Delhi Public School, East of Kailash hosted the Scholar Badge Ceremony Class IV and V, 2023-24 on 6th November 2024 to celebrate the scholarly merit and hard work of its student body. The event began on an auspicious note with the lighting of the lamp by the Chief Guest, the Principal of DPS R.K. Puram, Mr. Anil Kumar, the Headmistress, DPS East of Kailash, Ms. Usha Diptivilasa and the grandparents and students of DPS East of Kailash, followed by the Invocation Dance.

Her words of encouragement and commendation filled the young scholars with pride at their achievements and a zeal to continue their extraordinary efforts to aspire towards greater heights.
This was followed by a poem recitation based on the theme of the Scholar Badge Ceremony, The Moon is but a Chin of Gold which likened the fire in the young scholars to the luminescence of the moon. The poem was a true reflection of the bright young minds in attendance.
