Her world, as ours, was the staff and students in all our schools, and the desire to give the best education to them to make a difference to our world. As the Chairperson of our Managing Committee, there wasn't a meeting that we were not reminded of the fact, that any change we wanted to see in the students, and the school would have to be a reflection of what we believed in, and how we wanted it to be. Mrs. Bansal was an integral part of the team that set up the Pawar Public School in Kandivli, and the subsequent schools in Mumbai and Pune. She was our guide, philosopher and Go To person with all our queries, concerns, complaints and solutions. Her vast experience in the field of education and administration, ensured that the vision we had at PPCT would be fulfilled, and that quality and affordable education would be available to all who applied to our schools. Her demise has left a void that would be hard to fill. However, our greatest gift to her would be to enhance and build on the principles she laid down for the schools to follow. Given her vast experience in the education sector, these very practices, systems and procedures were implemented in a way that education would be taught differently by working within the broader framework laid down by the authorities – in short, “You must be the change you wish to see in this world”. We pay tribute to Mrs Kumud Bansal and to the legacy she has left behind. We will continue in the same spirit, determination and resolve as she displayed to us, to provide the best education to our students, and ensure the success in their endeavours. - Trustees and Managing Committee Pawar Public Charitable Trust focus inside...

Dr. Oak earnestly requests the Doctors to accept reality and the people at large to understand that doctors too are human beings and therefore may have certain Dear readers, this is my sincere attempt to share with limitations. He therefore appeals to the public to, neither you the essence of an article I came across some time consider doctors as super powers, nor accuse doctors or back in the Lok Rang supplement of the Marathi damage hospitals when death over powers medical newspaper Lok Satta. This article has been written by science. Dr. Sanjay Oak, Ex-Dean of G.S. Medical College, Mumbai. Nothing else can better reflect the importance of health over wealth than Alexander's victory in war and The article is titled, surrender to death. 'The Three Last Wishes of Alexander the Great' Remember, your Health is in your own hands, look Alexander the Great, the Emperor of the world, met after it well, since wealth is only meaningful if you can with a tragic end. While he was trying to capture the share and enjoy it while you are still alive, kicking & whole world, he himself was captured by a life- healthy. Therefore it is important to maintain a good threatening disease. When he realized that he is nearing balance between health & wealth. his death, he called his Generals and shared his three last wishes, which were as follows: I wish each and every member of the PPS family all the very best for the next academic year. 1) After my death, when I am on my last journey, my coffin should be carried by my physicians. With warm regards, 2) When my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path - Dr. Madhura Phadke leading to the graveyard should be strewn with the Principal gold, silver and precious stones which I have amassed during my reign. 3) As my body is being carried to the graveyard, both my hands should be left hanging out of my coffin. When his Generals assured him that all his wishes would be fulfilled, he felt relaxed. Here is how Dr. Sanjay Oak has made an attempt to explain the philosophy behind the three last wishes of Alexander. Alexander wanted the people to realize that though the progress in the field of medical sciences has empowered man to treat various ailments, it has not empowered human beings to have control over death. Therefore we should not give doctors a divine status as they too have their own limitations. This does not mean that doctors treat their patients as only a medical case to be treated but also feel the patient's agony, while treating 7 Trustees Dear Students, “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” - Socrates s we bid adieu to another batch of students, we hope that the flame within has been lit for Athem to chart their options and move onto the next phase of their lives. Our foundations were built on the ideals of great thinkers like Socrates, Plato and Kant, where the individual mind would search within oneself, to bring out the best and make a difference to the world he/she lives in. The world today is vastly different from the one these great thinkers lived in. The advent of technology has brought to the fore immense knowledge and ideas; whilst making us aware of the trials and tribulations that one has to face in a lifetime, by exposing us to thoughts and ideas that in the past may have seemed unthinkable. Therein lies the challenge, of balancing the good and the bad, deciding what's right and what's wrong, and taking decisions that benefit the individual and society at large. We have laid the groundwork for this thought process, by providing the best education possible, which allows the mind to think rationally, and ignites the desire to learn further. By using technology alongside time tested modes of teaching, our soon to be alumni are well on their way to being the torch bearers in whichever field they choose. The lessons learnt over the years, the hard work and perseverance, will allow them to distinguish between black and white; night and day; war and peace and love and hatred. As they leave us this month, we wish them well and good luck. Another batch will do us proud, and take with them the memories of learning at Pawar Public School, and of the teachers, staff and administrators that have been instrumental in shaping this stage of their lives. To the parents of our graduating seniors, all we can say is thank you for standing by your child, and with us, so that collectively we could make a difference. The flame has been lit, let's not think of any vessel! - Supriya and Sadanand Sule Trustees, Pawar Public Group of Schools Member Managing Committee s your children go up in every class, the pressure on them grows both academically and Asocially. It is upto the parents and teachers to see that the student has coping strategies to deal with these pressures. Our school endeavours to maintain a close rapport between students and teachers and there are in addition counsellors who are specially trained to deal with these situations. Parents would do well to keep in mind the importance of the E-quotient (emotional quotient) when urging their wards to measure up to standards in the I-quotient( intelligence quotient), and to give their children a full measure of confidence by praising them for what they do well.Children flourish under the sunshine of praise and tend to wither if they are constantly compared, to their detriment, or criticized. I am proud that all members of the faculty are aware of the E-quotient in children whom they guide and teach, so that the parents and students of the school can be sure that by working together they will continue to reach high goals. I wish all our students another happy and successful year. - Mrs. Meenakshi Bhat Managing Committee Member 8 Member Managing Committee t is observed by us at school that every year the months V.

Infact two of the candidates rejected by Terman as not 'gifted enough' went on to be Nobel laureates. 9 The Inquiry poem was shared with me by Dr. Mrs. Anjali Gurjar, Principal of Hadapsar School about a year ago and is a stark but true picture of the present educational scenario in our country. Recently I read an article in one of the newspapers lamenting the fact that India, in all probabilities, produces the largest number of engineers but has the least number of patents to show for it. The article went on to rue the fact that most of our engineering graduates go on to pursue their MBA's and take up jobs in Sales & Marketing, it is a rare few who give any thought to a career in research. This made me go back to the 'Inquiry Poem', it is a poignant note on how, at the early schooling level, we kill that spark of curiosity, that ability to think out of the box, to dream and to indulge in flights of imagination which is possessed by every child by laying emphasis only on studying & learning that which is printed in the book, by not providing a platform for asking questions, by nagging our children to study rather than 'wasting' time in 'day dreaming'… A small mystery then as to why we are falling short of making any significant contributions or innovations in any field be it science & technology or education or conservation, social conscience, … Once a little boy went to school. Now, said the teacher, He was quite a little boy We are going to make a dish. And it was quite a big school. He liked to make dishes, But the little boy And he began to make some Found that he could go to his room That were all shapes and sizes. By walking in from the door outside. But the teacher said, Wait He was happy And I will show you how. And school did not seem And she showed everyone how to make one deep dish. Quite so big anymore There, said the teacher One morning, Now you may begin When the little boy had been in school a while, The little boy looked at his teacher's dish, The teacher said: Then he looked at his own. Today we are going to make a picture. He liked his dishes better than his teacher's, Good, thought the little boy. But he did not say this. He liked to make pictures. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again He could make all things: And made a dish just like the teacher's. Lions and tigers, It was a deep dish Chickens and cows, And pretty soon the little boy learned to wait, Trains and boats – And to watch, And he took out his box of crayons And to make things just like the teacher. And he began to draw. And pretty soon But the teacher said. Wait. He didn't make anything of his own anymore. It is not time to begin. Then it happened And she waited until everyone looked ready. That the little boy and his family Now, said the teacher, Moved into another house, We are going to make flowers. In another city, Good, thought the little boy. And the little boy had to go to another school. He liked to make flowers, This school was even bigger than the other one, And he began to make beautiful flowers. And there was no door from the outside into his room. With his pink and orange and blue crayons. He had to go up some steps. But the teacher said, Wait! And he walked down a long hall And I will show you how. To get to his room. And it was red, with a green stem. And the very first day There, said the teacher He was there, Now you may begin. The teacher said, The little boy looked at the teacher's flower. Today we are going to make a picture. Then he looked at his own flower. Good, thought the little boy. He liked his flower better than the teacher's. And he waited for the teacher But he did not say this. To tell him what to do. He just turned his paper over But the teacher didn't say anything. And he made a flower like the teacher's. She just walked around the room. It was red, with a green stem. When she came to the little boy she said: On another day, Don't you want to make a picture? When the little boy had opened Yes, said the little boy, The door from outside all by himself, What are we going to make? The teacher said: I don't know until you make it, said the teacher. Today we are going to make something with clay. How shall I make it? asked the little boy. Good, thought the little boy. Any colour, said the teacher. He liked clay. If everyone made the same picture, He could make all kinds of things with clay: And used the same colours, Snakes and snowmen, How would I know who made what? Elephants and mice, And which was which? Cars and trucks – I don't know, said the little boy, And he began to pull and pinch And he began to make a red flower with a green stem. His ball of clay. But the teacher said: We as a part of the academic fraternity need to decide Wait, it is not time to begin. 'Teaching – which way?' And she waited until everyone looked ready. 10 From the desk of the Headmistress ''Shraddavan Labhate Jnanam'' Apart from developing concentration it is also necessary to purify the mind.

The teacher can actually become limited by the knowledge and past values accessible to a coach and a more benign guiding force for the youth the educators. The educators traditionally find comfort towards developing their vision of future. The in their existing confinement of acquired values and classroom then evolves into an intellectual playground knowledge, and pass these down to the new where everyone discards the traditional tug-of-war generation. Majority of the new generation tries to between the omniscient teacher and the ignorant adhere to these existing values, but a small fraction students, instead, collectively learning to push against questions and pushes the limits of knowledge.

The Mentoring Ceremony for Grade 10 students of Pawar Public School, Bhandup, for the academic year 2012-13 was held in the school auditorium on 3rd July 2012. The auspicious day of Guru Purnima was chosen for the same as it was the most befitting date for the Mentoring ceremony. The Ceremony commenced with a soul-stirring prayer song on Guru. The meaning of the word 'mentor' was explained to the students and a few illustrious mentor – mentee pairs like Krishna–Arjuna, Chanakya- Chandragupta Maurya were mentioned. The special feature of the programme was the lamp lighting ceremony which imparted austerity to the occasion. The teachers and pupils were arranged in rows and given a lamp each. The Principal initiated the proceedings by lighting her lamp and then lighted the lamp of the student positioned behind her. This set a relay of lamp lighting which turned out to be a feast for all eyes. Holding the lamps aloft, the entire mentor–mentee gathering recited a pledge and vowed to work hand–in–hand towards achieving excellent results in the Board examinations. The Mentoring Ceremony is sure to sow the seeds of hope and confidence in the Grade 10 students and guide them through the stressful period towards a meritorious performance in the Board examinations. Let's take a firm stand To work hand–in–hand, We sincerely hope to progress Towards the path of success Guided by support and good sense Yes….Together we can make a difference. - Mrs. Radhika Padmanabhan Head - Department of Chemistry 13 After days of practice, hard work and brimming enthusiasm, dawned the most awaited and anticipated day.

Teachers' DAY The Teachers' Day celebration was a joyous occasion for both 'the teacher and the taught' as tears of joy flowed. It was the students all the way…. Right from the first period, the students officiated as teachers in all the classrooms... The students of Grade 10 took up the mantle of entertaining their teachers and offering tributes to them in their last academic year at school. The auditorium was filled with various emotions like laughter, surprise, affection, nostalgia as the Grade 10 students presented skits, dances and songs to make this day a special one for their teachers… A day that the teachers would savour for a long, long time. - Mrs. Radhika Padmanabhan Head - Department of Chemistry 22 FunFAIR I wish life to be a … It captured both our heart and mind, That occasion indeed, was of a special kind. Where students run in line, there stalls were already lined. Smiles adorning the evening left the frowning faces behind. The entry, entry price, entry ticket, all were short and sweet, If not any person, the beautiful evening was there to greet. The excited cars and bikes walked along the street, Seeing the grand occasion, they did comment and tweet. Some conversations were important, some were silly, Some started and even ended with only a 'Happy Diwali'. Some faces were new but many were seen daily, Some expressions like a leaf, some like a lily. The colour of the sky, blue but light, Wore a darker shade for the party at night! The 'Speakers' soon captured everyone's sight, The music called up people from front, back and right. Dancing – everyone did, if not their feet, Their heart did dance a faster beat. Many danced like it was the first and the last time, Few made faces - as if it were a crime. With energy and happiness – sublime, For two hours with music our feet did rhyme. When finally the music became silent, Loudness increased on the floor, Happy but still we cried, “We want more.” And at last everyone started leaving fully satisfied, Wishing good-bye heartily and in a way less dignified. After coming out of the gate, Words in rhyme struck me at a steady rate. They said, “In this busy world, enjoyment is very rare, Smiles are everywhere but still nowhere.” But today I saw people were busy enjoying! Smiles could be easily found anywhere. And so from the bottom of my heart, I wish life to be a fun-fair, a fun-fair. - Surendra Surwade X B Head Boy 23 “Occasions of importance though not many, And moments of togetherness very few, Grade X They definitely colour our lives with a different hew.” A cultural platform was set up to mould young minds AnnualDAY brimming with talent and to release their inherent qualities and qualifications. The theme for the Grade 10 Annual Day was 'Making extraordinary out of the ordinary'. The students exemplified the lives of genuine people like LAXMANRAO KIRLOSKAR, RATAN TATA and the Hindi Poet KAKA HATHRASI all coming from a humble background and harnessing higher ideals. This instilled in the students motivational and inspirational values like humility and genuineness. The occasion was raised to a stature of proud prominence with the graceful presence of our Chief Guest, Mr. Unmesh Bhatija accompanied by Mrs. Bhatija. Mr. Bhatija impressed the audience with a thought provoking speech, filled with the rich experiences of his life. He stressed upon the needs to keep good company and to be led by one's dreams, instead of opting for easier options in life. - Arati Rajgopal Secondary Section 24 "If your ACTIONS inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a LEADER". The theme based programme 'Temper….Temper' presented by Grade 1 students provided a glimpse into the life of the people in Italy. Our story was about the root cause of every problem and that is ……Temper, Anger, Irritation, Mood swings. The title of the story presented by the students of Grade 2 was 'Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti'. The story was about a teacher who comes across a difficult child in her class and how she helps the child restore faith and succeed in life. And in the whole process she herself learns to teach. The focus was on forging a stronger bond between a teacher and her students. The students of Grade 3 revisited the precious values of peace, harmony, unity, forgiveness and sharing through their theme - 'The Jungle School' where the animals came alive and presented the old time stories but with a new twist. Our new generation story ensured that the animals did not have to resort to 'an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth'. Grade 1-5 AnnualDAY 25 In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential need for survival, water along with other resources has become the victim of his indifference. To fight this battle, our students of Grade IV created an awareness through their theme 'Jal hai to kal hai'. Individualism seems to be the mantra of today's times. There is merit in each one's uniqueness but we need to function as one whole. Our students of Grade V conveyed this concept of a divine and cosmic symphony of the five elements in nature through their theme 'Panchatatva- The Divine Symphony'. The success of all Annual days was great scripts, choreography, songs and dances, props, sound and light effects and creativity which were seen in every single thing, right from the invitation cards to the rangoli designs. - Mrs. Anita Guruji Primary Section 26 Pre-Primary AnnualDAY People say, “Health is Wealth”. And why not? A healthy body is necessary to achieve all our dreams and aspirations. Keeping in line with this wonderful thought, the Annual Day of the Pre-Primary Section was themed, “Healthy Bachpan = Happy Bachpan”. The little ones, through an amazing display of narration and dances, showed everyone how easy it is to maintain a healthy body. All one has to do is stick to one's daily regime. The children danced to the tunes of advertisements propagating health and hygiene! - Mrs. Sangeeta Rele Pre-Primary Co-ordinator 27 The Annual Sports Day, 2012 -2013, for Grades 6-9 was held on Tuesday, 18th December, 2012. The Chief Guest was Commodore T.V. Thomas who was accompanied by his wife Mrs. Renni Thomas. The events of the day started off with a Welcome Song written and set to music especially for the occasion by the music teacher, Ms. Jharna Ghosh. This was followed by a well synchronized March Past where all the students literally put their best foot forward to give their respective houses the best chance to lift the coveted March Past Trophy. A foot tapping score, “It's our Sports Day!” written by Ms Grade 6-9 Arpita Karmakar created the mood for the rest of the day's events. A dedicated band kept perfect time and gave a commendable exhibition of music while SportsDAY marching. Having regaled our ears with melodious music, the students were all set to enthrall the audience with a variety of drill displays. First on the field were the students of Grade 6, with a colourful and graceful set of drill exercises using saris. A regal peacock made its stately entrance into the field to symbolize the abundance of colours in the flora and fauna that surrounds us making mankind's life so joyful. They were followed by a foot tapping and energetic display by the students of Grade 8. The burst of confetti and the soaring of balloons in the air were very much in sync with the exuberance displayed by these students. 28 The finale to the drill displays was superbly brought in by the students of Grade 7, who gave a fantastic rendition of lezim – the drill cum dance exercise that is typical to Maharashtra. The coming of Lord Ganesha, of Lokmanya Tilak and of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj seated regally on a white horse had all the parents awestruck.The drill displays gave way to an array of track events in which the students sizzled on the race track.. The Annual Sports Day at Pawar Public School was truly the result of co-ordinated and co-operative effort of every member of the school. Each member of the Management, the academic staff, the administrative staff, the housekeeping staff, and the students who had been given special responsibilities, had only one goal – the smooth functioning of every single aspect of the day. Prize distribution ceremony witnessed the appreciation of the efforts and hard work put in by the students. "In the end, it's extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more that that too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don't win, how can you lose?” says Jesse Owens. - Mrs. Radhika Padmanabhan Head - Department of Chemistry 29 Grade 1-5 SportsDAY AN EXHIBITION OF ESPIRIT DE CORPS!!!

The Farewell Day! It is one of those memorable days of one's life when you smile, cry, enjoy, miss, love, forgive and many more emotions all bundled up. These are not our feelings but the feelings of our very honourable seniors. Our hard work, worries, excitement, fights, then understanding and misconceptions brought together a grand and successful event which was cherished by every single senior. After all, 'TOGETHER WE Mr. PPS - Tikshnagat Waghmare Miss. PPS - Rushali Saxena CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE'. They took home SWEET MEMORIES! The event started post lunch with a song followed by our Principal's address and the rounds of the Anurag Katakkar Mr. and Ms. PPS contest. Between the rounds there were dance performances, games, more songs and a memorable Power point Presentation and a skit based on Best the school life of our seniors. Before the grand finale, there DRESSED was a mesmerizing surprise dance performance by our seniors. We could see the impatience and eagerness in them as the results for the various awards were being announced. Last but not the least, the most awaited, was the DJ. They danced their hearts out. This was the most emotional time - dance, cameras, hugs, promises, tension (for exams arriving just after a month). This was one of the most admired batches in the history of PPS and I am sure that the school is proud of them. - Ruhanee Hiran IX C Mrunmayee Patil & Maanasi Marathe Best SMILE Best CATWALK Ritika Vinchurkar Surendra Surwade Manjiri Adivarekar Johann Fernandes 39 Pen School VISIT TO PPS BHANDUP nUo `Worb Aml_emiVorb (OWoo R>mH$a, H$mVH$ar Aem Am{Xdmgr {Vgè`m {Xder gH$mir 7.30 dmOVm ZmíVm CaH$yZ _bwtgm~oV Cd[©aV g_mOmVrb _bw-o_bwr {ejU KVo AmhVo. _~§wB© XeZ©mV Zhoê$ VmamJ§U, gm`Ýg gQ|>a, {S>ñH$ìhar Am\°$ B{§S>`m BË`mXr nm{hb.o 3 S>r {\$ë_ H$m` AgVo `mMm _bwtZr n{hë`mX§mM {X.21, 22, 23, 24 Aem ghbrÀ`m VmaIm R>abëo`m.

Poverty depends upon one's thinking. There are many examples in public life that would support my view. Lal Bahadur Shastri, APJ Abdul Kalam, Abraham Lincoln belonged to poor families but, they touched the height of success. They encountered challenges of life lion-heartedly. Poverty made them mentally prepared for every circumstance. “Gold glitters with radiance when burned in fire”. Therefore, people should not use poverty as an excuse, they have to overcome it. Dhirubai Ambani who established the “Reliance Industries” once worked at a petrol pump as a petrol- filter boy. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in his youth was a newspaper hawker. Irfan Pathan's father owns a grocery shop outside a mosque in Baroda. They have proved that success is obtained by talent, self- determination and hard work and not by money. They Give a Green Gift have proved that poverty is not a curse. Sit down for an hour, However, there is another side to the coin too.

Since the economic progress is hampered, people remain in poverty. This is a never ending cycle. It has been seen that children of poor parents, due to lack of nourishment and education turn out to be poor. It has also been seen that they also inherit a mindset of poverty. India's Hindu caste system is also responsible for the existing poverty. The upper class people have always exploited the poor and low caste people. As a result generation after generation, poor remain poor and the rich always enjoy high standards of living. This is the reality our country has been facing since long. There are three main causes of poverty in India – deficiency in economy growth, lack of education and overpopulation. Our economy has no doubt grown and there has been development, but it has failed to provide sufficient number of jobs, productivity and just wages. Our population is increasing day by day and this is the Corruption: A threat of Democracy root cause of all our problems. It has marred the rate of Corruption is a global phenomenon.
