Commemoration of July 21st – Moon Day

·       Commemoration of July 21^st – Moon Day

            Under the aegis of DISHA –the CGCC unit of Govt. THS & VHS, Moon day was observed.  Selected student representative Arya and Adarsh familiarized students about the spectacular expedition made in the space shuttle Appolo 11 by Neil Arm Strong and Edwin Aldrin on July 21^st, 1969 at 1.48 am (Indian Standard Time).  It was summed up by stating that an American Flag was left on the Moon’s surface as a reminder of the great accomplishment and by quoting Neil Arm Strong’s historic words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for man kind”.  Adarsh of VHSE second year enlightened students on Chandrayan I, India’s first mission to Moon on October 22^nd 2008 at 6.22am from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.  He then stated that with this mission India became the 5^th entity to set foot on the moon. 

Besides this students turned up with outstanding models like MOON IMPACT and BRAHMOS Model.  Needless to say this celebration simply spotted the creative prowess of scientifically inclined minds.  They were also provided an opportunity to view a CD display on ISRO’s Chandrayan Mission in the VHSE seminar hall.  In addition to this a space quiz was conducted.  Collection of space literature was also assigned to students.  Teachers thus successfully drove home the importance of science and technology in life.
