken aback
Now I wonder was it just a nightmareAnd if she would ever come back.

Wir sind ReiseweltmeisterUnsere Feste sind weltberühmt
Urlaub an der Nordsee, der Ostsee, am Bodensee,in den Alpen, in den Mittelgebirgen
an Flüssen und Seen sind unvergesslich
Europa lebt in unserem Herz
Lange Wurzeln des Lebens sehe ich,Auf den langen Straßen, vorwärts im warmen Himmel.
Lass die Sterne so hell,Die Herrlichkeit, die wie eine Schönheit im dunklen Himmel funkelt
Die Sonne schlägt mich dann hinter mir her,Um mir einen Schatten zu machen.
Ich kann den Weg der Kultur sehen, den wir alle gemeinsam teilen,Ob glücklich oder traurig,Oder erstaunt oder froh.
Wir träumen von unserem Vaterland,Von seiner Kultur ist seine Vielfalt,
Sein Volk ist seine Größe hin und wieder.Die Tage vergehen jetzt,Die Stunden laufen ab.
Füllen meinen Schatz mit vielen schönen Erinnerungen,Sie sind die Momente, die meine Kultur mir befreundet hat,
Durch die verschiedenen Stimmen der Leute in der Broschüre von Europa.Wie die eine der schönsten Städte der Erde, Paris,
Das Modeviertel von Mailand,Von der anspruchsvollen Basis,
Zur evozierenden Vergangenheit der Erde in Rom,Die wunderschöne Goldene Stadt des Hochbarocks für Kunstliebhaber in
Salzburg,Die Stadt der Lilien Florenz, die die Renaissance geboren hat,
Mit den Türmen des Universitätsgebäudes unter den schönsten in Europa in Cambridge,
Steigerung in München,Klettern bis zum Schloss Neuschwanstein,
In der Melodie der Berliner Philharmoniker,Durchsuchen Sie die Dresdner Kunstsammlung,
Besuch in Venedig eine Stadt anders als von anderen,
Gehen Sie zu den romantischen Warren Arkaden Straßen in Padua.Dieses Ethos ist mir begabt,
Und leuchtet wie die Perle im Meer.Mein Herz schlägt für diesen Charme,
Meine Augen öffnen sich nur, um zu sehen, wie meine Kultur Respekt und Könige,
Meine Ohren eifrig, seinen Ton überall zu spüren.Die Angst, die mich jetzt erschreckt,
Ist der Zusammenbruch dieser einzigartigen Bindung.Es ist nichts anderes als die Liebe und Sorge,
Die ich für unsere vielfältige Natur überall zeigen.Durch das Fallen der epikureischen Freude in Madrid.
Verständnis eines Banketts für Sinne in Barcelona.Genießen Sie die Kulturpause im Städel Museum.
Wanderung auf der Romantischen Straße in Möttingen.Wagen in die schwarzen Wälder.
Unter den sonnendurchfluteten mediterranen Stränden.Ich freue mich, die Leute und Orte zu unterstützen,
Durch Kreativität und Internationalismus in die Welt.Um diese Vielfalt zu mischen, ist unsere Pflicht,
Pflicht, die uns niemals zwingt,Aber unsere Seele bittet, es zu tun ...

Yo soy Krishnika Raman y tengo mucho interes en aprender la lengua Española. Por eso mi maestra nos ensena yo estudio con mi mente y con mi Corazon. Desde que yo he empezado aprender Español, me ha gustado mucho. Entonces he recoplado informacion sobre la cultura de España. Hay muchas fiestas que se celebran en España eg la tomatina, la semana santa, el campamento de año Nuevo etc. Los Sanfermines de Pamplona, las Fallas de Valencia, la Tomatina de Buñuel, la Feria de Abril de Sevilla, las fiestas del Pilar de Zaragoza, los Carnavales de las Canarias, el Descenso del Sella en Asturias o los Moros y Cristianos de Alicante son tan solo algunos ejemplos de las miles de celebraciones que se distribuyen por toda la geografía española a lo largo de todo el año. La comida famosa de España es la tortilla, el paella, el gazpacho, el flan etc.Los monumentos famosos son el museo Prado, la castilla Royal, Alfambra, La Sagrada Familia etc.Penelope Cruz es mi actriz favorita y ella es super bonita. Las danzas famosas de alli son Tango, Flamenco, Salsa. Me gusta mucho la Salsa por eso yo he empezado a aprenderla.Yo opino que España es diferente, me encanta muchisimo.
La Cultura de España
La Tomatina es una fiesta que se celebra en Buñol en España. Se celebra siempre el último miércoles del mes de agosto, dentro de la semana de fiestas de Buñol y consiste en que los participantes se arrojan tomates los unos a los otros. Es como un jugo de tomates. Según algunos historiadores, su origen se debe a una broma. Un hombre estaba en la plaza del pueblo cantando y tocando música, cuando un grupo de jóvenes que le escuchaban empezaron a lanzarle tomates que sacaron de un puesto de frutas y verduras de la plaza, debido a que el hombre cantaba muy bien. Todo el mundo que había en la plaza decidió unirse y terminó en una batalla de tomates. Tanto se repitió año a año, que llegó a los tiempos actuales, ganando en fama a la tomatada. Desde alli nombre de la fiesta era La Tomatina.El Holi es un popular fiesta hinduista de primavera celebrado en la India. El Holi se celebra en mes de marzo cada año. El festival de primavera, también conocido como el de los colores y la fiesta de amor, se trata de una antigua fiesta religiosa hindú. Holi hace referencia a Holiká, la malvada hermana del rey Hiranyakashipu y tía del príncipe Prahlada. La hoguera es un recordatorio de la victoria simbólica del bien sobre el mal, de Prahlada sobre Hiranyakashipu y Holiká. La cosa comun en estas fiestas es que ambos son jugados con mucho interes y la tomatina se juega con tomates y El holi se juega con colores distintos. La tomatina se juega en España y El Holi se juega en India.
La Tomatina es como El Holi
