Being an alumni of DAV, although I am proud of such an achievement, I am sad when i see my school excelling only in academics but not giving much focus to other fields...DAV might be the best in acads but I disagree with the Principal when he says the school gives as much importance to personality development. DAV is yet to match certain other shools in Chennai when it comes to producing stars in various other fields such as sports, music, fine arts and so on. In that sense, DAV has to be much more than just a school that churns out the best academic results year on year.

Hi sharath ram,
Dont you think its absolutely baseless to say that DAV might have proven itself academically, but that PSBB produces better finished products? I dont think there is any way you can substantiate your claim. Are there very many PSBBians who have excelled in non-academic fields, especially because of the encouragement given by the PSBB? I think DAV strikes a good balance between academic and non-academic activities. And it would probably make better sense to emphasize more on academics at the school level. Personality development is inevitable when a student joins one of the IITs or BITS and meets people of different ethos and background. And for this, high school education plays a very important role. Please do not try to rob the school of the credit it deserves. Kudos to DAV. Am a proud x-student of this very school.
