Salt Lake Shiksha Niketan celebrated its 22nd Foundation Day with Saptak 2026, a vibrant cultural evening held at the Dhono Dhanyo Auditorium. The event brought together art, music, and storytelling in a thematic showcase inspired by the number seven, reflecting the school’s commitment to holistic education.
The celebration was attended by distinguished guests including Radhe Shyam Goenka, Om Jalan, and Rishab Kothari, along with key members of the school management and community.
This year’s theme, Saptak, wove together the seven swaras, colours, continents, wonders of the world, and constellations into a cohesive cultural narrative. Students presented energetic dance performances, music, and skits that took the audience on a journey from earth to the cosmos, blending tradition with creativity.
The evening also paid tribute to the vision of the school’s founder chairman, Late Shri Shyam Sunder Beriwala, whose legacy continues to inspire the institution’s milestones.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Lalit Beriwala, Chairman of Salt Lake Shiksha Niketan and Director of Shyam Steel Group, said, “Our 22nd Foundation Day is not just a celebration of milestones but the spirit of learning, growth, and aspiration that defines us. With the constant commitment of our teachers and the boundless potential of our students, we continue to dream bigger and aim higher. As we celebrate our journey, we also renew our commitment to shaping future-ready generations and building a brighter tomorrow.”
Madhusmita Bezbaruah, Principal of Salt Lake Shiksha Niketan, said, “As an educator, I have always believed in Nelson Mandela’s powerful words that education is the most potent tool to change the world. At our institution, we strive to inspire and empower our students to think beyond boundaries and become responsible individuals who contribute towards building a better, brighter, and more beautiful future.”
She also highlighted the school’s initiatives for holistic development, including special support classes, the SUPER 10 programme for Classes X and XII, Life Skills sessions by Nitai Maharaj of ISKCON, AI-enabled smart classrooms via Extramarks, and planned summer and bridge courses to strengthen academic performance.
The cultural programme concluded with a performance by the renowned musical duo Sourendro and Soumyojit, whose music provided a memorable finale to the evening.
