Grand Ceremony at Little Flower School
This historic occasion was hosted under the gracious patronage of Mr. Murali Yadav, visionary owner of Little Flower School, and was presided over by Dr. N. P. Singh IAS (R), Chairman of the Bhartiya Shiksha Board (BSB), who served as the Chief Guest.
The event was graced by special guest Wing Commander Pushkal Vijay Dwivedi (R), Director General, BSAP, a renowned public figure.

Statement by Shyam Pachauri
Mr. Pachauri, a respected figure in education circles with decades of experience in grassroots institution building, expressed humility at being entrusted with the dual responsibilities. “This appointment is a solemn responsibility, not a title.
