Purushottam High School proudly celebrated its Founder’s Day on 1st April 2026, commemorating the birth anniversary of our revered founder, Late Lion Principal K. B. Kotian. The occasion was marked with great enthusiasm, gratitude, and deep respect for his visionary leadership and invaluable contribution to education.

The function was graced by distinguished guests, including Mr. Uttam Khobragade (IAS, Retd.) and Mr. Zubair Siddiqui, an esteemed ex-student of the school. We were also honoured by the presence of members from the Rotary Club of Brave Hearts Mumbai—Ms. Zeenat Hasta (President), Mr. Khuzem Sakarwala, and Mrs. Nazeen Sakarwala. Representatives from iValue, Mr. Krishnaraj Sharma and Mr. Lalit, also added great prestige to the event. The celebration was further enriched by the presence of talented singers, Mr. Sameer Vijayakumar and Ms. Isha Singh.

A special note of gratitude was extended to the iValue team for their exemplary support through their CSR initiative, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Brave Hearts Mumbai. Their contribution towards replacing the ageing roof has significantly improved the school’s safety and infrastructure, creating a better learning environment for our students.

The programme commenced with the traditional lighting of the lamp, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and the spread of knowledge, followed by a soulful prayer song. A special segment showcasing the inspiring life journey and achievements of Late Lion Principal K. B. Kotian deeply moved the audience and reminded everyone of his enduring legacy.

As a mark of respect and gratitude, a memento in loving memory of our founder was presented to Mr. Uttam Khobragade as a token of honour and appreciation. The event also featured a delightful musical performance by the singers, which added joy and vibrancy to the celebration.

The Founder’s Day celebration was indeed a memorable occasion, filled with pride, inspiration, and a renewed commitment to uphold the values and vision of our beloved founder.
