The G. Bhaskar Memorial lecture and award ceremony was organised on 18th December 2023 at Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram in remembrance of G. Bhaskar, a very promising student, who joined the institution in class VIII. Lost in the crowd initially, Venkata Subramaniam Bhaskar slowly and steadily made a place in the hearts of his fellow students and teachers. An extremely talented and hardworking student, not only did he excel in academics, but he was also a great badminton player and played for the school table tennis team. He also had formal training in Classical Carnatic music and could recite several chapters from Shrimad Bhagwat Gita. Unfortunately, his success ended with his early demise. In his memory, DPS RK Puram has been organising an inspirational lecture since 1995 in presence of his family and friends. Since 1999, an award has been instituted in his loving memory by his parents. This award is given to exceptional students, who not only excel in academics and co-curricular activities but also display a strong moral fibre.
The Vice Principals, Mr. Naresh Miglani, Mr. Anil Kumar Kathuria and Mr. Mukesh Kumar, G. Bhaskar’s father, Mr. Ganapati Raman and brother, Mr. Ramnath G. along with other family members were present during the ceremony. This year, Shri.
