April brings with it

the promise and

hope of new

beginnings, and we

start the new

academic year firmly

resolved to take

CMS education to

greater heights in 2017-18!

I am delighted to report that CMS

students’ study-abroad successes

continued to grow throughout March,

with the number who have received

offers of admission at foreign

universities in the US, UK, Germany,

Australia, etc. having risen to 51 pupils.

Among the several highly desirable

offers received in March, the best is

perhaps a full scholarship admission

offer by Yale University (an Ivy League

US university) to Saksham Mehrotra of

CMS Gomti Nagar 1 campus to study

Computer Science. The estimated value

of this offer over the 4-year degree is

just under Rs. 2 crore! Shubh Agarwal of

the same Campus I became India’s

topper in the SAT Exam, getting the

second highest possible mark globally,

which attracted much media attention

nationally. This score portents excellent

university offer to Shubh in the autumn

2017.

Environmentally, our students have

made us proud, with a CMS Mahanagar

student team winning the Bronze

Beaver Award for their sensitive film

‘Gauraiya, the Great Indian Sparrow’ at

the National Science Film Festival in

Kolkata.

CMS Asharfabad campus – a beacon of

development in this very special area –

moved into its brand new building,

which parents are delighted with!

Looking ahead, the Career Fest on 23

April will offer senior students the

excellent opportunity to find out about

the varied professions by meeting, and

asking questions of, leading experts in

various fields/occupations who will be

present there.

From 5th April, our mega Children’s

International Film Festival (ICFF) at CMS

Kanpur Road, will show 1496 best

educational children's films from 102

countries free of charge to students of

CMS as well as other schools!

ENLIGHTENMENT APRIL 2017 (2)

Message from Mr Roshan GandhiDirector of Strategy, CMS

CMS celebrated Commonwealth Dayon 6th March with great enthusiasm,on the theme ‘A Peace-BuildingCommonwealth’. CMS joined theintergovernmental organisation’s 52countries in praising their commoncommitment to ideals includingworld peace, representativedemocracy, equality, and humanrights.

At CMS, we share a commitment tothese noble aims. Dear students: you are regularlyexposed to such concepts through World Parliaments,World Peace Prayers, and All-Religion Prayers in frequentevents celebrating unity. But after the long practices andrepeated performances which are necessary for spreadingthese important messages in the high-quality, impressive,and effective manner that you always do, it is possiblethat you might stop actively thinking about the meaningbehind the words you are saying.

Now, however, it is more vital than ever that yourecognise not only the theoretical desirability of thesevalues, but also their practical relevance. As evidenced byrecent elections in the US, Europe, and elsewhere, aglobal political atmosphere is growing which emphasisesdivisions, reinforces polarisation, and inflames people’sirrational fears about trivial differences of nationality,colour, or religion. As the next leaders of society, it is yourresponsibility to reverse this trend.

Reflect, therefore, on the principles of unity you havebeen taught at CMS, and consider how you might applythem in your daily lives. No effort is too small: a valuablecontribution may take the form of checking a familymember who makes a narrow-minded statement, or juststarting a meaningful conversation amongst your friendsto raise awareness. Take a stand against prejudice, andbecome an agent of change to create a better future foryourselves and all children.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” —Aristotle

STUDY ABROAD APRIL 2017 (4)

A. I think CMS has had a big impact on

where I am today and the values I hold.

It has helped me create a broad

perspective about everything. It has

given exposure in form of extra-

curricular activities, international

events, CISV camps and encouraging

students to study abroad. It has helped

me identify and strengthen some of my

skills which I never knew existed in me.

Q. How did you manage your finances?

Any pointers to the aspiring students?

A. I have an annual 3000 Euros scholarship

from UCD which helped me a lot in

managing my expenses. To cover up the

rest of my expenses, I took up a bank

loan.

Q. Lastly, do you have a word of advice to

any prospective CMS students who are

planning to study overseas?

A. If any student is planning to study

overseas and is very passionate about

it, I would just advise them to go for it. It

is not only about the education you get

here but also about the overall

experience. It will be difficult initially,

but you will get to learn a lot from

people with different cultures and

backgrounds.

and warm hearted. My roommates in

my apartment and my classmates have

always helped me with everything.

Education here in Ireland is very

different and I never had a problem in

adjusting. It is like home away from

home.

Q. Will you come back to India after your

undergrad or do you plan to continue

abroad? If yes, what have you planned?

A. I plan to work for a few years after I

complete my undergrad abroad. I also

plan to do my Masters after working for

a few years. But in the end, I would

always want to come back to India.

Q. Could you tell us briefly about your

home background – such as your

parents' occupations, socio-economic

status, etc.?

A. I live in a family of four along with my

father, mother, and an elder sister. My

father is a Practicing Chartered

Accountant and my mother is the

Principal of one of the CMS branches.

My sister is currently in her last year of

B.Arch.

Q. How has CMS education impacted your

choices and decisions in life so far?

What about your choice to study

abroad?

Interviews of CMS students studying abroad

welcome to explore any other field they

are interested in and can choose it as

their elective module. We are taught

how to deal with real-life situations

that may come across during our

career. The curriculum gives us a vast

exposure in the form of Internship

programs and exchange opportunities

to different universities outside Ireland.

Q. Are you comfortable away from home

at such a young age? What do you miss

in your new ‘home away from home’?

(Are you missing Mum’s food?)

A. It’s been 5 months away from home but

I have created a home for myself here.

People in Ireland are very friendly and

open so I never felt I was away from

India. Initially, leaving my friends and

family and starting a new life was

difficult but I have learnt to adjust. Even

in just 5 months, there have been so

many things to learn. I have learnt how

to cook Indian dishes for myself and my

friends here. I try and manage

everything on my own. I have started

enjoying living here even though I miss

my home sometimes.

Q. Did you find it easy to make friends

there?

A. Yes, it is. Irish people are very friendly

Avantika Pandey, alumna of CMS Mahanagar Campus studying in University College of Dublin, Ireland on €7000/annum scholarship

Q. Why did you want to

study abroad and

how do you think it

is different from

studying in India?

A. My dream of pursuing

further education

abroad grew when I

went for a CISV Camp to Germany in

Class V. I always wanted to experience

new things and try something different.

Meeting new people, living life

independently, managing my own

schedule and time was something I

always felt strongly about. Studying

abroad gave me a whole new

perspective of life. I have become more

self-confident. The whole concept of

education is different than what I had in

India. Studying Commerce has never

been more fun for me. Here, studies are

more practical than book-oriented. A

lot of team assignments are given

which help you meet new people all the

time. The curriculum is very interesting

and the professors become more like

your friend and mentors than just

teachers. They are willing to help you

with any difficulty you come across.

Here in UCD, students are not limited to

one field that they apply for. They are

Q. How did you manage your finances?

Any pointers to the aspiring

students?

A. Try building up your CV with not just

academics but extra-curricular as

well. This will be helpful in getting

good scholarships. Studying abroad

without scholarship can be a costly

affair so I recommend that try to get a

scholarship to cover your expenses.

Q. Lastly, do you have a word of advice

to any prospective CMS students who

are planning to study overseas?

A. Apply early and make a timeline to

get your essays done. Doing it last

moment is very hectic. Also do events

t h at w i l l e n h a n c e yo u r C V.

Universities look for students who

have performed well or at least done

things apart from academics.

International Law. But once studies

are done I would like to come back to

India to solve problems existing in

India.

Q. Could you tell us briefly about your

home background – such as your

parents ' occupat ions , soc io-

economic status, etc.?

A. I am from a middle-class family. Both

my parents are working.

Q. How has CMS education impacted

your choices and decisions in life so

far? What about your choice to study

abroad?

A. CMS made me aware of study abroad

application procedures. I also started

taking up many activities after joining

CMS which developed my interest in

off-beat fields as well.

because you have to do everything by

yourself; from cooking to cleaning. It

also teaches time management and

budgeting.

I miss food because it is not easy to

get it here and it is also very

expensive.

Q. Did you find it easy to make friends

there?

A. Since everyone is away from home, it

is easy to make friends. Also in an

international community people

interact to understand each other’s

cultures.

Q. Will you come back to India after your

undergrad or do you plan to continue

abroad? If yes, what have you

planned?

A. I plan on doing a specialization in

Sagarika Mishra, alumna of CMS Gomti Nagar Campus I studying in Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Japan on 80% scholarship

Q. Why did you want

to study abroad

and how do you

think it is different

from studying in

India?

A. Studying abroad

opens up more

avenues and gives us a global

exposure that is imperative to live in a

global society. The teaching pattern is

very different, unlike India the studies

are application based.

Q. Are you comfortable away from

home at such a young age? What do

you miss in your new ‘home away

from home’? (Are you missing Mum’s

food?)

A. It is not easy but studying abroad

makes one more independent

COMMONWEALTH DAY APRIL 2017 (5)

Prize-Winning Entries of Creative Writing Contest 'Power of Pen 2016-17' organized by CMS Editorial Department (Classes I & II)1st - My Family

I feel fortunate to be born in a family where values are inculcated from early childhood. I

belong to a middle class family. There are six members in my family - my

parents and elder sister and brothers. My parents are the head of the

family. Everybody respects them. They help us in our studies. My mother

tells me good stories. My father is a service man. He is sincere and hard

working. He always goes to office on time. My mother is a simple

housewife. She is soft-hearted and caring. She takes great care of us. She

looks after my brothers and sister. She does not care for her own comfort

as much as for us. She is religious and God fearing. Our family gives great

importance to values and morals in life. We are taught to respect our elders. There is peace,

prosperity and love in our family.

Suhani Rathore, II, Rajendra Nagar Campus III

2nd - My Hero in Life

We meet many people in our life. Among them, some are remembered for quite a long time

due to some qualities. For me, my mother is my hero. She is really a genius.

She cares for everyone is the family without caring for herself. She works

very hard all through the day.

She gets up at 5 in the morning, cleans the house, takes her bath and prays

to the Almighty. She makes breakfast and tiffin as well. She gives me a

glass of milk twice every day. My mother tells me to eat an apple daily to

be healthy.

She cooks very tasty food and other items for the whole family. She is a

national trainer of food preservation. My mother always speaks the truth. I love her very

much and I am really proud of her. She says, "Son, Honesty is the best policy!"

Anadi Charan, II E, Gomti Nagar II

2nd - My Summer Vacations

My summer vacations started from 14th May onwards. I was very excited as my family and I

planned to go to Nainital. After completing my holiday homework, we

went to Nainital. We reached Nainital on 22nd of May. It was like a dream

come true. I was amazed to see the beauty of mountains and valleys. We

stayed there for three days and visited many places like Naina Devi

temple, Naini Jheel, Bhimtal, Saattal, Kainchi Ashram, Ghora Khaal Temple

etc. I enjoyed a lot while boating in Naini Jheel.

Evenings in Nainital were quite cool and pleasant. In the evening, we went

to Mall Road. Mall Road was crowded with tourists. I bought beautiful

candles, key rings, shawl, tiara and famous 'Bal Mithai' from Nainital. I ate corn, momos,

Maggi and ice-cream there. I also enjoyed many adventurous sports like paragliding, river

crossing, bungie jumping, mountain climbing. I had a wonderful experience during our trip

to Nainital.

Radhika, II E, Rajendra Nagar Campus I

3rd - My Real Life Hero - My Mother

I would like to tell you about a hero in my life. She is the most important

creation of God, whose love is purest, strongest and most natural. She is

my mom - My mother. Do you know why God made moms? He made and

gave us moms as they take care of each one of us unconditionally. My

mother gave me life. She taught me to talk and walk. She is very brave and

courageous. She never runs away from problems and deals with them

patiently. She does everything for me from morning to evening. She is

most caring and takes care of me. She is always very helping. She helps me

and guides me for everything. I always feel happy and very comfortable with her. My mom is

really an ideal for me. I love you mom very much.

Ekansh Srivastava, Class I A, Aliganj Campus I

3rd - My School Picnic

I am so excited to tell you about my school picnic which I enjoyed with all my friends and

teachers on Children's Day. We all gathered in our school and then reached

the Zoo by bus. We really enjoyed the ride, we reached our destination all

singing and enjoying. Finally, we entered the zoo and were welcomed by

the twittering and chirping of birds. We walked up and down watching the

tigers, lions, bears, giraffe shut in cages. We heard the loud roar of the lion

and were very excited to see its cute cubs. We also saw snakes and

different kinds of fishes. The crocodile looked idle. By the time, we all were

hungry, so our teacher made us sit under a shady tree where we enjoyed our lunch. We

shared our lunch, and so had many different varieties to taste. After that, we played in the

garden and enjoyed different swings. Then, the saddest moment came. None of us wanted

to go back though we all were so tired. This was the picnic I will cherish throughout my life

and want many more in the years to come.

completed his M. Com from the

University of Lucknow in First Division,

and went on to earn a Ph.D. along with a

Diploma in Public Administration. An

eminent and highly respected figure of

gauged by the fact that he was re-

elected as the Mayor of Lucknow for the

second consecutive term in 2012 with a

huge margin of over 1.71 Lakh votes,

highest ever in the urban local body

elections anywhere in the world. His

huge public following and impeccable

public image led to his appointment by

the BJP leadership to the post of

National Vice-President of the party, a

position which he holds till date. He was

subsequently entrusted with the

responsibility of Election Incharge for

Bhartiya Janta Party for Gujarat State

during 2014 General Elections.

Among the many challenging

mention are Vice Chairman, Tourism

Pradesh; Member, Executive Board, Lok

Nayak Institute of Physical Education,

Pradesh; Vice Chairman, Finance

Committee, First Asian Games,

have been recognised both nationally

and internationally. He has been

conferred the ‘Most Hon’ble Mayor’

award at the World Mayor Conference

held in Jerusalem, Israel, the

‘Ambassador of Peace’ award from

Universal Peace Federation, South

Korea, ‘ICNYP’ award by the

International Council for Youth Affairs,

Dr Sharma has authored 5 books and

published 40 research papers on

served as the managing editor of 'Sewa

Chetna Journal' 'Dharm Kaliyug', and

‘Attention’. He has attended various

international seminars and conferences

in USA, Japan, Mauritius, Israel, Nepal

and other parts of the world.

Recently, Dr Dinesh Sharma has been

appointed Deputy Chief Minister of U.P.

which is an honour for all the people of

Lucknow and a singular honour for his

alma mater, CMS. We wish Dr Sharma all

success and hope that in his astute

leadership, the state will progress in

leaps and bounds and become the

foremost state of the Indian Republic.
