Dear Fellow Lions,

Lions schools began with a simple idea: every child deserves a quality education. Decades later, as our cover story reveals, that vision has blossomed into an extraordinary legacy. Walking through the corridors of more than 130 Lions institutions across India, you’ll find tomorrow’s changemakers taking shape.

What moved me most while curating these alumni stories wasn’t just their professional success. It was hearing how a teacher’s encouragement sparked a future IAS officer’s dream in Maharashtra, or how cultural festivals at school laid the foundation for a hospitality career in West Bengal. From Gurugram to Hubbali, these narratives paint a picture of education that goes beyond textbooks – nurturing curiosity, building character, and inspiring service.

The impact ripples outward – our alumni are now leaders, innovators, and mentors in their own right. Many have returned to their alma maters, giving back to the institutions that shaped them. As you read these stories, you’ll see why Lions’ investment in education remains one of our most powerful commitments to nation building.
