To seek divine blessings for its students in view of the upcoming Panjab University Examinations 2022 and in keeping with its tradition of performing havan at the beginning of every month, Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women, Chandigarh organised havan yajna here today. H.R. Gandhar, Vice President, DAV College Managing Committee, New Delhi and Mrs. Sudesh Gandhar, Senior Governing Body Member of various DAV institutions graced the occasion with their presence and wished the students for the upcoming exams. Expressing appreciation for the college’s endeavour to instill a strong value system and spiritual intelligence among students, Sh. H.R. Gandhar asserted that besides intelligence quotient and emotional quotient, it is imperative to enhance one’s spiritual quotient. He further added that the students should be appreciative of the fact that they are a part of an institution like MCM that has a special aroma of ethos, ethics, culture, and values. He also advised the students to be grateful to their parents for their sacrifices and untiring efforts, and to the teachers- the priests of knowledge for guiding them on their path to success. In his motivational address, Sh. Gandhar urged the students to develop in themselves the qualities of compassion, confidence, determination, perseverance, tolerance, focus and much more for carving a niche for themselves. Prayers to the holy fire amidst chanting of shlokas and mantras soaked the atmosphere in divinity. The staff members whose birthdays fall in the month of June were also blessed with garlands on this occasion.
