HYDERABAD: The Premia Academy, a progressive institution committed to nurturing resilience, responsibility, and a deep sense of care in every learner, hosted its Investiture Ceremony, where it announced the appointment of the new student leadership council for the academic year 2025-26 where 30 student leaders were entrusted with key responsibilities, including School Pupil Leader (SPL), Assistant SPL, Sports Captain, Vice-Captain, Ministers, House Captains, and Junior Prefects. Each student received their badge and sash with honour, symbolizing not just a title but a commitment to serve their peers and uphold the institution's values.

The ceremony was graced by Ms. Mala Mary Martina, Founder of I Love Mondays and an organization dedicated to providing career guidance for students in Grade 11 and 12, who served as the Chief Guest, inspiring everyone with her insights on purposeful career choices and discovering passions beyond conventional paths. Ms. Sindhuri Reddy, Founder and Managing Director of The Premia Academy,  Principal Tripti Rao, and other members of the founding team were also present at the investiture ceremony.

Leadership skills cultivated at the school lay the foundation for lifelong character, resilience, and vision. Through this experience, students are not only learning how to lead, but also how to listen, collaborate, and inspire. To receive their badges and sashes in the presence of their parents made the occasion even more meaningful. It was a moment of pride, gratitude, and reflection for both students and families, as these young changemakers took their first official step toward leading with purpose and heart.

On the occasion, Ms. Sindhuri Reddy, the founder and managing director of Premia Academy, said, “Leadership, to us, begins long before a title is given. It is about fostering curiosity, building emotional intelligence, and encouraging responsibility from within. Watching our students wear their sashes today was more than symbolic—it was a reflection of the vision we hold for every child to become a change-maker in the world they will inherit.”

Adding to this, Ms. Trupti Rao, Principal, The Premia Academy, said, "The Investiture Ceremony is one of the most meaningful milestones in a student’s journey. It marks a transition—not just into a role, but into a deeper sense of self-belief, responsibility, and service. We are  proud of our young leaders and the values they carry forward with them.”

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
