The award distribution began shortly after, recognizing students not just for academic scores but for excellence in sports, visual and performing arts, leadership, innovation, and other creative fields.
Chairman Dr. B.N. Nigam, in his address, remarked, “This award ceremony is not merely about honouring the brightest minds–it’s about upholding the values of sincerity, resilience, and compassion. Smt. Sushma Nigam’s legacy reminds us that true education is a combination of knowledge and character. As an institution, our responsibility is to nurture both.”
