Mailer

This is the mailer sent to my contacts through email,.

Hi there,

Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year!! For those of you who do not know me, I have given a small introduction about me at the end of this letter.



Well at the outset, a lot of people have at different point of time taken charge of starting this DAV Alumni Group. But effectively we have not been able to do much in this regard. I recently got an opportunity to visit school and spend some time with our teachers after quite a long time. During the course of meeting, I could see that this school has come a long way from the one on cenotaph road.

During my meeting with the teachers too, I saw a lot of new faces. Only 2/3 teachers from the old batch remain. They were reliving the moments of joy that we’ve had in the old school… and then they started telling me that now all facilities are available here, but that camaraderie, that x-factor that was there between the students and the teachers, is now missing and asked me to do something about it.

I delved deeper and came to know that very less no of students are taking part in Co-Curricular and Extra –Curricular activities and also there is little or no support from the parents.


Well this is the schools opinion; ask the students and the parents they’ll tell us their version of the story. Still this needs to be addressed and as Alumni of this school, it becomes of us to do so. Well, of course our tenure as students in DAV was not entirely rosy; we have had our share of bad /worse moments as well, but now, when every one of us is on a high in his /her career, the moment we think of DAV, we feel warm at heart. This needs to percolate down and the “ALUMNI CLUB” is one of the ways this is possible.

So, when a lot of people have already been through this what new am I suggesting? You may ask. This is not an oft-repeated general mailer about getting your contacts, making a database and stuff like that. The DAV Alumni Club is going to be a family, with a difference.

No Alumni parties, no activities , no get togethers……then what ???


We will be Mentoring the kids in DAV in whatever way possible. I am sure the people this letter reaches to are currently on the way to achieving excellence in their Career and it is time for us to share and teach this to our young friends in DAV so that it may help them and in the process help us as we grow only by sharing our knowledge .


We have formulated an action plan for this. And enclosed is a format which you are required to fill up and send by email to neelanjandevbharadwaj@gmail.com


Yes. It is a detailed process and will require some of your time, but keep in mind, you are going to be a guide and a mentor to a kid who may go on to win (maybe the Nobel Prize!!) and many such laurels to his/her school, his/her family , his/her nation and more importantly his/her mentor, YOU !!

Please do fill up the enclosed format and send it across to me asap. (ppl viewing it on the blog , please send me an email with your name, phone no and batch details, will mail the format to you !)


We will update you of our first exclusive meetup on our blog – davparivar.blogspot.com


Thanks & Advance wishes for a prosperous Pongal,
