Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, a renowned alumnus and celebrated sarod maestro of international fame, shared his memories of school days and expressed his gratitude for his teachers, noting that the institution had nurtured his passion for music.
“Swar,” he said, “has the power to connect people to God and ‘music’ unites the world as it is beyond boundaries and religion.”

The event also saw a horse show, Guard of Honour by the National Cadet Corps (NCC), and a display of trophies.

The evening culminated with an in-house musical production titled ‘An Emotional Odyssey’.
Justice Mukul Mudgal delivered a vote of thanks, commending the faculty and students for what he called “a wonderful show”.
