In a red letter day for the entire community of Elpro International School, it was an absolute honour to have their Advisor, Lord David Evans, Member of Parliament, House of Lords, UK spend good quality time at the school.
Bringing with him a rich expertise on
International relations and trade along with European Politics, he interacted
with the senior students giving them an insight into his career, political
scenario in the UK and the most current topic of Brexit. The session was
extremely interactive and the students had a great time in the Q & A
session. Lord Evans was also accompanied by his son Ben Evans who is studying
European Politics at one of the best colleges of the world- Kings College,
London.
The two-day visit was extremely
enriching and productive for the students and the teachers. The school also
held its annual event – The Quest, a
platform for innovation and finding sustainable solutions to real life problems
for which Lord Evans and Ben Evans were the guests of honor and also the
judges. Students presented case studies on globally relevant topics which were
much appreciated by him. He congratulated the students on the research and hard
work that was put in by them.
Lord Evans also presided over the
panel discussion on “Exploring Synergies in Trade and Development in India, UK
and the Commonwealth” which saw eminent personalities from different fields

Chakravarty, an eminent educationist from Delhi, Mr Avnish Malhotra, Head of
