moderated by Mr. Pranab Mukherjee. Mr. Suhel Seth, a well-known media personality and literary figure graced the
occasion as the Chief Guest. The Debate, based on extempore format, saw young speakers exhibit oratory skills and

in Modern School. It brings together budding entrepreneurs of different schools of Delhi and NCR. The event comprises
of four major competitions: Modern Stock Exchange, Ad-Dicted, Symposium, Quizzonomics. This year the Economics
Club made special efforts to take the event to the next level by adding new features to it. 15 top schools of Delhi & NCR
participated in this event. The Symposium comprised of heterogonous teams and gave the students a platform to
enhance their oratory as well as their acting skills! Quizzonomics gave qualifying teams equal opportunities to showcase
their talent. The Ad – Act, the most popular feature of the event, uses creative dramatic skills to advertise different
products. This year saw a twist, wherein the negative features of the product were highlighted thereby dissuading
people from buying them! The Guest Speaker was Mr. Ajay Lavakre, Managing Director of the India office of Risk
Management Solutions. The judges for the Competition were Ms. Juhi Hajela, Director Content at Make My Trip India,
Mr. Rajiv Bajaj, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Bajaj Capital and Mr. Rana Usman, Sr. Asst. Vice President/ Head

The dream of ‘self realization’ laid down by our Founder Late Lala Raghubir Singh is sought to be realized in Modern
School, Vasant Vihar by the provision of rainbow of socio-cultural activities to students. These opportunities enable the
students to manifest the best in themselves not only in terms of individual excellence but also in the form of collective
expression. I want to bring down the curtain on this year’s Annual Report by thanking the academic staff, the fine arts
teachers, the sport instructors, coaches, the administrative staff and the support staff for their commitment, sincerity
and devotion to duty, in keeping the flag of Modern School, Vasant Vihar flying high!
