Our Alumni: Carriers of a
Glorious Legacy
Birla Vidya Mandir takes great pride in its long
tradition of guiding young minds who have gone on to succeed in many different fields
around the world. From education, defence, literature, photography, and cinema to art
and fashion, our alumni have made their mark with hard work and dedication.
One of the most famous names is Jim Corbett, the
well‑known conservationist and naturalist, who studied at Oak Openings High School, the
earlier institution on our campus. His courage and love for nature continue to inspire
people everywhere.
Another respected name is Anil Sadgopal, winner of
the Jamnalal Bajaj Award, known for his important work in education and social service.
The school also proudly remembers Lt. General J.S. Ahluwalia (PVSM), who served the
nation as a true soldier.
Our alumni have also shone in the world of art and
creativity. Amit Madheshiya, a brilliant photographer, created history by becoming
the youngest to win the Sony World Photography Award twice. The film industry too has
felt the influence of our alumni through the acting careers of Danny
Denzongpa and Sushant Singh.
The world of literature has been enriched by Ashok
Pande, a respected author and translator, who has introduced readers to valuable works
from around the globe. In the field of fashion, Mukesh Gupta and Pankaj Bansal have
built inspiring careers, showing creativity and innovation nurtured at school.
From conservation and education to the military, arts,
cinema, literature, and fashion, the outstanding work of our alumni proves the strong
values taught at Birla Vidya Mandir. Their journeys continue to guide and motivate our
current students to dream big, work hard, and reach excellence in whatever path they
choose.
Every year, Birla Old Boys Society (BOBS) awards
several scholarships to outstanding students across academics, sports, and co-curricular
activities, recognizing consistent performance and unique talent. These scholarships
fuel ambition and set high standards for personal achievement throughout campus life.
