Sharing her thoughts, Poonam Kochitty, Principal, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Shaheed Path, Lucknow, said, “This recognition belongs to our students, educators, parents, and the entire Jaipuria community. Project Alchemy was built on the belief that every child deserves to be heard, valued, and empowered. Seeing a student-led initiative from Lucknow receive global recognition inspires us to continue creating learning experiences that help children grow into confident, empathetic, and responsible individuals.”
As part of this recognition, representatives from the school will participate in the World Schools Summit in London, joining educators and policymakers from across the globe to exchange best practices and contribute to conversations shaping the future of education.
