INTRODUCTION

A great saying goes so "Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today!” It is an enduring tradition to take time to pause, turn around to look at the fruitful year gone by, achieving both the expected and the unexpected, while setting various milestones and then synergizing ourselves to move ahead to face the challenges in the coming year, with a positive attitude.

CONCLUSION
Now the school report. I know the Principal’s report is not a very welcome interlude during the cultural programme. I have tried to trim it but excessive trimming of the school report is like presenting your score card after deducting some marks yourself. Well, that was in a lighter vein. We all know, presentation of the school report on its Annual Day is an enduring tradition to take time to pause, turn around to look at the fruitful year gone by, achieving both the expected and unexpected, while setting various milestones and then synergizing ourselves to move ahead to face the challenges in the coming year, with a positive attitude. But I am not going to read out all the details of the report right now. The detailed report of the Jayantian vista will be shown to you during the programme on the screen. Let me avail this opportunity to express and extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to all who in one way or the other helped and supported for the gradual growth of this new institution. Dear parents let me speak a few words to you. (Kannada)

Before I end, I would like to recite a quote that sums up my feelings of pride at our achievements and the unquenchable aspiration to improve and forge ahead –

Walking forth is the only plight,
Because we didn’t come this far to come this for only.”
