The Scindia School

A journey of grit, endurance, and sheer determination!

Congratulations to Shivgeet Singh Hooda (Ex–Jayaji, 2005) on setting a new national record for the fastest solo motorcycle expedition from Srinagar to Kanyakumari, covering 3,696.7 km in just 54 hours and 44 minutes. He began his journey on April 1, 2026, at 4:27 AM from Srinagar, and concluded it on April 3, 2026, at 11:11 AM at Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India, where three seas converge.

He says that his inspiration for motorcycles can be traced back to his days at The Scindia School, where riding horses first introduced him to the rhythm, balance, and unfiltered freedom of movement. That early connection with motion and control stayed with him over the years.
An inspiring testament to resilience and the spirit to push beyond limits, making the entire Scindia fraternity proud.

A day dedicated to reimagining classrooms.

The Scindia School hosted a dynamic one-day workshop on Innovative Teaching, organized by the Sahodaya Committee, Gwalior, bringing together 100 educators from over 35 schools under the guidance of Mr. Ajay Singh, Principal of The Scindia School and President of the Sahodaya Committee, Gwalior.

Focused on middle school education (Classes 6–8), the sessions explored engaging, future-ready pedagogies, from gamification and immersive learning strategies to skill-based and experiential approaches. With initiatives like Let’s Play to Learn, insights from IIT Madras’ SWAYAM platforms, and the integration of NEP 2020 principles, the workshop emphasized making learning more interactive, relevant, and impactful.

Qila Quotes stands as a reflection of the enduring bond between Scindia and its alumni, bringing together voices, experiences, and perspectives shaped on the Fort and beyond. As the school’s alumni magazine, it weaves memories with milestones, celebrating journeys that continue to be inspired by Scindian values.

Each edition offers a window into how Scindians, past and present, carry forward the spirit of the school into diverse walks of life, while staying rooted in a shared legacy.

Qila Quotes Vol. 55 is now live, continuing this tradition of connection, reflection, and pride.

En garde!

The Scindia School introduced students to the art of fencing through an electrifying demonstration by the Fencing Association of Gwalior. Marking the addition of a new sport on the Fort, the session sparked curiosity, excitement, and interest in this dynamic Olympic discipline.

A sharp step towards expanding sporting horizons.

A meaningful exchange of ideas and perspectives.

The Scindia School had the honour of hosting H.E. Kimmo Lähdevirta, Ambassador of Finland, for an engaging interaction with students. The session explored the Finnish education system, cultural heritage, and technological advancements, while offering valuable insights into diplomacy and international relations.

A particularly enriching moment was the reflection on history - the visit of the Finnish Ambassador to Gwalior in 1937 and to The Scindia School, underscoring a longstanding connection.

An inspiring interaction that broadened global perspectives and deepened understanding.
