Gurugram (Paridhi Dhasmana), 8 December: Amity International School, Sector 46, Gurugram, marked its Senior School Annual Day on December 7, 2025, with the theme “शांति–संपन्न भारत: A Mission Towards World Peace.” The event underscored the school’s dedication to fostering peace, cultural pride, and global citizenship among its students, aligning with the visionary ideals of Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan and Dr. Amita Chauhan.
The ceremony opened with the traditional lamp lighting by eminent guests Vinita Dawra Nangia, a distinguished editor and columnist, and Bhavna Vij, Senior Political Economy Adviser at the British High Commission, alongside school leaders. Their presence highlighted the convergence of education, journalism, and public discourse in nurturing values.
The cultural program featured आत्मनाद, a large school orchestra performance blending Indian classical Raga Desh with Western musical elements and the Shanti Mantra, symbolizing peace’s universal and personal dimensions. Dr. Arti Chopra, the school principal, presented an Annual Report spotlighting academic excellence, international collaborations, success in Olympiads, MUN participation, and entrepreneurial initiatives, showcasing the school’s holistic educational approach.
Honouring outstanding achievements, the Hall of Honour recognized senior students and staff for dedication and excellence through various awards, including the Baljit Shastri Shield and Chairperson’s Appreciation Award.
A heritage exhibition, शांति मंडपम्, celebrated India’s Union Territories, displaying the rich cultural diversity of regions like Ladakh, Puducherry, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands, reflecting the school’s emphasis on rooted global citizenship.
The finale was a grand theatrical and dance production dramatizing India’s historic contributions to world peace—from Lord Shiva’s cosmic rhythm, Buddha’s enlightenment, and Gandhiji’s non-violence to global peace efforts embodied by the United Nations. The production emphasized environmental care, spirituality, unity, and moral responsibility.
Dr. Amita Chauhan’s valedictory address encouraged students to “Be Your Own Light,” reinforcing a message of compassion and leadership. The event closed with the National Anthem, leaving a lasting impression of Amity’s commitment to nurturing peace-driven future leaders.
