Addressing the gathering, she said that returning to her alma mater after nearly 45 years was a moment of great pride and deep emotion for her.

Mrs. Mimani expressed her gratitude to the present principal, Mr. Deepak Sharma, and to all the teachers of the school. She stated that the values, discipline and guidance imparted by the teachers had played a significant role in shaping her life, for which she would always remain thankful.
