The trust and spirit of collaboration among members remain the foundation of this journey,” he said.   President-Elect Dr. Arunabh Singh, Director, Nehru World School & Co-founder, Heathy Planet TGA emphasized continuity and forward momentum. ‘’ARISE represents the collective voice of progressive schools across the country. Going forward, our focus will be on strengthening collaboration, advancing policy engagement, and building future-ready institutions that place students at the centre,” he stated.   The ceremony also recognized members for their contributions to ARISE initiatives, underscoring the organization’s participatory ethos.   The Members’ Meeting concluded with a shared commitment to strengthening collaboration, advancing reform-oriented dialogue, and shaping the future of school education in India.   About ARISE ARISE (The Association for Reinventing School Education)  is an autonomous body that brings together some of the country’s most progressive and intellectual minds including School Promoters, Edupreneurs & Leaders who remain committed and focused on serving as a beacon for change within the diverse and dynamic landscape of India’s school education system. Living up to the motto ‘ Student First ’, ARISE recognises the complexity and the unique challenges faced by both independent private schools and public / government schools and will continue to play an important role to be a collaborative platform to bring together forward-thinking school founders, educators, policy makers, think tanks, educationists, civil society experts and technical experts.  As a collegium, ARISE represents over 1800+ Schools, 95,000 Teachers, and 1.5 Million Students .
