JAAI Immediate Past President Dr. Devendra Singh honouring Dr. Shashi Tharoor M.P. with the JAAI-WUJA Lapel Pin today evening at St. Xavier's School Doranda, Ranchi's Auditorium.

Looking on is Immediate Past JAAI-Central Zone President Er. Shivendra Mohan Sharma.

Dr. Tharoor is an alumnus of St. Xavier's School, Park Steet Kolkata and Campion School Mumbai.

He recollected that he had come to SXD sometime in the 1970s to participate in an Inter-School Co-Curricular contest (elocution / extempore speech).

He answered some very interesting questions raised by the present students in an informal tete-a-tete.

His visit is a part of the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of SXD which shall culminate with the Grand Alumni Meet to be held on 18-19 December 2021.

St. Xavier's School Loyola Hall. APX & Loyola Parivar organized Aarti and Garba. It was a great event. Offline students not only came to learn but also to celebrate Navratri. Each day was allotted to particular class. Today being the last day we had  teachers' Garba. It was well organized. Prizes were distributed. Thanks to organizing committee. of course SOP was strictly observed.

It was awesome program amidst of Pandemic we are giving moral support in organizing events for parents, students and teachers. We have had nine wonderful days. The whole campus danced to its tune. The teachers and management did a good job.

We know, of all the things that mankind has, money holds an imperative place in this materialistic world. No one out there lends a penny without any motive. We suffered the same when our town, Sahibganj, was hit by floods. Thepandemic had already swallowed the lives of the bread winners of some families. Havingno work and nowhere to go, people had resorted to working anywhere to fill their stomachs, but who knew that they hadn't seen the worst yet. In the middle of August, the monsoon came in a deluge, wreaking havoc on people, killing those who were already close to death and oppressing the oppressed.

St.Xavier's School, Sahibganj, stands out as the epitome of love and care and has done a lot for the people during the Pandemic. We had thought of helping these people who were hit by the floods, but little did we realize thespectrum of tasks to be done to provide relief to the people.

Doranda Old Xaverians along with St. Xavier's School Doranda Organized a Blood Donation camp on 26th August 2021.
