Adani Public School Mundra celebrates its silver jubilee, commemorating 25 years of growth from a small campus to a major CBSE institution in Kutch. The event featured a new indoor sports complex, a 558-seat auditorium, STEM displays, and reflections on resilience and community development.

Adani Public School (APS), Mundra, marked its Silver Jubilee celebrations on Sunday, completing 25 years of academic excellence and community development in the Kutch region. The milestone event was attended by students, alumni, parents, educators and dignitaries, celebrating the institution’s journey since its inception in 2001.

The celebrations were led by Dr Priti Adani, Chairperson of the Adani Foundation, who reflected on the school’s transformation from a modest vision into one of the leading CBSE institutions in the region. Addressing the gathering, she described APS Mundra as "more than an institution" and compared it to a "first child" nurtured with care and faith over the years.

Dr Adani said the school began with a simple dream of providing quality education in a remote region and was built despite major challenges, including the Gujarat earthquake, which accelerated the project’s execution. She highlighted the importance of courage, resilience and teamwork in overcoming adversity.

Speaking on the occasion, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, said the 25-year journey celebrated not just an institution but dreams nurtured and futures shaped. He expressed hope that every student would leave with confidence, resilience and the desire to contribute meaningfully to society.

A key highlight of the event was the inauguration of a new indoor sports complex featuring badminton, pickleball and table tennis facilities, along with a state-of-the-art auditorium with a seating capacity of 558, making it among the largest such facilities in Kutch.

The event also featured STEM and robotics exhibitions, art displays, cultural performances and a documentary showcasing the school’s journey over the past 25 years. A commemorative coffee table book documenting the school’s milestones was also released.

From an initial batch of 233 students and 27 teachers, APS Mundra has grown into a thriving institution with more than 2,300 students and over 100 educators. Dr Adani praised the contribution of past and present principals, teachers and staff members for shaping the school’s success story.

She also lauded alumni who have gone on to make their mark in fields such as academics, government, business, defence, sports and performing arts, calling their achievements the school’s "greatest legacy." The celebrations concluded with the school anthem, symbolising a renewed commitment toward the next 25 years of growth, innovation and excellence.
