The Principal Mr. Ravi Ayanoli welcomed Captain Akhilesh Saxena and wife Mrs. Shikha Akhilesh to the session organised in the school’s Multi-purpose hall on Sunday, 4th December.
Mr. Arun Choudhary, CFO and Head-strategy, Al Rayan Holding Co. was the guest of honour, accompanied by parents and teachers among the audience.
In his welcome note, the Principal Mr. Ravi said that because of great soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country the fellow citizens are able to have a peaceful life.
Addressing the gathering, Captain Akhilesh, who is an alumnus of National Defence Academy, gave a brief summary about his life and shared memories of his decision to join the Indian Army. He also explained the tough time he had during the Kargil war in which he got severely injured with enemy shelling but continued the mission, and how his team emerged victoriously.
