In her address, Principal Learner Dr. Jaya Parekh emphasized that success is not defined solely by medals or podium finishes, but by consistent effort, resilience, integrity, and the courage to strive for personal improvement. She reiterated the school’s commitment to holistic development through experiential and value-based learning.

Sharing his thoughts, Chief Learner and Director Siddharth Rajgarhia remarked, “Sports provide one of the most powerful classrooms for life. Through discipline, teamwork, resilience, and respect for effort, children learn lessons that no textbook alone can teach. At DPS Hinjawadi, our focus is on building a success mindset, where every child learns to strive, persevere, and grow with character. This Sports Day reflects our commitment to nurturing confident, balanced, and future-ready learners.”

The 2nd Annual Sports Day 2025 concluded with prize distribution and a shared sense of pride and motivation, reinforcing DPS Hinjawadi’s vision of shaping confident, disciplined, and value-driven learners, prepared not just for competitions but for life beyond the classroom.
