In a groundbreaking initiative that brings together world-class education and healthcare innovation, Pilani Public School (PPS) has officially inaugurated its new campus at the Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ) in Visakhapatnam. The inauguration ceremony was held in the presence of Dr Mallika Nadda, Chairperson of Special Olympics Bharat, and Dr Jitendra Sharma, Managing Director & Founder CEO of AMTZ, whose visionary leadership has transformed AMTZ into Asia’s largest medical technology manufacturing cluster.
Establishing PPS within the heart of this innovation ecosystem marks a unique convergence of academia and real-world technology. By embedding a premier educational institution within the AMTZ campus, the initiative offers young learners unparalleled access to science, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies from an early age—an opportunity rarely available in traditional schooling environments.
Recognised for its value-based and holistic educational philosophy, Pilani Public School’s Visakhapatnam branch features state-of-the-art infrastructure, including modern classrooms, fully equipped laboratories, a swimming pool, and extensive sporting amenities such as horse riding, cricket, football, volleyball, and basketball facilities.
Speaking at the event, Dr Mallika Nadda praised the school’s launch as “a visionary model that blends education, physical well-being, and innovation,” stressing its role in shaping globally aware and socially responsible citizens.
Dr Jitendra Sharma reflected on the occasion’s significance: “Having an institution of Pilani’s repute within AMTZ is a milestone not just for the zone, but for the entire region.” He emphasised that the school would be a “fountainhead of future scientists, engineers, artists, sportspersons, and change-makers” and serve not only families within the MedTech ecosystem but also those from nearby industries, including pharmaceuticals, steel, automotive, and naval establishments in the region.
PPS Visakhapatnam further distinguishes itself through a student-centric pedagogy rooted in the multiple intelligence theory. The curriculum integrates arts, music, dance, drama, and experiential learning to nurture all-around development. A recent milestone in the school’s journey was an invitation to Rashtrapati Bhavan in August 2023, where students could interact with the Honourable President of India.
As it commences operations in one of the country’s most innovation-driven zones, Pilani Public School at AMTZ stands as a beacon of aspiration, seamlessly integrating education, industry, and innovation for the leaders of tomorrow.
