In another development reflecting his involvement in the education sector, Ahmad was elected President of the Private Schools Association Bandipora in April 2026. Following his election, he expressed his commitment to working collectively with stakeholders to address issues faced by private schools and give due attention to the concerns of parents.

IDPS Bandipora, located at Kaloosa, began its academic journey in 2017 with 88 students. According to the institution’s official website, its educational philosophy emphasises academic learning alongside human values, creativity, sports and the overall development of children.

The latest national recognition, following the Young Entrepreneur Award earlier this year, adds another milestone to Ahmad’s professional journey in the education sector.
The award ceremony was attended by educationists and representatives from different institutions. The conclave provided a platform to discuss educational practices, institutional development and the importance of equipping students with skills suited to a changing world.

For IDPS Bandipora, the recognition is a significant moment as the institution continues its efforts to strengthen academic learning and provide students with opportunities for intellectual, creative and personal growth. (KNS)
