The students of MVJIS from Grades 8 to 10 had the inspiring opportunity to learn about the bravery and sacrifice of Lt. Col. Ajit Bhandarkar, through powerful stories and real-life incidents shared by his wife, Smt. Shakuntala Bhandarkar. Every year, Smt. Shakuntala presents the Brave Hearts Award - an initiative of the Metamorphosis Foundation - to a deserving student aged 14 to 15 who exemplifies courage and character.

This year, the award was proudly presented to Master Neeshreyas of Grade 9. The session left a deep impact on the students, awakening a strong sense of patriotism and respect for the selfless service of our armed forces.
