Investiture Ceremony 2025 NISV CBSE 🌟
"Leadership is not a position or title, it is action and example."

Navrachana International School Vadodara held its solemn Investiture Ceremony, marking the official transfer of responsibilities from the outgoing Student Council to the newly elected one.

A total of 53 student leaders, representing both Junior and Senior Sections, were formally inducted into their roles. Each sash and handshake symbolised the trust placed in these young minds to lead with integrity, responsibility, and commitment.

In a moving moment, they ceremoniously handed over the reins to the new council, encouraging them to lead with purpose and passion.

🎖️ Ceremony Highlights:
Reflections and farewell by the outgoing council

This ceremonial transition reaffirmed the school’s belief in nurturing leadership through responsibility, teamwork, and service. The newly elected council now stands ready to carry forward the torch of excellence and uphold the NISV values.

NISV proudly hosted an enriching Indian University Fair on July 16, 2025, on campus for our Grade 9–12 students from both the IB and CBSE boards. The primary objective of this event was to provide students with exposure to a diverse range of traditional and non-traditional courses offered by universities across India.

With participation from over 28 prestigious universities nationwide, the fair offered students and parents a unique opportunity to engage directly with university representatives. The event was abuzz with students inquiring about cut-off marks, major and minor subject combinations, career prospects of various courses, and gathering valuable information on undergraduate programs, admission criteria, campus life, and scholarship opportunities.

Events like these serve as a reminder that learning extends beyond textbooks and classrooms. It encompasses exposure, experience, and empowerment—elements essential for students to take confident and informed steps toward their futures.

Both students and parents eagerly explored a wide range of academic fields, including traditional disciplines and emerging areas, enabling them to make well-informed decisions about their educational pathways.

Team Vivarta is privileged to create such immersive experiences at NISV, and we look forward to many more events that give our students exposure to courses in line with the future.
