He thanked the General Secretary Vijay Shah for allowing a crippled but intelligent student to take admission in Class XI as he became such a cynosure of the school that he did not require the help of any peon to be wheeled into any classroom or washroom as his classmates and friends were more than eager to help him out.
likewise he quoted examples of students who came forward to help the people of Nardaha, a village in the vicinity of the school, through ‘SWEAR’ (Society of Welfare Encouragement Association Revamp) activities, of a student who celebrated her birthday with the peons and maids of the school, of many teachers supporting the education of peon’s / maid’s children and other welfare activities thereby indicating how an aura of holistic progress was taking a firm foothold in the school.
Seeing the tagline of the school, ‘We value our values’ shaping up as envisioned, Pro Vice Chairman endorsed the school as an exemplary institution that is treading its path in making students culturally and empathetically conscious.
