Co-Curricular Activities
DDHA believes in holistic education and does not focus merely on academic growth of its students. In an age where besides academic excellence other aspects of a harmonious personality are also treated very important,  by incorporating several co-curricular activities into curriculum, strives to lend a cutting edge to the students and help them stand tall in the crowd. These activities are conducted through various Inter-House Activities at different levels and groups.

Guest Speaker Programmes
The Education in Human Values is intended to draw out the best in a child and to enable his/her personality to develop towards perfection'. This process of blossoming human excellence calls for excellence in each of the five domains or aspects of human personality. These five domains, namely, physical, intellectual, emotional, psychic and spiritual define the human system in to-to, as a whole.' A firm believer of the statement, DDHA gives due stress for inculcation of human values among its students. Value Education is imparted through class activities during the Home Room periods where students are given topics based on values like honesty, fairness, tolerance, prudence, compassion, co-operation, helpfulness, self-discipline, courage etc. They are observed and evaluated according to the adoption and reflection of these values in their behaviour.

Arrangements are made to invite eminent persons from various walks of life and to enlighten the students with their expertise, views, knowledge, skills and general understanding and appreciation of life. Such Guest Speaker Programmes not only enrich the students but also give them a common platform to share their ideas and opinions and seek solutions to the queries haunting them.

With the ever-increasing importance of Group Discussion as a testing, selecting, eliminating tool, the school feels it necessary to incorporate at least one Group Discussion class per week in the school timetable for classes VI and above. Taking part in the discussion is compulsory and the students shall be evaluated every time they participate in such group discussions. The evaluation shall be reflected in the Report Cards.

Yoga & Meditation
In the challenging world of today, the students are under a lot of mental pressure and tension. Their minds need to be strong and firm to face the ever – changing needs and wants. Training in yoga and meditation is imparted right from the primary section so that the students learn and obtain expertise to deal with the tensions and problems in their lives and de-stress themselves.


Educational Excursions and Tours
Picnics, study tours, field trips will be organized a couple of times in a year. This will add to the bonding of the student with his peers and also his teachers. Trips will also be undertaken to places of historical significance, educational purposes etc. The study tours and excursions are effective tools of learning which help to reinforce the knowledge gathered from the classrooms.

Camping and trekking is provided at an optional level. Mountaineering trips are undertaken in the picturesque and hilly regions in and around Uttrakhand and Himachal Pradesh. An indemnity bond has to be signed by parents/guardians before a child goes out on such excursions/tours.
