Congratulations to Ananya Chhaochharia- class of 2014, for having been  awarded a 100% scholarship at Harvard Kennedy school under the prestigious Gleitsman Fellowship: https://cpl.hks.harvard.edu/gleitsman-leadership-fellowship

In the light of COVID-19, Ananya's organisation Paint it Red was working on providing menstrual kits to marginalised communities. We at MHS were filled with pride when we read about  the good work that her organisation, Paint it Red , had been doing.

We wish Ananya all the very best.

Stamp Issued in Honour of Alumna

Alokananda Roy,an ex student who has been felicitated and an ex teacher from 1974 -1981.

It was a proud moment indeed when a stamp was issued in Alokananda Roy’s name by the West Bengal Postal Circle in August 2019. This was to pay tribute to her innovative & heroic efforts (through the medium of dance & music), which changed the mindset of Correctional Home inmates across the state of West Bengal !
