The President thereafter requested all assembled to rise for a two-minute silence in homage to those who had departed.

The Minutes of the last General Body Meeting were read out and passed by the House.

Thereafter, the President requested KS Ayaaz Khan, the Director, to give a brief resume of School activities over the past year. He spoke of the following:

  1. The School has done extremely well in the past year in academics with a 100% result in Standard 10 CBSE exams, though there were four failures in Standard 12 CBSE exams this year. The results have been queried by the School Administration and a reply from the CBSE is awaited.
  2. The School’s strength has risen to 680 students (880 – counting the Priyalok Vilas) from a poor strength of 350 three years ago.

The President then read out the data pertaining to the Peter Rogerson Memorial Fund. He also mentioned how the depleting funds of the OBA were enhanced as 675 new members joined in the previous 3 years and an addition of INR 6.25 lakhs were added to the OBA funds.

A few changes in the Constitution of the OBA were recommended and unanimously passed. They were:

  1. The Executive Committee should consist of 15 members elected at the General Body Meeting from amongst those who were not members of the previous committee.
  2. Five members of the outgoing Executive Committee to be co-opted by the President.
  3. Girls be given the right to become members of the OBA.
  4. Principal / Director to be the ex-officio member without voting rights. He has to appoint a Secretary / Treasurer for the OBA.
