The Visionary Founder of RKK, Her Highness Rajmata Krishna Kumari Sahiba left for her heavenly abode on 3rd July 2018. Precious are her memories, profound are her achievements, perennial is her passion and divinely conferred is her persona. Her body has perished but not her soul. She lives with us, among us and in us forever. This All India IPSC Squash Championship for Girls has been dedicated to our beloved Founder and her vision to strive towards excellence. 

The 5 days was a culmination of massive continuous efforts put in by the Students, Teachers, Parents & Coaches. It was a propitious moment to have majestic and awe inspiring personalities like Major General Sher Singh (Retd.) and Major General Ajay Singh Chouhan as the Chief Guests for Opening and Closing Ceremonies respectively. Blessed were the portals of RKK with the presence of Men in Uniform with exceptional achievements.

Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Formal Declaration of IPSC Squash Championship Open & Close by the Principal, Unfurling of the IPSC Flag, Oath March, Welcome Dance, Farewell Dance, Tournament Report, Principal’s Dinner, Prize Distribution were the euphoric moments of this brilliant journey.

All the players were physically strong enough to hit the ball and aerobically fit enough to race around the court. Jaw-dropping performances and fierce competitive spirit was a visual treat for all. Every player was able to confront her strengths and weaknesses. The matches resembled a fast – paced dynamic dance between the two competitors breathing down each other’s necks. Brilliant moves of leaping, spinning, stopping, bending, jumping, sprinting and running were enough to whet the appetite of match viewers. The winners displayed accuracy, finesse and coordinated control of eyes & hands. The spirit of true sportsmanship reverberated in the campus of RKK. The Championship was officially declared “Open” on 28th July 2018 & “Closed” on 31st July 2018 by the host school Principal, Mrs Neera Singh.
