Poem by Preksha
Lament of a Poor Girl
My house is small
And the world's big,
I want to fly like a bird
And soar the blue sky.
I neither go to school
Nor do I study,
But I go to clean a place
Where my stern mistress stays.
My mistress has a daughter
And she lives like a princess.
She spends time window shopping
While I am home busy mopping.
She wears lovely dresses and gowns
Later which I get as hand-me-downs,
She goes everywhere in a car
But I ride bicycle with brakes ajar.
I too wish to go through such a stage
A life of riches, rubies and diamonds shining,
But no one's around in this rain
To hear a poor girl’s melancholic strain.
– PREKSHA SHAH (X – D )

Step towards Greener Earth
Conservation of Environment has always been Udgam’s prime motto. The school has left no stone unturned to initiate efforts that lead to a better environment. We at Udgam have introduced projects such as Rainwater harvesting, using Eco-friendly construction material, Waste management, paperless data storing and communication and many more to name. Our responsibility towards environment is not restricted to school and extends towards society at large.
As a part of this environment and social responsibility, Udgam has joined hands with project-Grow-Trees.com, set up by Pradip Shah, founder of CRISIL. Started in June 2010, the organization has been successful in attracting 50 companies and few thousand individuals to plant trees to commemorate birthdays, anniversaries or honour the employees. Udgam too plants trees to celebrate birthday of its teaching and non-teaching staff and students. They receive certificates mentioning the place where the tree is planted in the name of individual.
