A distinguished alumnus of Sainik School Chittorgarh, studied there from 1962 to 1969, consistently excelling and topping his class. Facing numerous life challenges, he now serves as the Vice President of India, guiding the nation toward a new direction and inspiring the current generation to build a new India with his wealth of experience. The eloquent Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath, deeply touched me with his visit to my residence to extend a personal invitation to this event. Your invitation letter was extraordinary, reflecting your remarkable vision. By inviting me, a former Sainik School student, you emphasized that no matter one’s position in service to the nation, the foundation laid by Sainik School remains vital. This opportunity has added an unforgettable chapter to my life.
