Oath Taking Ceremony

A long-awaited Oath Taking Ceremony for the Academic Session (2020-21) finally materialised on January 1, 2021. In a special assembly convened for the purpose, the school appointments were led into the Pavate Hall by Mr Ajay Singh, Headmaster, The Punjab Public School. It was a sight to behold as the appointments were named and their citations read out to the delight of all present including parents who could make it for the momentous occasion. They were given Certificates of Leadership. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Singh enumerated seven qualities which a leader must have. These include resilience, flexibility, communication, courage, humility, presence and responsibility or accountability. A true leader is always resilient in the face of adversities. He takes every challenge in his stride. He should be flexible as the grass which is not rattled while facing the strong currents of wind. He should cultivate adaptability in his personality. Communication refers to the art of connecting with the led and the ability to reach out. He should have the knack of persuasion. Courage, a grossly misunderstood term, refers more to the ability to stand up to any wrong and the ability to do the right thing at the right time. It also means to stand alone to the ridicule of the zealots. Determination and patience are other manifestations of it. Humility does not imply subservience but acting realistically without being snobbish. Presence is the strength of character. A leader’s very presence speaks of his work ethics. He means business. Responsibility or accountability are his hallmark. Besides, Mr Singh wished everyone a very happy and prosperous 2021. The proceedings concluded with the singing of the national anthem.
