When the nation’s First Citizen steps into a classroom, a school interaction can become a lesson in citizenship itself. President Droupadi Murmu’s visit to Air Force Bal Bharati School, Lodi Road, New Delhi, turned into an inspiring encounter with young minds, as she urged students to pursue excellence with dedication, uphold strong moral values and play a meaningful role in India’s progress.
President Murmu visited the school for a special interaction with students, in an occasion that combined celebration, creativity and a message of responsibility for the generation that will shape the country’s future.
Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, Chief of the Air Staff, and Sarita Singh, President, Air Force Wives Welfare Association (AFFWA), received the President.
The visit began with a warm welcome by the school, followed by a vibrant cultural programme presented by students. The highlight, however, was the interaction between the President and the students of Air Force Bal Bharati School.
A Presidential message for tomorrow’s citizens
During the interaction, President Murmu encouraged students to pursue excellence with dedication, uphold strong moral values and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s progress.
Her message placed equal emphasis on achievement and character—underlining that excellence is not merely about academic success, but also about values, responsibility and service to society.

The President also visited an art exhibition showcasing artworks created by Junior and Senior School students.
The exhibition reflected the creativity and artistic excellence nurtured by the school, offering the President an opportunity to view the students’ imagination and artistic expression beyond the conventional classroom.
