Lucknow: The 33rd Founders’ Day celebration at Seth M.R. Jaipuria School came alive on Thursday as the Chetna Exhibition 2025 opened its doors, blending innovation with tradition and offering a vibrant platform for holistic learning. Designed to spark curiosity and build real-life skills, the exhibition drew enthusiastic participation from students, parents and educators.
To promote social awareness, students staged impactful Nukkad Nataks highlighting modern-day challenges—particularly the widening communication gap within families. One powerful performance portrayed how relationships weaken when conversations fade, proposing simple remedies such as a “no-judgment listening day.” Another, titled Atulya Bharat, presented by the Social Awareness Club, beautifully traced India’s journey from Vedic wisdom to contemporary achievements in science and sports.
The English Debating and Activity Club hosted live discussions on topics including brain drain, India–US trade conflicts and the Supreme Court’s order on stray dogs—encouraging young minds to think critically and engage with current affairs.
At the Techpreneur and Science corners, students displayed an impressive range of ideas: a Swadeshi e-commerce platform, a medicine authenticity verification app, ultrasonic sensor-based robotic cars, and interactive chemistry experiments. Meanwhile, the cultural and art zones brimmed with creativity through dance, music and visual art exploring themes of nature, heritage and emotional wellness.
Principal Promini Chopra described Chetna as “a catalyst for self-discovery,” adding that the exhibition offers a playground for children to explore disciplines from science and commerce to performing arts. “We want them to look into the depth of our heritage while simultaneously exploring future technologies,” she said.
A sustainability model by students showcased how Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is evolving into India’s first eco-friendly sports arena, using solar energy to power floodlights and incorporating vertical gardens and advanced drainage systems.
Vice Chairman Shreevats Jaipuria urged students to nurture curiosity and resilience beyond school. “Life has no syllabus,” he remarked. “Take care of your body, value your friendships—these bonds and your curiosity are your true assets.”
Chief Guest Prof. Sheela Misra, Dean, Faculty of Science at Lucknow University, praised the school’s integral approach. “Education here touches the inner spirit. Students nurtured this way not only excel academically but also live with harmony and purpose,” she observed.
Parents expressed delight at interactive corners like Lateral Thinking, where problem-solving felt enjoyable rather than intimidating. The Maths Club kept visitors engaged with activities like Number Jigsaw and Musical Merriment, while the MUN Club recreated a lively Lok Sabha session with debates and bill-passing.
Blending innovation, creativity and social awareness, Chetna Exhibition 2025 reaffirmed Seth M.R. Jaipuria School’s commitment to shaping confident, empathetic and future-ready learners.
