Guru Samman Award 2026 has come home to AECS Magnolia Maaruti Public School. Mr. Rajesh D.R., Physical Education Coordinator, has been conferred the “Bangalore Sahodaya Activity Warrior” Award by the Bangalore Sahodaya Schools Complex Association (BSSCA) — a recognition of sustained excellence in school sports and physical education across the city.

A Citywide Recognition at the Guru Samman Award 2026

The felicitation ceremony was held on 29th August 2026 at M.S. Ramaiah Vidyaniketan, Mathikere, Bengaluru, where educators from Sahodaya-affiliated schools were honoured for their contribution to holistic student development. Mr. Rajesh D.R. was recognised in the Activity Warrior category, awarded to teachers who consistently drive participation, discipline, and achievement in co-curricular and physical activities.

The Bangalore Sahodaya Schools Complex Association brings together CBSE-affiliated schools across Bengaluru to share best practices, organise inter-school competitions, and raise the standard of teaching and student engagement. Being selected for the Guru Samman Award 2026 places Mr. Rajesh D.R. among the most committed physical-education professionals in the region.

A Decade of Building Fit, Confident Students

At AECS Magnolia Maaruti Public School, physical education is treated as a core part of a child’s growth, not an add-on. Under Mr. Rajesh D.R.’s coordination, the school’s sports programme has grown into a structured pathway that takes students from foundational fitness in the primary years to competitive participation at inter-school and district levels. His approach blends daily physical activity, age-appropriate skill training, and a strong emphasis on sportsmanship and teamwork.

The honour recognises his dedication to teaching, his contribution to K–12 education, his active participation in professional development, and his commitment to sports and physical education. Colleagues describe him as a mentor who reaches every child — encouraging the hesitant beginner as much as the natural athlete — and who has helped make fitness a daily habit rather than an occasional event on the school calendar.

What This Means for Our Students

Recognition of this kind reflects the environment a school builds for its children. An award-winning physical-education programme means students at AECS Magnolia Maaruti Public School benefit from qualified coaching, well-organised sports events, and a culture that values health, resilience, and balanced achievement alongside academics. For parents, it is an assurance that their child’s wellbeing and all-round development are in experienced hands.

The school extends its heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Rajesh D.R. on the Guru Samman Award 2026. His achievement is a proud moment for the entire school family and an inspiration to students and staff alike to pursue excellence in every field they take up.
