THE SCHOOL INSIGNIA DASMESH PUBLIC SCHOOL, FARIDKOT
The school insignia is made up of a number of constituents with each constituent standing for an idea which when pieced together transmits a wholesome message to discerning viewer.
Out of two swords seen in the emblem, the one on the left represents the temporal power while the other one, a Kirpan; stand for ecclesiastical power. The Kirpan, as ordained to a Sikh, is meant to be used only when there is a challenge to his ‘Aan; that is self-respect. It is further ordained that the Kirpan is to be used, if at all, with utmost ‘Kirpa’ that is care and compassion and definitely not like a butcher’s knife. The First Guru who donned them first was Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth warrior Guru of Sikkhs.
Well ensconced between both the warlike weapons is a ‘Jot; a lighted lamp, mounted on a high pedestal. The lamp emits the light of pure and unblemished knowledge, the School is committed to disseminate among its pupils throughout.
Underneath and wedged between two sword-handles stands an open book with a quill-tucked inkpot in its fold. The book-pen-inkpot combine denotes educational effort the School is supposed to make to produce well-rounded humans in the finest educational tradition.
The back drop is justifiably provided by a ‘globe’ which symbolizes the vision of founders who intend their educational perception to transcend the political demarcation of countries. 21st century after all is an era of globalization and liberalization.
