A Week of Passion, Teamwork, and True Sportsmanship

A week of passion, teamwork, and true sportsmanship! The annual sports meet is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events on our school calendar.

It is a day where the competitive spirit of every student, teacher, and participant shines brightest, transforming the school ground into a vibrant arena of athletic powers. It is a celebration of physical fitness, teamwork, and school unity.

Pushing Limits, Building Champions

Here, at Dev Memorial Public School, every day is a step forward towards greatness. From the track to the field, our students embody perseverance, teamwork, and the drive to succeed.

We believe in fostering an environment where young athletes challenge themselves, grow stronger, and unlock their true potential—both on and off the field.

“Because every champion starts with a dream.”

The Grand Commencement

The day begins with a great opening ceremony, where we first welcome our highly honourable and respected chief guests: Mr. Ashok Dhyanchand (Former Indian Hockey Captain), along with Mr. Anirudh (Co-founder & CEO, Big Cricket League) and Mr. Vinay Kumar Singh (Joint Secretary, AKFI).

Weeks of practice culminate in our well-choreographed march past and drill by our four houses. It is discipline, teamwork, and focus in students, shaping their character both in school and beyond. These synchronized moments teach the value of unity, respect for rules, and the strength of working together towards a common goal—a foundation for lifelong success.

A solemn highlight is the lighting of the sports torch. Carried out by outstanding athletes, the flame symbolizes the spirit of friendly competition and great excellence, marking the official opening of the games.
