There was a Q&A round in which Mr.Vivek Atray gave success tips to the student representatives. He concluded his talk with a word of advice i.e. maximising the three ‘I’s of Inspiration, Innovation and Integrity and minimising the ‘I’ that reflects our Ego. School Principal Mrs. Gulshan Kaur also inspired the students to include fitness in their daily routine. She mentioned that the nation has adopted this healthy practice to bring about a behavioural change in students by moving them away from computer screens to open fields. She further added that such initiatives will prove to be a game changer and will result in overall good National Health. The event was a grand success and was highly acclaimed by one and all.
