Poetry is not just words strung together prettily, it is the expression of all that is good and beautiful in the world. And the Swatantrata poetry competition conducted by the Indian Consulate catered precisely to this very eloquent form of expression.

The theme of this year’s competition was ‘The role of students in the fight against tobacco, alcohol and drugs’. A very prevalent topic that pertained to the current situations we live in, and our students did complete justice to it.

Schools all over UAE had registered for this event, and DPS Sharjah is very proud to announce that out of the six prizes that was up for stake, DPS Sharjah bagged five of them.

The winners of the event are:

CATEGORY A (juniors): 2^nd prize- Diya Mazumdar (7G)

CATEGORY C (seniors):  1^st prize- Rohan Narula

DPS Sharjah is very proud of these young poets who have brought in laurels for the school.
