I am compelled to express my deepest appreciation on behalf of team Jnana Prabodhini for your dedicated efforts in organizing and facilitating Varshant Upasana at DAV. To conclude this year-long journey from Varsharambha Upasana to Varshant Upasana , we reflect on our conviction regarding the indispensable role of this process in cultivating the Power of resolution ( Sankalpshakti ) among our students.
