Shaping Minds, Shaping Futures: A Distinguished Double Honour in Educational Leadership
In a remarkable celebration of educational excellence, Mrs. Kiran Chadha, Headmistress of Apex Public School, has added another illustrious chapter to her journey of educational leadership, receiving two prestigious national honours—the Bharat Education Excellence Award 2025 for Remarkable Contribution to School Education and the National Iconic Educator Award 2026, presented by the Urjaa Global Principals Association.
The Bharat Education Excellence Award 2025 recognised her sustained contribution, exemplary leadership and meaningful impact on school education. The honour was presented at IILM University, adding further distinction to an already significant achievement.
The award ceremony brought together eminent figures from the fields of education and public service. Among the distinguished dignitaries presenting the honour were Maj. Gen. B. D. Wadhwa (Retd.), AVSM, Pro-Chancellor (Emeritus), IILM University, and Shri Chauhan, former Joint Secretary, University Grants Commission (UGC). Maj. Gen. B. D. Wadhwa is officially associated with IILM University in the capacity of Pro-Chancellor (Emeritus).
What makes this achievement particularly significant is its national scale and exclusivity. With only 100 educators selected from across India, the recognition places Mrs. Chadha among a distinguished cohort of educationists whose contribution has been acknowledged at the national level.
The subsequent National Iconic Educator Award 2026 further reinforces this distinction, celebrating her visionary approach, unwavering commitment to educational excellence and ability to inspire both educators and young learners.
The presence of eminent personalities, including Ms. Renu Bhatia, Former Chairperson, Haryana State Commission for Women, and Ms. Jyoti Luthra, further enhanced the stature of the occasion.
These twin honours are more than accolades—they are a resounding affirmation of a leadership journey built on vision, dedication and an enduring belief in the transformative power of education.
**A proud milestone for Apex Public School—honouring a leader who continues to shape minds, inspire educators and shape the futures of generations to come.**
