Career Counseling
Planning is the soul of success.
Delhi Public School Lava organized a virtual Career Counseling Session for its Grade X students on 23rd December 2021.
Mr Anupum Raghuvanshi, a Career Strategist, Prerna Scholar IIM Lucknow, a Ted Ex-Speaker and Director TIME Varanasi addressed the students and the parents. He urged them to ask questions that will help them understand their own selves better. Learning, said Mr Raghuvanshi, is a three-layered phenomenon that includes Knowledge Exposure and Experience. Our role as parents and mentors is to make opportunities available for our children to learn.
The big question for most students is Stream Selection. A psychometric test was taken by the students in October 2021 and the reports were shared with their parents. The report suggests streams on the basis of Aptitude Interest and Personality.
The session was a wonderful platform for both students and parents to ask questions. Mr Raghuvanshi responded to each question and in the process cleared some cobwebs.

The Equality Club
Claim It - Exploring Diversity & Minority Sentiments
Session I
On 7th December 2021, The Equality Club of DPS Lava organized a session that explored the many differences that a classroom has, despite its seemingly homogenous composition, and to help empathize with those who find themselves in a minority to one criterion or another, on school premises.
The main message of the session was - Being in a minority often makes one feel vulnerable; there is fear of being judged or misinterpreted and worry that minority interests will be disregarded. It is important to recognize and remember these emotions
The Equality Club Session
Claim It - Media, Minorities and Representation
Session II
To understand the power and influence of media on minority rights and our perception of diversity the Equality Club of DPS Lava had organized Session II on the topic Claim It! – Exploring Diversity & Minority Sentiments on 22nd December 2021 in the School Premises.
The main message of the session was - Media is powerful. However, it often focuses on the dominant narrative and does not lend a voice to those most marginalized. It is important to consume media with this understanding and push for corrective action to ensure that all voices are heard.
The session ended with a wonderful interaction with the student members.
