    Udai was very proud of his school

    They have come to terms with the loss of their only son and are now trying to keep his memories alive in their own special way. The parents of Shaurya Chakra awardee Maj Udai Singh, who was killed fighting terrorists in Kashmir in November 2003, are providing for the education of four girls at Army Public School, Dagshai -- Udai's alma mater.

    The girls lost their fathers, commandos from the elite 1 Para (Special Forces) -- also Udai’s unit -- in counter-terrorist operations. Col KK Singh (retd) and his wife Sudha travelled down to Dagshai from Noida on Wednesday to spend some time with the girls and attend the school's Founder's Day celebrations. Udai studied at the school from 1988-92.

    Col Singh told TOI, "Udai was very proud of his school. We want to make other children experience that pride. 1 Para suffered a lot of casualties in the Valley. There are kids who need help."

    The inspiration to support the girls came from the Ramachandrans in Mumbai, who are funding the education of needy children. They also lost their son, Capt R Subramaniam from 1 Para, in operations in the Valley three years before Udai was killed. ‘Subbu' and ‘Uddu' were best friends and were commissioned into the Army on the same day.

    The girls being supported by Col Singh and Sudha are studying in classes VI, VII and IX. Sudha said, "We are deeply attached to the girls. We keep in touch over the phone and exchange letters. In winter, they’ll visit us."

    Udais parents have learnt to put on a brave face, but returning to the school without him must be hard. Sudha said, "We met his teachers, friends and sauntered around the campus. But I couldn't muster the courage to visit his dorm."

    To relive the past, they took the girls out for a ride and treated them at a restaurant. The Singhs are setting up a trust to sponsor the education of children of soldiers killed in action.

    A member of Indian Public School's Conference, APS Dagshai was set up in June 1986 to provide quality education to wards of Army personnel.

    Virtual classrooms at APS Dagshai :19th founder’s day

    Dagshai, June 1
    Army Public School here has become one of the few schools to introduce virtual classrooms for offering satellite-based educational facilities to its students. A Very Small Aperture Terminal Network (V-SAT) link has been established at the school for the purpose.

    Stating this at the institute’s 19th founder’s day, the school Principal, Col A.K. Maini (retd), said this facility would open up a world of knowledge for the students and also help them prepare for competitive examinations.

    Addressing students, their parents and the faculty, General Officer Commanding 2 Corps, Lieut-Gen K.D.S. Shekhawat, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said children were the hope of the nation and the essential ingredients of national power. “All children have a major role to play if national power has to come into prominence,” he remarked.

    Towards this end, he exhorted students to strive for excellence in whatever field they chose. He stressed upon inculcation of discipline, professionalism and secularism in their lives. He also urged teachers to strive for creating a healthy environment for students which was free of tension and worry.

    In his report, Colonel Maini stated that this year 69 students appeared for the Class XII examinations and bagged a total of 104 distinctions. In Class X, 51 students appeared and bagged 80 distinctions. The Principal, however, added that there was scope for improvement in chemistry, economics and mathematics. The school has bagged a host of prizes in state and national level sports and co-curricular activities.

    General Shekhawat announced a grant of Rs 50,000 for upgrading facilities at the school. He also gave away prizes to students for their achievements in academics and co-curricular activities.

    The sports trophy was bagged by Patel House, while the athletics trophy went to Tagore House. The best kept house trophy and the best disciplined house trophy went to Indira and Subhash houses, respectively, while the academics trophy was bagged by Nehru House. Vandana Singh of Class XII was declared as the best allround student for the year 2004-05. Students were also given prizes for individual performance.

    A cultural programme consisting of songs, dances and an English play was presented by the students. A science, art and craft exhibition was put up in which models and works of art prepared by students during the year were displayed.

    Interesting peice of Dagshai History:MUST READ

    Mutiny in India, 1920


    When news of the Anglo-Irish War, especially of the behaviour of the British Black and Tan "Auxilliaries" (para-military police), reached the veterans of the 1st Btn at Jalandhar, India, the mutiny began. On 28 June 1920, five men from C Company refused to take orders from the British officers, declaring their intent not to serve the King until the British forces left Ireland. The Union Jack at Jullundur, on the North West Frontier, was replaced by the tricolour flag of the Irish Republic, stitched together by men who had bought lengths of material from the local bazaars. Within three days, the mutiny was stamped out and the mutineers taken to prison camp at Dagshai.

    At Solan, rumours began in the Rangers detachement there that the prisoners had been executed. Under the command of Private James Daly, about 70 Rangers joined the mutiny and attacked the armoury. The British guard successfully defended it: Privates Sears and Smyth were killed in firing while others were taken prisoners. On all, about four hundred men had joined the mutiny. Eighty eight men were court martialled for mutiny. Fourteen men were condemned to death, most of the rest were given prison sentences up to 15 years and a few were acquitted. For all except Daly, the death sentences were commuted to life imprisonment. Daly (21, of Tyrrelspass, County Westmeath), was executed by firing squad in Dagshai prison on November 2, 1920, and is the last member of British Forces to be executed for mutiny. Ptes Sears and Smyth were buried at Solan; James Daly and John Miranda (who had died in prison) were buried in Dagshai graveyard.
