In the eternal quest for wisdom where intellect seeks illumination and curiosity finds its compass, Guru Gobind Singh Public School, Sector V/B, Bokaro, stood as a proud host to an enlightening interactive session on Thursday, 24th April 2025. The event was graced by none other than Dr. Vijay Kumar, a venerable name in the field of medicine, whose presence lent gravitas and warmth to the gathering.
Dr. Kumar, a dedicated physician with a remarkable career spanning over three decades, completed his MBBS in 1986 from MGM Medical College, Jamshedpur, and pursued his postgraduation in General Medicine in 2012. His distinguished service of 32 years at Bokaro General Hospital culminated with his retirement in 2021 as Additional Chief Medical Officer. He now continues to serve the community as a contractual specialist in the Department of Medicine and as a consultant in private practice.
The session commenced at 11:00 a.m. and witnessed enthusiastic participation from students of Classes IX and XI. Held in an atmosphere of calm curiosity and vibrant academic spirit, the interactive session proved to be a confluence of youthful inquisitiveness and seasoned experience. The young attendees posed thoughtful questions on a diverse range of topics, including health, nutrition, stress management, academic pressure, and future career choices.
Dr. Kumar, a specialist in Gastrointestinal Medicine, addressed each query with admirable patience, clarity, and depth. His words resonated not just as information but as inspiration, offering students valuable guidance on harmonizing academic pursuits with personal wellness and emotional resilience.
The event commenced with a solemn lighting of the ceremonial lamp, a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment, followed by the school prayer and bouquet presentation as a token of respect and welcome. The dignified presence of Shri S.P. Singh, Secretary, Guru Gobind Singh Educational Society, added immense value to the occasion. The event was also graced by Mr. Soumen Chakraborty, Principal, GGPS Bokaro; Mr. C.P. Singh, Vice-Principal; Mrs. Suman Nangia, Vice-Principal (Middle Wing); and Coordinators Mrs. Kumari Sudha and Ms. Devyanti from the Primary Wing.
This session, deeply rooted in the ethos of holistic education, served as a radiant example of how schools can bridge the gap between academic learning and life wisdom. As the session drew to a close, it left behind not just answered questions but kindled dreams and awakened aspirations.
Such initiatives remain the heartbeat of meaningful education — where torches of experience light the candles of youthful minds, and learning transcends textbooks to embrace the truths of life.
