Commending their perseverance, discipline, and commitment to excellence, he reminded students—

Encouraging every learner present, he further remarked—
“Those who are sitting in the back don’t feel disheartened that you are not on the stage. There will be an occasion when you will also be on the stage.”

Prof. Kingdon spoke about the lasting impact of mentorship in a child’s educational journey.

Highlighting the rapidly changing global and educational landscape, she stressed the importance of continuously reimagining education through innovation and meaningful reform. She also shared with the Chief Guest and parents the various progressive initiatives being implemented at CMS, including Jai Jagat Sections, competency-based evaluations, AI-enabled academic insights in report cards, and ongoing advancements in infrastructure and curriculum design.
