The programs conducted by S&P Capital IQ gave us immense happiness. The social work they are doing is encouraging the students to think about the society. Quiz, essay writing, elocution, and sports competitions have really motivated our students. Another point to be happy is all of the students have some or the other prize in their bag. We feel happy that CIQ team has spent time with us and students since morning. We liked the way they spent time with the students distributing sports kits and conducting sports events. We are extremely happy for the plants they have planted in the school premises. We give our biggest all the best and wish them to do many more such campaigns.

We learnt creativity from this event by S&P Capital IQ. They have conducted quiz, essay writing, elocution, and sporting events. They also gave us lot of prizes.
