In the words of Satya Nadella, “Our industry does not respect tradition—it only respects innovation.”

At City Montessori School, Lucknow, we believe that innovation acquires its true meaning when it is guided by purpose, ethics, and concern for humanity. COFAS (Computer Fair and Seminar), organised by CMS reflects this belief by fostering computational excellence alongside thoughtful dialogue and the responsible use of technology.

As we look forward to COFAS 2026, the International Computer Olympiad scheduled from 13^th to 16^th October 2026 hosted by CMS Rajendra Nagar Campus I, I extend my warm wishes to all students, teachers, and parents. In today’s interconnected world, computers are bringing unity to the world by enabling global collaboration and shared knowledge. This global platform nurtures analytical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, while encouraging learners to apply technology in ways that serve society.

I congratulate Mrs Jayashree Krishnan (Senior Principal), Ms Khyati Lamba (Principal, and the dedicated team of CMS Rajendra Nagar Campus I, for their continued leadership in strengthening COFAS as a forum for international collaboration and innovation with purpose.

May COFAS 2026 inspire students to harness computing ethically, creatively, and for the greater good of humanity.

With best wishes for a meaningful and enriching COFAS 2026.
