30.06.2026
With hearts full of gratitude and emotion, the institution bid farewell to two of its most beloved educators on the occasion of their retirement after three decades of selfless and dedicated service — the Primary Wing Coordinator, Ms Meena Rawat and the PGT Biology, Ms Shashi Kalra. Their journeys have been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by sincere commitment, compassion, and an enduring spirit of excellence that has shaped the lives of countless students and colleagues alike.
The farewell ceremony was graced by the esteemed presence of Director Sir and Madam Principal. The event began with the warm welcome of the guests of honour with bouquets and saplings, followed by a prayer seeking blessings for the new journey that lies ahead.
The atmosphere was filled with nostalgia as speakers of the day shared heartfelt memories and touching anecdotes, reflecting on the remarkable bond they had built with the retiring teachers over the years. Their words painted a picture of two individuals whose presence was not merely professional, but deeply personal and impactful.
In her address, Madam Principal expressed her deep appreciation for their invaluable contributions and their selfless dedication to the institution for over thirty years.
As tokens of love and respect, the management and staff members presented gifts to the retiring teachers, expressing their gratitude for years of guidance, support, and companionship. The occasion became even more special with beautiful PowerPoint presentations that captured cherished memories and milestones.
The journeys of these two educators stand as a testament to what it means to serve with sincerity, honesty, and grace. From achieving academic excellence and handling administrative responsibilities to leading students to victories in competitions and earning recognition in co-curricular pursuits, they embraced every role with unmatched passion and an ever-smiling spirit.
With patience, perseverance, and an unshakable sense of responsibility, they nurtured not only young minds but also values that will stay with students for a lifetime. Their discipline, kindness, and passion for excellence made them role models, inspiring students to dream bigger, work harder, and walk through life with integrity and confidence.
As they turn the page to a new chapter, the institution extends its deepest gratitude and warmest wishes for a future filled with peace, happiness, and fulfilment.
Though they retire from their roles, they will forever remain an inseparable part of the institution’s story.
