He voiced hope that the school will continue its role in nurturing future generations.

Speaking on India's vision of becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047, Praveen urged students and youth to put forth their best efforts towards achieving this goal.

Such commitment, he said, would not only help realise the national vision but also bring about improvements in educational infrastructure and road connectivity.
