The fair was equally an occasion to showcase the talents that exist within DPSI, with students displaying their singing, modelling, dancing, public speaking abilities to an ecstatic audience made up of the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, and Director of DPSI, Mukesh Thakwani.

An obviously excited Sam George, in a brief address during the event, said it was refreshing to note that the school took extracurricular activities seriously.

He commended the school for the manner in which it had trained its students academically which has helped DPSI to win many international awards.

He spoke about the high level of unity existing in the school which has over 700 students from 28 countries across the world, saying the level of unity in the school was worthy of commendation.

He urged the students to take their education seriously for a successful future.

Mr. Thakwani, speaking to the media on the sidelines of the occasion, said the funfair was growing bigger and better each year.

He said what distinguished DPSI from other learning institutions was its ability to build the confidence level of its students through such extracurricular activities.

Earlier, Mr. Thakwani dedicated the evening to students of DPSI, saying to them “thank you, students, for also building the confidence in me.”

He reiterated his pride whenever he stood before the students, whose confidence level he seems to be madly in love with.
