The founders of the school are known to our Honourable PrimeMinister shri Narendra Modi ji since he was the chief minister of Gujarat.
The Honourable Prime Minister invited Mr. Neville Wadia and Mr. Russy Wadia as his special guest during his recent visit to Vadodara, which is a memorable event and a proud moment for the school. Mr Wadia and his family were also invited for the Swearing-in Ceremony of the Honourable Prime Minister shri Narendra Modi & the Union Council of ministers at the Rastrapati Bhavan on 9th June 2024.
They were also invited to the Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendra Patel's official Residence.
Mr. Neville Wadia the founder president of the school and his love for cricket had nurtured at a young age. Though 80-year-old could never make his career in cricket, he has got his name registered in the Guinness World Record (GWR) for being the oldest player to score a cricket century in cricket.
"On that day, he was 63 years and 305 days old and had smashed three sixes and 15 fours during the match. He never thought the match would become so memorable for him. He didn't even bother about it after the match, but my sons and grandsons forced me to register the score with the Guinness Book. And surprisingly, the GWR replied back saying that no one yet has claimed such a record,'
The Guinness World Records Ltd on their part checked all the details and verified them before issuing him the certificate.
