In his speech, Nripen Kumar Dutta, founder and principal of the school, recalled how the school began with just 17 students in a rented room and spread to the present size to become one of the leading schools. He summarized the achievements of the students in various fields during the ongoing academic session.
Dutta emphasized that learning had to go beyond the four walls of the classroom and be all round and interactive to bring out the best in a child. He awarded Principal’s Leadership Awards to four students for exhibiting outstanding leadership skills. ‘The Summit’, a school publication, summarizing the achievements of students in sports and co-curricular activities during the current session, was unveiled by the chief guest.
