A solemn tribute to a visionary leader, Dr Stya Paul

Recently, Apeejay School, Tanda Road, Jalandhar, observed the 15th punyatithi of its revered Founder-Chairman, Apeejay Stya and Svran Group, Dr Stya Paul. In honour of his remarkable life and legacy, a special assembly was organised exclusively for the teaching faculty. The occasion provided a meaningful opportunity for the educators to reflect on the profound contributions and values of the great visionary.

Dr Stya Paul, an educationist, philanthropist, industrialist, and freedom fighter, led an exemplary life marked by perseverance and purpose. Despite facing significant physical challenges, he never wavered in his mission to empower the youth through quality education. His unshakable commitment to excellence laid the foundation for Apeejay Education, which today stands as a beacon of holistic learning.

Described fondly by the staff as a father figure, Dr Paul’s life continues to inspire generations. He was not just the founder but the guiding soul behind the institution’s success. His principles of devotion, integrity, and lifelong learning remain deeply ingrained in the ethos of every Apeejay school.

Musical tributes from the heart

The teachers paid homage through soulful bhajans, creating an atmosphere of reverence and gratitude. The music echoed the sentiments of the staff — an emotional and heartfelt farewell to a man whose legacy transcends time. Each note carried with it stories of inspiration and memories of personal interactions with the late chairman.

These musical tributes were not just performances, but expressions of love and respect from those whose lives were shaped by his vision. The assembly became a shared space for reflection and remembrance, strengthening the bond among the teaching community.

Remembering a true karmayogi

Dr Stya Paul was known as a true karmayogi — a man of action, whose life was guided by purpose and service. Teachers recalled how he valued every member of the Apeejay family, always advocating for their growth and well-being. His humility, courage, and enduring spirit are seen as cornerstones of the institution.

The event concluded with a moment of silence, allowing the staff to connect with his spirit and reaffirm their commitment to his ideals. While Dr Stya Paul may no longer be with us in person, his presence is felt in every corner of the school.

The shradhanjali was not merely a ritual; it was a testament to a life that continues to light the path forward.
