Indora (Himachal): On February 1, 2026, Aarni University transformed its cricket ground into a classroom where the lesson was clear — say no to drugs, say yes to discipline.
The celebrity cricket match between Shining Star Team and Educator 11 was organised to engage youth through sport while addressing the growing concern of substance abuse in Himachal Pradesh.
Though the celebrities brought glamour, it was the educators who walked away victorious, proving that consistency and values outperform fame. Their win was met with respect, not rivalry, as even the celebrity team acknowledged the vital role teachers play in shaping society.
Sanjeev Sharma of Sunrise School, Basantpur, earned the Man of the Series title, symbolising dedication both on and off the field.
With strong leadership, meaningful participation and a powerful theme, Aarni University once again positioned itself as an institution that doesn’t just educate students — it educates society.
