Dr Anirudh Gupta honoured with ‘Ashok Gupta Rise & Reform Honour’
Ferozepur, August 9, 2026: Dr Anirudh Gupta, CEO of DCM Group of Schools, has been conferred with the prestigious ‘Ashok Gupta Rise and Reform Honour’ for his contribution towards bringing entrepreneurship, startups, youth empowerment and meaningful reforms to school education.
The honour was presented by SchoolNews during the ABLE Summit-2026, held at Clarks Amer in Jaipur. The recognition marks a significant national acknowledgement of Dr Gupta’s efforts to introduce bold reforms and innovative approaches in the field of education while carrying forward the legacy of DCM, which dates back to 1946.
Accepting the honour, Dr Gupta described it not as an individual achievement but as a recognition of the collective efforts of the entire DCM Group of Schools. He said the success of any educational institution could never be attributed to one individual alone, as the collective contribution of teachers, school heads, staff members, students and parents strengthens an institution.
During the award ceremony, Dr Gupta’s initiatives in transforming the approach to education were appreciated. It was highlighted that he has worked towards taking education beyond classrooms, examinations and academic results by linking it with life skills, leadership, entrepreneurship, startups and social responsibility.
The honour recognises his continued efforts to create an educational ecosystem that encourages young minds to think innovatively, develop an entrepreneurial outlook and become responsible contributors to society.
The recognition at a national-level education summit is being seen as an important milestone for DCM Group of Schools and its continuing journey of innovation and educational transformation.
