members of the council. The Principal, Mr Alok Katdare, then welcomed the guests and

presented the positions to the newly selected members who were ordained with their
prestigious badges.

The to-be leaders were conferred with their badges by Mr Sandeep Joshi, Mr Alok Katdare
and Dr K.B. Kushal. All the 24 students marched one by one to the front and received the

responsibility of holding up the school's principles along with their badges and a scroll that
congratulated them. They signed their confirmations into a register. This was followed by

the flag ceremony. The flags were handed over to the Head Girl and Head Boy along with
all the other four house captains and they proudly accepted the flags and marched on. After

this, speeches were delivered by the Head Girl, Saraa Nayar and Head Boy, Soham Dharia.
They pledged to lead the school with utmost diligence.

The oath-taking ceremony was another highlight of the annual investiture ceremony. The

entire council repeated the pledge after the Principal, promising to execute all that is in the
good of the school with the best of their abilities.

Dr K.B. Kushal addressed the gathering and applauded the council and the students for their

support. He spoke about the qualities in a leader and how all the students have these
qualities locked somewhere inside of each one, waiting to be unleashed.

The chief guest, Mr Sandeep Joshi addressed the gathering and spoke about his school life and

his achievements. He inspired the students by telling them about how enthusiastic he used to
be in every event he participated in and how each one of them should keep trying till they get

it right. His address was short and sweet and much appreciated by the students. This was
followed by the vote of thanks and the national anthem that marked the end of the ceremony.
