In March, KSV was thrilled to welcome Pune-based Kathak artist 💃 and Senior Instructor at Shama Bhate's Dance Academy Nad-Roop, Ameera Patankar 🌟 to host a week-long workshop with our Kathak students!

We are thrilled to announce that our 10th Standard students achieved a 100% pass rate on their recent SSLC exams! These scores bring great pride to the KSV community and we are thrilled to see all they will achieve in the future ahead👏
This year's batch achieved a 70% pass average. Among our students, two of them crossed the 80% threshold . Special congratulations to Poorvi Kumar, who emerged as the top scorer with an impressive 95%✨. The success of our students would not be achievable without the endless support of the KSV teachers and staff, who grow the potential of every child🌱.

Thanks to the generous support 🙏 of the EdelGive Foundation, our quarterly music programmes continue to be defining moments of the year 🎵.

Our Kathak💃, tabla, and vocal🎤 students also delighted audiences with wonderful performances.
Our students are not just developing strong foundations in Hindustani music 🎶, but are also discovering how music can bring people together and nurture a sense of community 🤝. This fosters a vibrant and welcoming campus atmosphere 🌼, where music becomes a shared language connecting our students with one another and with the wider community 🌍. |
