The Asian School celebrated its silver jubilee with a string of cultural programmes, including the performance by the school band Groovers. The ace actor Anupam Kher who was present on the occasion as the chief guest, said, in his address, that the biggest obstacle holding today’s youngsters back is the fear of failure and urged parents and elders to address it. Failure was not a reflection of a person’s worth, but rather an event meant to foster growth, he added. Among other dignitaries present included the president of the school Amarjeet Singh, the vice president Madanjeet Singh and the directors Tarunjyot Juneja, Gaganjyot Juneja and Vartika Sah Juneja. Gaganjyot Juneja announced the expansion of franchises in Jammu, Ludhiana and Paonta Sahib, aiming to broaden the school’s reach and provide quality education to more students.

A ceremonious launch of the 25th edition of ‘Colors’, the school magazine followed, along with the third volume of ‘Reflections’, an articulate collection of short stories penned by the Asiantites .
