Marking a century, the Maharashtriya Mandal in Pune is set to commemorate its illustrious journey with a series of celebratory events, including a grand gathering of alumni at the Seth Dagaduram Katariya High School (SDKHS) campus in Mukundnagar on April 13, 2024.

Expressing gratitude for the formative influence of their alma mater, Devavrat Bapat, an alumnus, emphasized the profound impact of SDKHS on his personal and professional development. “The values instilled in me during my time at Katariya High School have guided my endeavors, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to reconnect with fellow alumni at this landmark event,” he affirmed.
Similarly, Neeraj Modani, another former student and member of the Alumni Meet organizing committee, emphasized the sentiment of returning to one’s roots. “Visiting our alma mater evokes a sense of nostalgia and belonging that is truly unparalleled.
