October 10th, 2003 will be remembered as
a very special day in the history of M.G.D., as this day
witnessed the grand Inauguration and Felicitation Ceremony
of the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. The day started with
the arrival of her Highness Rajmata Gayatri Deviji Sahiba
of Jaipur to the School campus. As she got down from her
car, our principal Dr.(Mrs) G.D.Bakshi and Administrative
Officer Air Cmde.(Retd.) N.K.Mathur were there to greet
her.
Soon she got into a stately Cadillac, along with Dr. (Mrs.)
G.D. Bakshi and Air Cmde (retd.) N.K.Mathur. As the car
slowly inched its way forward, it was greeted by a row of
mounted riders dressed in their finest regalia. Students
awaited her. They showered flowers on her and shouted “Rajmata
Sahiba ki Jai” Jubilantly. At the site for
the Inauguration of the foundation stone ceremony, all the
members of the board of Governors, members of the M.G.D.
Guild, Senior teachers and students awaited her arrival
with alacrity. Her highness unveiled the foundation stone
while a soulful rendition of Ganesh Vandana sung in the
background along with the chanting of vedic mantras. This
was followed by tea after which Her highness was presented
the Guard of Honour by the NCC girls.
The traditional welcome accorded to Rajmata Sahiba by the
girls dressed in Rajasthani attire. Soon her highness offered
Poorna Ahuti to the ongoing Yajna. After lighting the Ceremony
lamp, the felicitation ceremony began. The felicitation
was followed by an entertainment programme and then lunch.
