The newly elected council, led by Head Boy Aariz Parwez and Head Girl Guraasees Kaur, formally took the oath, pledging to uphold the values and traditions of the institution. They were joined by Vice Heads Aryan Kumar and Shruti Rawal, Sports Captains Amos and Aditi Tyagi, Hostel Captains Swastik Sikri and Sarah, along with an accomplished team representing cultural, editorial, and student welfare domains.
