Kendriya Vidyalaya-Malleshwaram's 1975 Batch Celebrates Golden Jubilee in Bengaluru
Kumara Park in Bengaluru witnessed a heartwarming morning of nostalgia and gratitude on Monday. The 1975 batch of Kendriya Vidyalaya-Malleshwaram, located in northwest Bengaluru, marked fifty years since their graduation. This special Golden Jubilee event brought together former students and their beloved teachers for a memorable reunion.
A Global Gathering for a Local Celebration
Approximately thirty alumni attended the Golden Jubilee breakfast at a local eatery. Many traveled from different parts of the world to participate in this significant occasion. The event specifically honored fifteen founding teachers of the school, who are now in their eighties. These dedicated educators played a crucial role in establishing Kendriya Vidyalaya-Malleshwaram back in 1966.
Over a traditional Bengaluru tiffin, former students reconnected with the mentors who had shaped their lives six decades ago. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, shared memories, and deep appreciation. Despite their busy schedules and distant locations, alumni made a concerted effort to be present for this milestone celebration.
Humble Reflections from Successful Alumni
The 1975 batch includes accomplished professionals in various fields such as medicine, engineering, and industry. However, the mood during the reunion remained one of humility and reverence. Alumni expressed heartfelt gratitude for the strong educational foundation they received at Kendriya Vidyalaya-Malleshwaram.
Madhwesh R, an alumnus who flew in from California, shared his thoughts on the gathering. "The secret to our success was the incredibly strong foundation that KV Malleshwaram gave us," he said. "That foundation, combined with hard work, perseverance and a bit of luck, made all the difference. We owe a debt of gratitude to the teachers who started it all." His words resonated with many present, highlighting the lasting impact of their school days.
Teachers Cherish Lifelong Bonds
For the teachers, this reunion was a testament to their enduring influence. Teacher Ayyappan Nair reflected on the special bond he shares with his former students. "A teacher's true wealth is the respect of their students," he remarked. "Whether it's a senior doctor who refuses to accept my fees and instead asks for a hug, or the gathering we have today, these moments are our real certificates of success. I don't see former students here; I see lifelong friends."
The event underscored the powerful connections formed within the school community. It demonstrated how education extends beyond academics to foster lasting relationships. The Golden Jubilee celebration served as a beautiful reminder of the values instilled by Kendriya Vidyalaya-Malleshwaram.
As the morning concluded, participants left with renewed friendships and cherished memories. The reunion not only celebrated fifty years of achievements but also reinforced the importance of gratitude and community. Such gatherings continue to inspire both current and future generations of students.
