“I have watched my daughter Ananya (class XII) transform into a young woman driven by ambition and leadership potential. Placity is a character trait I believe is essential for her as she steps into her new role. Often misunderstood as mere calmness or passivity, placidity is more than just a peaceful state of mind. It's the ability to remain unshaken in the face of adversity, respond thoughtfully, and maintain clarity under pressure. In a world that values speed, noise, and urgency, placidity provides quiet strength. In leadership especially, placidity also provides emotional balance. Above all, it is a leadership skill that can shape effective and thoughtful leaders who will shape the world around them” — Dr. Sushila Bangarwa, Manipal Hospital
