Sharing her profound thoughts on the centenary of The HPS, Droupadi Murmu said, “Many great personalities are alumni of this school. For any institution centenary year is worth celebrating. In the long 100 years academic institutions could face many challenges. Based on its experiences, The Hyderabad Public School empowers and equips the students to be strong decision-makers. I have learned that academic excellence and character-building have been at the core this school. This school has inspired many students and has fetched great recognition to the country. I felt a deep sense of pride while exploring the school’s museum, which beautifully displays its rich history. I have learned that this school emphasizes innovation and critical thinking which strengthens the foundation of the students. I appreciate The Hyderabad Public School for creating an environment which encourages students from diverse backgrounds to study together and learn from each other. To build a strong school curriculum framework, the stakeholders should also consider life-skills as laid out by NEP 2020 that will foster technical skills and emotional strength to face any crisis. The students should cultivate compassion and empathy and work towards the progress of other people as well. In life, it’s essential to consistently pursue one’s passions, as this fosters positive energy and serves as inspiration for others. I congratulate the school on its Centenary year and extend my wish that this institution may always achieve great heights.”

I foresee MPs, Governors and leaders in making among the students present here. I have learned that this institution was reserved for a special section of society. Since it has been open to public, it has done a great service to students from diverse backgrounds, who have studied here. The school has produced students who have contributed to the development of the state and the country. The message of National Education Policy is centered around – “the power of learning is by doing”. Hon’ble President and the NEP believe in moving the children from beyond classrooms, it’s imperative that we move them to sports field, social field and open stage so they exemplify the activities. The theme of the school exemplifies ‘Be Vigilant’ which sums up how a student and society should behave. Two great elements viz., academics and athletics have been of importance at this school. The school has maintained that the students should concentrate not only on academics but also on sports. Sports and academic activities are the two eyes of academic institutions.”
