Today, we gather not just to mark a retirement, but to celebrate a legacy of discipline, dedication, and determination. Sir, you were never just a sports teacher — you were a mentor who taught us that victory is not only on the field, but in character, resilience, and spirit.
Through every whistle blown and every game played, you shaped not just athletes, but strong individuals. Your contribution will forever echo in the achievements and values of your students.
On behalf of everyone present here, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and wish you a future filled with health, happiness, and continued inspiration. Sir, your innings on the field may pause today, but your impact will remain timeless
