Second Edition Celebrates Ambition, Resilience and Leadership
Raipur, 12 September 2026: N.H. Goel World School hosted the second edition of TEDxNH Goel World School Youth on the theme “Growing Beyond Boundaries,” bringing students and distinguished guests together for an inspiring exchange of ideas.

The programme opened with an energetic, rock-inspired performance of “Hall of Fame” by the students, setting an enthusiastic tone for the event.

The highlight was an inspiring address by Dr. S. Bharathidasan, IAS, who shared personal experiences from his journey into public service. He recalled how a visiting Collector motivated him after he topped Grade 8, planting the seed of an ambition that eventually led him to pursue the challenging UPSC civil services examination.

Speaking about his tenure as District Collector of Raipur, Dr. Bharathidasan reflected on the difficult days of the second COVID-19 wave, particularly the challenges surrounding the city’s medical oxygen supply.

He acknowledged the courage and resilience of citizens who faced immense hardship with determination. His account offered students a powerful perspective on responsibility, perseverance, and leadership during a crisis.
An engaging question-and-answer session gave students an opportunity to interact with Dr. Bharathidasan and reflect on the experiences he shared.

Principal Dr. Awinash Pandey expressed pride in the students for their efforts in organising the event. Director Administration Mr. S. K. Tomar congratulated the organising team on the successful programme.

The event encouraged young learners to pursue their ambitions with determination, learn from challenges, and recognise the value of serving others.
