The first 10th std batch of Aine and Vikramgad schools

It is always a proud moment for teachers when their students are ready to step out into a world full of exciting opportunities.

So it was with the tenth standard students of Anutai Wagh School,

Vikramgad. It was an emotional moment for everyone present at a function that marked the end of their student days in the school. It was time to recall many

fond memories and experiences, as well as for sharing thoughts and seeking the blessings of the teachers who played

such a vital role in shaping these young people.

Our best wishes to them, always. May they do themselves, their families

and the school proud.

students and was completely devoted to them. Chayatai was also involved as a trainer in many of Grammangal's teacher training
