He spoke about the impact of loss of biodiversity upon climate, the water cycle, rainfall, ground water levels , soil erosion, landslides etc. Using impactful visuals , relatable examples and a documentary he illustrated the chain reaction that unfolds due to the loss of biodiversity.

He threw light on some common substances used at home and the plants that they were derived from e.g. gum /gond is derived from the Babool tree, the Jamun tree has its uses in treating diabetes etc.He also spoke about the restorative measures that are being carried out, various biodiversity parks that have been made and how they are bringing back the birds and animals that had started dwindling in numbers.He provoked  the  students to reflect on the environmental cost of their daily choices and ponder over the effects of loss of flora and fauna . He asked the students  to dwell on the solutions to the catastrophic, man made decisions that are detrimental to the environment, solutions that are feasible, practical and can be implemented.

The interactive nature of the session kept students engaged. Discussions, queries  and real-life case studies encouraged students to think critically. The session was organized and coordinated by Ms. Niva Chhonkar (HOD), Ms. Reema Khosla and Ms. Kajal Sethi of the Department of Biology.

DPS RK PURAM STUDENTS DEVELOP APNA PRAHARI

DPS RK PURAM STUDENTS DEVELOP APNA PRAHARI: A SMART AQI MONITORING AND LPG LEAKAGE PREVENTION SYSTEM

TEST THE EFFICACY OF INDOOR AIR-PURIFYING PLANTS

Encouraged by the Principal, Mr Anil Kumar, DPS RK Puram Class X students Jap Malhotra & Vani Menon, under the mentorship of Ms Niva Chhonkar, HoD Biology, developed a ‘Apna Prahari’ ‘अपना प्रहरी’: A PORTABLE POLLUTION PROBE to track the air quality (AQI), especially Indoor Air Quality, along with temperature and humidity.

Many people are unaware of the air they breathe every day, whether indoors, be it at home, school, office or outdoors. This project focused on designing a device that can detect air pollution levels in real time, using different types of sensors. It helps people monitor harmful gases and particulate matter, and take steps to protect their health

 Indoor pollution occurs when the air inside homes, offices, schools, or other enclosed spaces becomes polluted. It can cause health issues such as breathing problems, allergies, headaches, and respiratory diseases.LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), carbon monoxide (CO), and ammonia (NH₃) are significant contributors to indoor air pollution and pose health risks if not managed properly.


The Main Causes are Smoking, Cooking smoke, Chemicals from cleaning products, Poor ventilation, Dust, mould, and pollen. Indoor air pollution contains harmful chemicals that come from everyday activities and building materials.

Common Indoor Chemical Pollutants include:

  1. Carbon Monoxide (CO): Produced by gas stoves, heaters, and tobacco smoke. It prevents oxygen from reaching body tissues.
  2. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Found in paints, cleaning products, air fresheners, and adhesives. They can cause irritation, headaches, or long-term health issues.
  3. Formaldehyde: Present in pressed wood products, furniture, and some fabrics. It can trigger allergies and respiratory problems.
  4. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂): Released from gas appliances and combustion. It affects lung function.
  5. Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10): Dust, pollen, mould spores, and fibres that cause breathing problems and allergies.

Incomplete combustion of LPG leads to the release of harmful gases like CO.which is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas. It accumulates in closed spaces and is highly toxic.
This project aimed to design a Smart Air Quality Monitoring Device, which detects indoor AQI in real time, alerts users through mobile/PC, and prevents fire damage by sensing LPG leakage and triggering an alarm. The efficacy of indoor air purification using selected plants: Feather Palm, Money Plant, Chlorophytum (Spider Plant), Sansevieria (Snake Plant). It was proven that Indoor plants play a significant role in improving air quality by absorbing harmful gases and increasing oxygen content.

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” — Plutarch

Delhi Public School, RK Puram hosted the Class VII Scholar Badge Ceremony for the academic session 2024–25 on 4th December 2025 in the Audio-Visual Hall, celebrating the academic and co-curricular achievements of students. 

The esteemed Chief Guest for the event was Dr Jitendra Nagpal, a renowned psychiatrist with over twenty years of experience across leading hospitals in India. 

The event began with the auspicious lighting of the ceremonial lamp by the Chief Guest, Dr Jitendra Nagpal; the Principal, Mr Anil Kumar; the Vice Principals: Mr Anil Kathuria, Mr Mukesh Kumar, Mr Naresh Miglani and Ms Rashmi Malhotra and the Headmistress, Dr Anubha Gopal. 

Inspired by the theme of ‘Music is the universal language of mankind’, the programme commenced with a harmonious performance by the Indian Orchestra, filling the auditorium with a rich, vibrant energy that welcomed the audience into the spirit of celebration. Thereafter, a soulful and rhythmic rendition of the song ‘Hawao ka samjho ishara’ was presented by the young students of Class VII, spreading awareness about global issues like excessive pollution. This was followed by an exquisite dance performance as a tribute to Mother Earth which enthralled the audience.

In his address, the Principal, Mr Anil Kumar, welcomed the honoured Chief Guest, Dr Jitendra Nagpal as well as the proud parents of the students receiving the awards and thanked them for gracing the occasion. He lauded the achievements of the Chief Guest, a pioneer of mental health in the country and spoke about the three H’s – the Head, the Heart and the Hand, which emphasise the importance of holistic wholesome development, highlighting both physical and mental well-being. He also quoted Dr Harivanshrai Bachchan – ‘If it is according to your wish, then it is good, if not, then it is even better’ as it is the wish of the almighty and it helps us to realise our potential.

Thereafter, the much-awaited Scholar Badge Ceremony was conducted by the Class VII representatives: Ms Mahima Goel and Ms Bhumika Singh. This year, a remarkable number of students received recognition for their unwavering dedication – an affirmation of the countless hours of learning, participation and growth which is reflected through their outstanding achievements in scholastic and co-scholastic areas. A total number of 226 awards were presented, including 146 Second Green Badges for continued academic excellence for two consecutive years, 77 First Green Badges, 7 Gold Medals for 100% attendance, one Red Blazer, 7 Pins and 14 Certificates for sports and co-curricular achievements.

The esteemed Chief Guest, Dr Jitendra Nagpal addressed the audience and emphasised that children are the nation’s future leaders and that DPS functions not just as a school but as a family. Highlighting the idea of ‘vikas’, he affirmed that today’s youth will drive national transformation through schools — the true temples of learning. Referring to the Principal’s address, he reinforced the importance of the three H’s — Head, Heart and Hand—in ensuring holistic development. 

He resonated with the audience by acknowledging how children’s voices often go unheard, urging everyone to listen more closely and appreciating platforms like the Youth Parliament that amplify those voices. He noted that while the National Curriculum Framework 2005 did not adequately address holistic growth, the National Education Policy 2020 places student well-being—mental, physical and social—at its core. Concluding his address, he reflected on family dynamics, the impact of social media and the enduring values that define Indian families.

The ceremony concluded with the Vote of Thanks delivered by the Headmistress, Dr Anubha Gopal, who expressed her gratitude towards the esteemed Chief Guest for taking out time to grace the occasion. She thanked the Principal for his nurturing initiatives for the students and lauded the parents as the strongest pillars of support for their children.
