<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe Chief Minister recalled the humble beginnings of CMS, founded nearly 70 years ago by Dr. Jagdish Gandhi and Dr. Bharti Gandhi. Despite limited means as students at Lucknow University, they envisioned quality education for the city\u2014a dream that today serves thousands of students at CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out that not every student will make it to the merit list, but they can still achieve distinction in fields like sports, arts, and public service. He also highlighted India\u2019s ancient Vedic traditions, citing the verse \u201cMata Bhumi: Putro\u2019ham Prithivya:\u201d (The Earth is my mother, I am her son) and linked it with the CMS motto \u2018Jai Jagat\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPrime Minister Modi reiterates this same sentiment through the mantra of \u2018Nation First\u2019, he remarked. CM Yogi urged that all citizens should work with this spirit in every aspect of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Referring to PM Modi\u2019s remarks, the CM said that \u2018Nation First\u2019 should be everyone\u2019s core mantra \u2014 not just for political leaders, soldiers, or civil servants, but for teachers as well. Expressing concern over the misuse of social media, he noted that when youth lack a sense of devotion to the nation, anti-national ideologies begin to take root. Hence, teachers bear the responsibility of not only educating but also sowing seeds of patriotism and ethics in their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He praised CMS for its active participation in national celebrations like Independence Day and Republic Day, noting that the energy of its students during tableau performances reflects the enduring spirit and dedication of Dr. Bharti Gandhi, whose commitment remains inspiring even today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister also lauded the students\u2019 theatrical presentation of \u201cAdi Yogi\u201d, calling such cultural performances essential for connecting children with their history, traditions, and values. He described the performance as a reflection of India\u2019s cultural identity, moving toward the grand celebration of the Mahakumbh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur mythological tales are not just entertainment,\u201d he said, \u201cbut a source of life lessons and values. Such initiatives are crucial to connecting today\u2019s generation with their roots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was also attended by CMS founder Dr. Bharti Gandhi, CMS manager Prof. Geeta Gandhi, CMS President Dr. Roger Kingdom, Treasurer Vinay Gandhi, former DGP Vikram Singh, and Mayor Sushma Kharkwal, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
