In a grand tribute to the 77th birthday of Dr. D. Veerendra Heggadeji, renowned philanthropist and Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, JSS Shri Manjunatheshwara Central School, in collaboration with KHELO SPORTS, organized a record-breaking event that saw 3,200 students come together for a collective fitness challenge.
Under the inspiring guidance of Secretary JSS, Dr. Ajith Prasad, Principal SMC Smt. Sadhana S., and Vishal Singh, Director of KHELO SPORTS, the students gathered at the school’s Vidyagiri campus on November 23, 2024, to perform a simultaneous plank exercise for one minute — setting a new world record.
The event was a testament to the school’s commitment to holistic education and physical fitness, reflecting Dr. Heggadeji’s vision for empowering youth through health and community engagement.
“This achievement is not just a record but a celebration of unity, discipline, and the spirit of fitness,” remarked Dr. Ajith Prasad, expressing pride in the students’ dedication and enthusiasm.
The record-setting event underscored the collaborative spirit of the institution and the community at large, fostering a culture of health, wellness, and excellence that aligns with Dr. Heggadeji’s lifelong philanthropic mission.
