officials of AEES for their continued support and guidance.

I will fail in my duty if do not mention the names of my Vice-Principal and Head mistress for

their constant help and guidance. I feel highly indebted to both of them.

A school is not known for its palatial building and the modern gadgets installed inside its Labs.

The name and fame of a school depends upon the team of dedicated teachers working in it. I

would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the staff members such as teacher,

administrative staff, MTS and Cosmetic staff working in the school for their constant support in

bringing up the school.

The parent community of the school also deserves special mention for their whole-hearted co-

operation. I also extend my thanks to all the students in this auspicious occasion.

I also express my thanks all the departments of DCSEM, TTM-IV and Electrical division

for their help and support. Thanks to Sunil Decorator.

Continuous effort ---- not strength or intelligence ----- is the key in unlocking our

potential.

Keeping this determination and aim in achieving our goal, we the family of AECS – 5 is

marching forward to excel in all fields.

Jai Hind.
