Ranchi, May 16:
The much-awaited launch of “Goonj – The Voice of Thought, Echoes of Learning” was celebrated today with great enthusiasm and grandeur at DAV Nandraj Public School, Ranchi. The event was graced by distinguished guests Mr. Piyush Pandey, IPS, Commandant, JAP-10, Ranchi, and Mrs. Nidhi Dwivedi, IPS, SP CID, Ranchi, who jointly inaugurated the initiative.
The ceremony began with the ribbon-cutting of the Goonj Auditorium, followed by the traditional lighting of the ceremonial lamp, symbolizing the illumination of knowledge. The soulful musical performance by the school’s music band “Waves” captivated the audience and set a melodious tone for the occasion.
In a unique and heartwarming gesture, both Mr. Piyush Pandey and Mrs. Nidhi Dwivedi participated in a special song performance, delighting the students and staff alike. Their presence and involvement added a personal and inspirational touch to the event.
The inauguration also marked the commencement of the Special Summer Camp, offering a wide array of enriching activities including music, art, and a mesmerising magic show presented by the renowned magician Mr. Vijay Verma, whose performance left the audience spellbound.
Adding charm and awareness to the occasion, the tiny tots of Bal Vatika presented two thought-provoking skits. The first, titled “Stranger Awareness”, focused on teaching children how to stay safe and cautious in unfamiliar situations. The second, “Say No to Mobile Phones”, creatively conveyed the message of avoiding excessive screen time and not misusing mobile devices. The young performers won hearts with their confident delivery and important messages.
Speaking on the occasion, Principal Dr. Ravi Prakash Tiwary said,
“Goonj is not just a program—it is a platform for voices, thoughts, and talents to emerge and echo. We are committed to creating such opportunities where learning becomes joyful, expressive, and inclusive.”
The event beautifully echoed the spirit of Goonj – truly a platform for voices to rise and learning to resonate.
