Dr. Shabeer Nellikode, Founder and Managing Director at Universal Hospital said that their support stems from their commitment to uplift the spirit of the youth and prepare them for their future: “For us, we actually promised an amount and I made it double – it was done because it was part of our commitment to the youth. We do quite a lot of work in upgrading, upskilling, convincing and improving people’s lives by getting into the smaller aspects of whatever we could do today.”

With Universal Hospital as their major sponsor, the students and a few faculty members were able to participate and show their prowess in the fields of Literature, English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Arts. “The World Scholars’ Cup gave awards to the top 100. Our team of students excelled in Writing and Debate where they raked in medals, trophies, and more importantly, international recognition in various fields. Their parents and the PEPS administration are equally proud of their accomplishments,” explains PEPS Principal Rose Tabucal.
