DRAMATICS
After the string of interruptions caused by the Covid pandemic in the last couple of years, the Dramatics Club CCA started
with renewed vigour and excitement. Although the number of students who enrolled for this CCA was less than the expected
number, the exchange of ideas and the activities that happened did make for a promising start. Role plays, acting games like
‘People, Secrets, Places’, Four Lines and a Story and the Lie Detector Game, were few of the highlights of the sessions that
focused on learning outcomes like creativity, storytelling, critical thinking, improvisation, emoting, collaboration and so on.
30
2022
The quality of the sessions gained traction with each passing week and served as a reminder of the paramount importance of
dramatics in the overall development of the students’ fraternity.
HERBAL GARDENING
The tall trees on the campus of the Welham Boys’ School speak volumes about the environment awareness among the students.
Keeping this in mind, a few years back, Herbal Gardening was started as a Co-Scholastic Activity. Our herbal garden is a great
place to work together and grow herbs. The activity is beneficial for students as they research, discuss and share information
about herbs. It also instills a sense of belongingness in the students.
This year the students focused on growing stevia, turmeric, peppermint, aloe vera and lemon grass. They were happy to harvest
Basil which they had grown ea
rlier. The technique of drying herbs for future purposes proved to be a great learning and an enriching experience for all.
CHESS
The Chess CCA students have again started taking part in various tournaments during this academic year after a gap of two
years due to Covid. Our boys participated in the Scindia School Online Chess Tournament. The team consisted of Shivam,
Yugav , Aaditya Kharkia, Nehal and Yashasvi. Welham Boys’ bagged the 6th rank out of 13 participating schools. Yugav
Bhatia was ranked 6th.
The first offline interschool chess participation during this academic session took place in the Wynberg – Allen Mussoorie
Chess Tournament. The team comprised 6 participants namely, Yugav , Aaditya Kharkia, Pratham Chowdhury, Devvardhan ,
Atharva and Harshvardhan. Our players contested enthusiastically. Yugav Bhatia and Devvardhan reached the semi-finals.
Our boys played the Inter house chess tournament with a lot of zest and enthusiasm. I wish them all the best for the new session.
DANCE
This year, the dance team participated with immense enthusiasm in a lot of dance related activities. Since these mainstream
events were occurring virtually, it was an unprecedented challenge for the students to perform online. However, despite this
predicament, the dance team developed phenomenally.
This year, the dance team participated in the Milestone, hosted by St. George’s College. The team got an opportunity to
showcase their talent after a hiatus of two years and also competed with premier schools from across the Uttarakhand region.
Moreover, the dance team also presented the ‘Flash Mob’ at WELMUN’22 and a few other events. We received positive
feedback from the audience on these performances and it encouraged us to practise even harder. The exposure gained this year
in the field of dance will only propel us to move from strength to strength in the future.
This time more focus was laid upon introducing new elements and using creativity in dance while at home. This encouraged
the dancers to, quite literally, think on their feet and self-choreograph some displays. Despite staying at home, the dance
culture at Welham remained intact courtesy the great effort put in by all students
MOTOR MECHANICS
The students in the Motor Mechanics CCA learn about various effects of automobiles such as designing, cutting, painting,
cleaning, fitting, drive axle, gear shift, brake, filter, oil and coolant etc. The students take a lot of interest and are learning about
the function and design of automobiles.
Apart from the above-mentioned areas of learning, the students in motor mechanics CCA also learn how to change the tyres of cars.
31
Welham Boys’ School
The excitement of the students is demonstrated in their involvement in planning the new designs of cars. The boys come up
with new and innovative ideas and give valuable suggestions.
BIRD WATCHING
Birding in Welham Boys' School has found renewed interest during the pandemic. If COVID brought us chronic despair, the
avian residents showed us bright hope by flying high in the toughest of times.
Love for birding is inculcated right from the initial days of Junior School and goes on to become a regular habit in day-to-day
life. Many species were seen for the first time as the world came to a complete standstill during the pandemic and they have
been documented in publications for posterity.
Over a hundred species of birds have been identified in the pristine school campus and we hope to discover more in the future.
The captivating silence, blooming flowers, ambrosial lawns, and feathered creatures at their chirpy best teach us a zillion
thing. Birding instills patience in us and teaches us how to appreciate beauty in its various facets and hues.
We hope to make Birding a more popular activity so that students enjoy not only observing birds nestling in the shades but also
create sustainable places for them on campus.
PHOTOGRAPHY
“A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words”- Ansel Adams
We are very proud that the photography club has diversified with every passing year. With immense endeavor and constant
support, our President, Arjun Arora, has taken the photography club to a new pedestal which includes advancement in
photography skills, using better technology and participation in competitions. The club activities commenced in the year 2022
by participation in “Spectrum” an event hosted by the Unison World School wherein Arjun Arora, and Chiraag Bhargava
bagged the award for the Motion Photography event. Arjun Arora also participated in the Kamera Obscura event hosted by
Welham Boys' School, in which he was awarded first place in the senior category. The rest of the club has shown their
dedication by capturing each and every event hosted on campus.
As it is rightly said, “An eye must first learn to listen before it sees”, we, as the senior members of the photography club feel
proud that even the beginners have started getting the trick of what to capture and when to capture. The earth is an art and the
photographer is only a witness. Our photographers have relied upon this statement completely.Photography is a way of
feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever, it remembers little things, long after you have
forgotten everything!
INDIAN MELODIC INSTRUMENTS
CCA is an integral part of our school curriculum. There are five students in senior and middle school Melodic Instruments
32
2022
CCA and one student in junior school. In Indian Melodic Instruments Club students get an opportunity to learn Sitar, Santoor
and Xylophone. They also learn Indian classical music and as well as different compositions of different musicians along with
traditional renditions of different ragas in different talas. Every year, CCA students exhibit their talent in the form of live stage
performance during the Founder’s Exhibition.
CYCLING
Cycling has found its special place in the list of adventure activities undertaken by students at Welham Boys' School. One of
the best and most economical forms of exercise, cycling has always been a popular activity. Boys have shown immense love
and passion for the sport by participating in numerous cycling expeditions across the length and breadth of the country on
tough terrains. Cycling CCA aims to make students physically and mentally strong and promote a healthy lifestyle.
PAPER RECYCLING
Recycled paper is converted into handmade paper in the Paper Recycling Unit of the school. It engages students to perform
different tasks so that paper can be made. Students learn to make pulp using a Beater Machine from shredded paper. The pulp
paste is immersed in water so that it can spread over thin cotton cloth. To improve the quality and texture of paper we add
colour, cotton or fibre depending upon the requirement. Apart from this, these clothes with pulp spread all over are compressed
in the Screw Press Machine. The water is removed from these clothes when they are pressed. Subsequently, these are then kept
for drying under the sun. The dried uneven papers are put in the Calendar Machine to be pressed into glazed sheets.
Glazed papers are then cut into proper shapes and sizes. All students have hands-on experience to get a sense of the process of
making handmade paper from waste paper. Students enjoy and learn to make different kinds of handmade papers. We have
recently started making diaries, folders and bags from the handmade paper produced at the unit.
WELHAM NEWZ
Welham News functions as CCA where students are taught skills of shooting, editing and sequencing to produce short films.
Students become familiar with the range of possibilities offered by the technical equipment we possess and learn how to make
appropriate choices for each situation. They become equally adept at camera work and editing, presenting a finished piece that
reaches professional standards.
The Year 2022 proved to be yet another successful year marking the glorious 18 years of Welham Newz. The year began with
the Inter-house Film Making Competition at the spring festival followed by the WELMUN edition. The team also produced a
Short Film for the batch of 1954 creating a sense of nostalgia for the ex-welhamites. Apart from in-house productions, the team
participated in the Film Making Competitions hosted by Vasant Valley and Doon International School where the team
emerged victorious in both the competitions. The short film narration and visualizing school activities is one of the most
creative audio-visual tools for multimedia education.
The Welham Newz team participated in a Film Appreciation Workshop in Kasiga School where they were introduced to the
narrative and stylistic techniques used in filmmaking in order to understand how meaning is constructed, conveyed, and
interpreted in a film.
The FTII-Film and Television Institute of India conducted a Basic and Advance Filmmaking Course for students of
Middle and Senior School from 9th-13th May 2022. The course was led by Ritesh Taksande, a veteran filmmaker known for
his contribution to the field of films and a resource person for FTII- Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, a CFOL
initiative.
The Basic and Advance Courses introduced the students to the basics of technology, theory, history, techniques, and
applications of filmmaking and photography. During the five days course, students learnt the basics of Script Writing,
Screenplay, Storyboard, Camera Operation, Shooting, Editing, and a lot of post-production techniques. At the end of the
course, students produced short films which were submitted for film festivals across the globe. Welham Newz continues to
progress towards greater heights.
PUBLIC HEALTH
Monitoring of community water supply is very important to assess the safety of the water distributed to the consumer so that he
is consistently and reliably protected from the health hazards of contaminated supplies. Monitoring is an investigative activity
undertaken to identify and evaluate factors associated with the community water supply
33
Welham Boys’ School
Under “Public Health and Water Quality Testing” students were apprised of some toxic elements and compounds which are
found in potable water collected as samples from different water points. A simple water testing kit helps them to estimate and
detect various factors such as pH, turbidity, Dissolved oxygen, Chloride, Fluoride, Phosphate ions in drinking water.
Students are taught the importance of “TDS (Total Dissolved Solutes)” in water collected from different RO systems installed
in school. They collected water from supplies and found that the TDS level was very high in Dehradun due to the presence of
Calcium ions in water. High level of Calcium salts in water supplied in Dehradun has always been a health issue for local
residents as it causes Kidney stones. The students also collected water from different RO points and found low value of
hardness hence they learnt the use of Reverse Osmosis systems as it removes the extra salts and make the water fit for drinking.
Water Quality Testing is an Investigatory Project for Senior Secondary students. They will be representing the process in the
upcoming Founder’s Exhibition to spread awareness among other students and their families.
QUIZZING CLUB
Quizzing at Welham Boys’ commenced with immense enthusiasm post pandemic with students coming back to school. The
interactive sessions conducted by the quizzing club furthered the knowledge level and interests of the students. Quizzes were
conducted at classroom level which helped in the selection of participants for Intra School and Inter School competitions.
Raghav Agarwal, the quizzing captain organized quizzes across various levels of the school and motivated students with the
conduct of regular meetings post dinner. The efforts put in by the outgoing quizzing captain Aarav Upadhyaya even till the end
of his tenure has been commendable. The school participated in the CBSE Sahodaya Online Inter School Quiz competition.
Anagh Bajaj, Rajshree Olivia Samanto and Gauransh Goyal secured the second position in the competition. The club along
with the teachers in charge of the activity in School are looking forward to more active quizzing in the year 2023.
BUSINESS CLUB
The Business Club has been working extensively towards creating awareness amongst students about the functioning of the
business world. The club has come a long way since its inception. During the term, the Business Club conducted fruitful
discussions on themes comprising the future of the EV Industry, sustainable growth and the significance of the stock and
derivatives market in the financial world.
The Business Club conducted an entrepreneurship campaign where students had to present various start-up models. Five start-
up models were presented involving extensive research and deliberation. This helped the members of the Club to understand
the entrepreneurial skills required for growth of any business.
The Club also focuses on the financial literacy, which primarily include discussions on various types of investments, passive
income creation and financial services provided by the government. The Business Club CCA time was largely utilised for
stock market speculation and investing. Students were taught how to use fundamental and technical analysis to their
advantage.
Participation Details:
1) The Business Club conducted the Inter-House Stock Exchange event in which Krishna House emerged as the winner.
2) The club also conducted middle and senior school Business Quizzes that were based on general business acumen.
3) 45 students participated in the International Finance Olympiad and 30 students participated in the Wharton Global
Investment Competition.

2022
initiated with the idea of installing the spirit of taking the ‘Welham Initiative’ further forward, so as to create a dedicated band
of students who can even contribute in the annual execution of the Military History Seminar. As a result, the students of the
club played a pivotal role in the preparation and conduct of the 6th edition of the Military History Seminar 2022 as they were
involved in multiple activities. All the students who had opted for the MHC could not be accommodated, but nevertheless, all
of them still came forward in droves to volunteer for tasks, so much so that assigning responsibilities for them itself became a
major learning exercise by itself. In all 100 plus students were involved. As a result, the students of the club were involved in
activities ranging from conducting interviews of the resource personnel to writing articles for the upcoming journal. In fact,
the entire journal is to be brought out by them, which will include students being assigned to design the layouts, Colour correct
and also edit themselves. The club also held sessions with the renowned military historian Mr. Shiv Kunal Verma who further
guided them how to obtain information related to geo politics and military issues. The club also saw distribution of ‘Marigold’
a collection of war poems written by the 1971 War Hero Major General Ian Cardozo, who was kind enough to have the book of
poems reprinted and sent to every member of the club as a special gesture. The club plans to take the learning to a new level by
engaging the students with stories about warfare and visits to places of military importance around the Doon Valley in the
future. Various authors have also promised to send their inscribed books to the club, and these books will become a valuable
part of the Welham library where a section is being created to display them.
VIOLIN
The violin CCA has picked up in popularity with many middle and junior school students opting for the instrument. The
violinists are always excited to perform as part of the Ensemble.
HARMONICA
The Harmonica or Mouth organ as it is commonly called is a very popular CCA with the junior and middle school students. It is
easy to carry. The students are learning to play many iconic tunes. Some of the students from this CCA have always been a part
of the Ensemble at Founder’s Day.
DRUM
The drum CCA is very popular with the boys and has churned out some excellent drummers for the school. The drummers
display their skill at the Inter-House Music Competition and leave the audience spell bound. The drummers have always been a
part of the School Band and the Ensemble.
GUITAR
The guitar CCA is one of the most popular CCAs among the boys. The boys who opt for this, learn to play the acoustic rhythm
guitar and the electric lead guitar.
The CCA has 2 sections-- one for beginners and the other for advanced learners to make the learning process more fruitful and
meaningful.
The beginners are given a basic knowledge of chords and in due course they learn to play many songs and hymns based on the
strumming patterns taught to them.
The advanced learners are taught the nuances of playing the lead on an electric guitar as well as an acoustic guitar.
On Founder’s Day each year, the boys put up the Music Factory exhibition and entertain the audience with many popular
songs. It is always one of the most popular amongst the plethora of exhibitions!
DTP
Desktop publishing (DTP) is the use of personal computers to design books, Magazines, booklets, visiting cards, greeting
cards and other printed materials that are intended to be printed by reproduction machines or ink jet or laser printers. The
software that supports desktop publishing has a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) graphical user interface (GUI).
Desktop publishing is especially helpful as an independent publishing option and can be used to produce information on a
35
Welham Boys’ School
variety of topics.
The Welham Boys’ School is using Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, Microsoft Word, and Adobe Acrobat as
software to make students understand the power of DTP. Apart from desk top publishing we can also utilize the features of
CorelDRAW and Photoshop in contrast and brightness adjustment of photographs, color balancing, adding special effects like
power-clips, welding, trimmings and adding borders to images. It can work with multiple layers and multiple pages.
The school initiated the DTP- CCA keeping in mind the creative capability of our boys. The boys are already engaged in in-
house publications like Oliphant, Sankalp, Wavelength, Politicia, Innoventure, and various other in-house magazines,
Booklet (Protocol with grace) and brochures for Founders Day, one-act play, interhouse music competition, etc. to name a few.
The in-house printing unit was installed six years ago in 2016 with Toshiba e-Studio 2050c and Duplo DP-U650 machines and
this year a new machine HP Colour LaserJet Managed MFPE78330 was included to further enhance the printing quality of
school productions. These machines have encouraged the boys to showcase their talent in designing and printing of certificates
for all occasions, invitation cards, program schedules for WELMUN, Military History Seminar and Oliphant Debates etc.
These publications require text and graphical designs for their articles and creativity. The DTP CCA helps our production
team in improving the professional quality of the articles.
The invitations for the Founder’s Day and Principal’s invites for many occasions are also designed and printed in-house using
DTP. In this, CCA students desig and edit two-dimensional images such as logos, clip-arts and posters.
The students will also be getting an opportunity to showcase their work by displaying the work done throughout the year on the
notice boards of IT Lab. The editions of Oliphant, Sankalp, Innoventure and Politicia editions will be printed. The live
demonstration of reproduction machine will also be on display during the Founder’s Day exhibition.
TABLA
The Tabla CCA is taken up by students who are interested in percussion instruments. They are taught a variety of taals
according to their level of learning. They contribute by playing the Tabla in the morning assembly and at other music related
events. During Founder’s the students put up an exhibition to showcase their talent. The tabla students are an integral part of
the Ensemble which is exhibited at the Founder’s Day.
ASTRONOMY
It is said that a good start is half the job done, and this year at Welham Boys’ School we have made a good start in Astronomy.
Astronomy activities started this year with a new group of students who were taught to handle an 8-inch automated telescope
and within a short period of time they were able to assemble the telescope, start off with its initial alignment and operate the
telescope on their own to watch the celestial wonders in the night sky. The team is fully aware of the functions of the telescope,
i.e. light grasp, resolution and magnification. The students’ team also learnt the use of this telescope for photographing the
Moon and bright planets.
They are also trained to handle observation sessions for a large group of junior school students. This team of students have so
far organized four to five sessions for junior school students as well in which all the activities starting from installation of
telescope to observation and then clicking the pictures of celestial objects like Sun, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and its satellites was
performed.
Students take a lot of interest in astrophotography using 8-inch telescope along with DSLR camera. A small group out of these
students are regularly learning astrophotography and processing raw images clicked with the help of a telescope.
This year we conducted a telescope making workshop for the students. Very soon, by January 2023, the school hopes to have a
fully functional astronomical observatory with a large research grade telescope (A 14-inch celestron) permanently installed.
The objective is to have students conduct regular night sky observations, document changes on the Moon, planets, variable
stars and shoot deep sky images of nebulae and galaxies.

2022
ELECTRONICS
Meant to imbibe social skills, intellectual skills, moral values, personality progress, and character appeal to students both
implicitly and explicitly, Electronics continues to be one of the most sought after co-curricular activities at Welham Boys’
School. This activity is offered not only to the students of the middle and the senior school but also to the students in the
primary section. At present eight students from the Junior School and 15 students from the Middle and the Senior School form
our Electronics Club.
Students in the Junior School, after learning the art of soldering and increasing their acquaintance with the various electronic
components, have by now completed their basic projects on darkness and light alarm, automatic night light, electronic dice and
touch switch circuits. For the forthcoming Founder’s Day celebrations, they would be working on Heat Sensitive D.C fan
speed control circuits, wood burning machine for pyrography, bicycle lights and wireless energy transfer circuits.
Students in the Middle and the Senior school have worked on more complex projects like microcontroller based moving
message display, variable power supplies, interactive coffee table, inverter circuits (12V-230V) etc. and are presently
working on Light attracted/repelled robots and an audio bar graph generator for the forthcoming Founder’s Day celebrations.
CANDLE MAKING
Creative hobbies like candle making help students not only in developing their own artistic skills but also in engaging
themselves in fun filled activities. Candles serve as a daily household necessity and are also used on numerous occasions for
decoration purposes or simply lighting up the venue. Hence, they categorize as a mass consumption item and are widely used
all over the world.
Candle crafting polishes a child’s sharing skills when resources are involved and also teaches them to work in a cooperative
manner. Supporting ‘turn taking’ and developing a child’s patience teaches them to work as a team and about the fun of
learning new experiences.
Students design variety of candles such as wax candles, floating candles, jelly candles, diyas and more using different moulds
and then decorate them with colours. Special tools for candle making are provided and children are able to explore how colours
and smells change as the wax starts to change its form. They learn how the materials used can be reshaped by heat and learn
about the textures of the wax and other decorative resources. Children also get the platform for free, open discussions with
each other as well as with the teachers. Students enjoy this activity immensely and derive pleasure with considerable sense of
accomplishment. More than a hobby, candle making has become a form of art. Students have their own designs and ideas for
candles and in this case, no matter what design is created, it becomes a unique piece of art.
MUN
The students in this CCA discuss different global issues, rules of MUN procedure, and thereafter participate in different MUN
simulations. Eminent resource persons provide training and orientation to students in a range of areas related to MUNs so that
they are able to broaden their outlook and global awareness. Many students of the MUN CCA participate in a range of
international level and inter-school MUN events. Various skills such as research, public speaking, lobbying, diplomacy and
global awareness are developed through these experiences.
The school hosts WELMUN every year. Students take part in the event as delegates, Executive Board members and
Organizing Committee members. The Model United Nations CCA has developed exponentially over the past years, with
students growing increasingly concerned about matters of international peace and security, economics, and human rights. The
CCA group consists of students from grade 7 to 12. The younger students are very well coached by the seniors and this helps
the younger ones pursue their MUN interest taking it forward as they mature.
COOKERY
“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are so many notes or colours, there are only so many flavours—it’s
how you combine them that sets you apart.”– Wolfgang Puck
With this objective, the students at Cookery CCA boys indulged in making new dishes in this term and were keen on making
ice cream shakes and refreshing strawberry lime spritzers.
They also learnt to prepare cheese-grilled toast, bread, and potato gold coin along with peeling, chopping the vegetables and
cleaning the kitchen after the preparation. They were excited as they used various ingredients like Oreo biscuits and chocolate
37
Welham Boys’ School
BAKERY
Bakery-CCA has been an integral part of the co-curricular activities at Welham Boys' School. Interest in the same has grown
manifold in the past few years. Allowing children to explore and experiment with the ingredients to create new recipes and
magic in the kitchen has attracted boys in huge numbers. A vast range of savouries and sweets representing different cultures
have been baked and served to the students and visitors on special occasions. Recently, Bakery CCA students prepared sweets
and other eatables for the Old Boys who visited their alma mater on 15th October, 2022. As a team, we wish students to
acknowledge that chaos can be beautiful too. We aim to promote sustainable eating with an emphasis on minimum food
wastage.
SANKALP
The Hindi magazine 'Sankalp' provides an opportunity to the students interested in Hindi to showcase their writing skills in the
form of poetry and prose, be it an article, a story, or a thrilling experience. These writings also enrich the readers. Students not
only work upon their Hindi typing skills but have also started working hard towards designing cartoons and developing art
pieces for the magazine on various topics. “Nanhi Kalam” encourages young and budding writers to come up with new and
unique pieces of literature. Team Sankalp is striving continuously towards bringing to the fore new writing talent and
encouraging clear and vivid expression of thought and creativity.
OILPHANT
The Oliphant is the school's oldest running publication. It has always focused on providing students with a platform to express
themselves without fear or favour. We serve this purpose so that no voice is missed or suppressed. In the preceding year, we
have not only furthered these values but also added new dimensions to the 'voice of the students.'
This year, the editorial board successfully introduced the concept of 'themes' to The Oliphant. The theme system promotes
uniformity throughout the magazine and usually revolves around a certain set of emotions, thus, helping students in
determining what to write and how to write. This year, as usual, the popularity of the Oliphant increased, as more students
started looking up to our publication to put forth their interests be it through ‘Reviews’, ‘Lampoons’, or the infamous
‘Humour’ section. A new section titled 'Editor's Take' was added wherein the junior editors of The Oliphant were able to
express their thoughts on the specified theme.
To say the least, we’ve had a successful year, and it is certain that there’ll be many more to come. We would like to thank Mr.
Raunaq Datta, the Teacher-In-Charge for the Oliphant, for his unconditional help and guidance which has helped the board in
delivering no less than the stellar content. His support towards the magazine has been unwavering and extremely significant.
We believe that, in the years to come, The Oliphant will be able to cement its place as the flagship magazine of the school and
move steadily ‘from strength to strength’.
QUARK
The first edition of the newly launched Quark magazine was published in September 2022. Quark is the junior and middle
school science magazine and is the sister version of Wavelength in the senior school. The magazine aims to promote scientific
temper amongst the younger students and promote an outlet to their inquisitiveness, while at the same time maintaining a
simple language and layout to reach the junior students.
The first Baisakhi edition had ten articles encompassing different fields of Science. There was a special section called “Young
Scientist Thoughts” which highlighted the thinking of grade IV students. Students of grade V shared a poster collage section
on “Saving Earth”. Students from grade VI to VIII contributed articles and pictures for the magazine. The Editorial board
comprising of students from class VII and VIII really put in their earnest efforts to collect, edit and compile the articles in a
colourful magazine. The response from the students has been overwhelming and the next issue of the Quark magazine is ready
to be published, bigger and better.

Politicia is the Social Science Department publication which deals with political and social issues of the world. The purpose
of the magazine is to highlight national and international issues. The critical analysis of the global questions in particular,
help the students to comprehend the causes and consequences of the events. The students also become aware of the impact of
global politics on local politics. This year, the magazine focused on the ongoing Ukraine - Russia conflict, political
fluctuations in Europe, the occupation of Afghanistan by the Taliban, the demise of powerful leaders, etc. The magazine
propagated that peacebuilding and stabilization are the need of the hour. The Sri Lankan crisis and coup in Myanmar focused
on challenges faced by the international communities across the globe. Focusing on Internationalism helped students to learn
to write international stories. Thought provoking articles were presented on environmental concerns and the problems of
political parties.
Agastya Raj Pahwa is the student editor this year. Overall, it was a successful year for the magazine.
WAVELENGTH
Wavelength is a science magazine dedicated to providing age-appropriate, topical science news to all members of the
Welham family. A purely student driven initiative, it covers the most important and exciting research ideas and knowledge in
science, health and technology related to the environment and society.
Published biannually, Wavelength has short news stories and long features, all written with a vocabulary and sentence
structure aimed at readers between 13 to 18 years of age. The scope of the technical subjects dealt with and their tone has
captivated many older readers as well. Committed to sharing trustworthy knowledge and enhancing our understanding of the
world, the articles include not only topics of pure sciences but of other fields as well. Ironically, it has articles written even by
students who don’t pursue Sciences after Grade X - a fact which reflects upon the highly innovative teaching standards
followed by the school coupled with interest in day-to-day scientific application by individuals.
The magazine now also comes with a QR code and undergoes the rigorous exercise of ‘no plagiarism’ policy. Beginning with
our Founder’ s issue, we would be introducing a section on Research Papers wherein we would be sharing a brief synopsis of
various research works carried out by our students of Grade XII.
One of the most sought-after magazines, it is also sent to select Round Square schools across the globe.

orphans and underprivileged street children. They have identified cases, and are working on their strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats by observing development through Learning Objectives. We look at ways to upskill the street
children, whether that's through mentoring by our students, or by facilitating opportunities to learn from our school
teachers.

Infantry Brigade, being welcomed and escorted to the stage by the outgoing prefects led by the outgoing Head Boy
Viraj Lohia.
The blessings of the Almighty were invoked through the school prayer followed by the outgoing School Captain

and had presided over the Opening Ceremony, fielded questions about India’s indigenous projects, especially the LCA
(Tejas) and other aviation-related projects, including helicopters. Moderating both the opening and closing sessions was
Shiv Kunal Verma, the author of the books, 1962: The War That Wasn’t and 1965: A Western Sunrise. When pointedly
asked if the outcome of the conflict with China sixty years ago would have been different had the IAF been used in an
offensive role, there was no ambiguity in ACM Bhadauria’s reply: ‘I have absolutely no doubt about it!’ Incidentally, the
ACM had been the Air Chief during the stand-off with China in 2020. ‘I had no hesitation to even push the just inducted
Rafale into an operational role. The IAF was fully prepared to take on the Chinese.’
All three Service Chiefs… General MM Naravane, Admiral Karambir Singh, and ACM Bhadauria had met every
morning during the Eastern Ladakh standoff. Also present at the seminar was Lt General Harinder Singh, who was then
commanding the Leh-based 14 Corps. While the Air Chief said joint manship in the three services was getting a major
boost with the concept of Integrated Commands being put in place, Admiral Karambir said a lot more needs to be done
and required a top-down directive to bring all of the country’s resources to meet the challenges of ever-evolving threats.
In a heartfelt vote of thanks, Ms. Sangeeta Kain the Principal of the Welham Boys’ School underlined the fact that the
Military History Seminar was the brainchild of Mr. Darshan Singh, the Chairman of the school, and an initiative by
Welham Boys' to introduce school students across the country to a topic as nuanced as military history. The Principal
appreciated the efforts of Team Welham in conducting a flawless event and in particular thanked the Vice Principal,
Mahesh Shanker Kandpal, the seminar coordinator, Sana Durrani, and the Coordinator of Activities, Rajeev Bhatia.
Almost all participants echoed the sentiment that not only had Welham Boys’ broken new ground, but they had also done
an exceptional service by involving other schools as well.
Earlier, the Doon School educated Maj General Jagatbir Singh moderated the session with Col Ajay K Raina, Anirudh
Chakravartty and Shiv Kunal Verma on the Reactive Phase that encompassed the 1947-48 J&K Ops, 1962 and 1965.
Subsequent sessions saw other speakers that included AVM Manmohan Bahadur, Lt Generals KJ Singh, and General
Shankar Prasad. Vice-Admiral Pradeep ‘Billu’ Chauhan then presented a detailed presentation that brought out the
various aspects of maritime power.

Computer Programming
Student Head: Rishit Garg
There are various languages that enable people to communicate with one another, and this process of give and take is
the same between a computer and a programmer. Poetry in language is considered a high art, but to me, a finely
written piece of code holds all the creative energy of a great literary work. Even as each line of a poem conceals deep
meaning, each line of code has a larger place within the whole.
In this competition each participant was given a set of five questions. They would be judged on the following
parameters: Time Taken / Logical algorithm / Code Length / User Interaction / Correctness. The following were the
results:
