Before we meet again next month we would like to leave you with the thoughts of our
Honourable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi. He said,
“The chances of success are higher when we create a sense of participation for everyone; when we
give everyone a stake in our success”.
Our success story at DPS Hyderabad is driven by every contributing member and we hope you
do the same in the sphere that you are working in.
Jai Hind!
