Noida school shines at UN summit, only UP school among global top 8

Mayoor School, Noida, has given the country yet another reason to pride over with global recognition at the 9th 1M1B Impact Summit held at the United Nations, Geneva. Defining this moment for Indian School Education has come from Mayoor that is the only school from Uttar Pradesh and amongst eight select schools across the globe invited to participate in the prestigious global forum.

This, therefore, makes the school a Global Goals Incubator-an award bestowed on an organization for steadfastly nurturing into development, through its nurturance, the next generation of young changemakers and making invaluable contributions toward the forwarding of attainable results with respect to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The recognition reflects years of focused effort to push learning beyond textbooks into solving real problems in the world.

A seven-member student team from Mayoor School presented a forceful project in connection with SDG 14: Life Below Water, highlighting the alarming situation as far as the oceans and water bodies were concerned. This presentation, by the nuance of clarity, innovation, and practicality, joined them at par with UN officials, sustainability experts, and leaders from around the world.

It was way more than about the stage: for them, the students had useful interactions with representatives from UNECE and UNEP, mentorship from experts associated with UC Berkeley, and The Geneva Learning Foundation-to name a few. Many saw it as their rare chance to understand how global policy, science, and youth leadership connect.

Adding aplomb to pride in school, the name of Class X student Anusha was among the Top 50 Changemakers in the Changemakers World Cup 2025 for her individual contributions to the sustainability initiatives.

School principal Alka Awasthi termed this feat a "significant milestone." This recognition, she says, is again an assurance on the part of Mayoor School toward empathy, innovation, and global citizenship. “When students learn to think beyond themselves and act for the planet, education finds its true purpose,” she noted.
