Alaknanda Achievers
The sky is blue and so is the colour of the Alaknanda house. Coincidence? I think not! Aiming for the highest peaks, members of this house are spotted in the staff room equipped with their calendars, noting down details and strategies for every upcoming inter-house competition. Their ambitiousness drives them to give their best in the corridors during the break time while they are on duty. Not to mention the several annual trophies they win and have prepared for way ahead of time! Blessed with the most jovial house in-charges, Alaknanda students are not only competent performers, but also are always found living humbly and cheering for all their pals from the backstage.

Bhagirathi Bloomers
The colour of love, danger, and everything in-between, the temperament of Bhagirathi students and mentors scream passion! The house which cheers the loudest in the assemblies regardless of the position they bag, their enthusiasm is awe-inspiring. Every student of Bhagirathi is constantly found bustling with ideas and wants to contribute to the prosperity of the house in their own unique way. Scaling every peak and overcoming every constraint to achieve their goals has transformed Bhagirathi students into go-getters. With the active guidance of their determined teachers, Bhagirathi students always have their head in the game and give their 100% in their endeavours, making it a success.

Mastermind Mandakini
Green rings with the tones of rejuvenation and serenity–a perfect memoir of Mandakini students. Ever so organised, full of ideas, and always planning ahead of the curve, Mandakini students and teachers are found relaxing calmly in the weeks leading up to inter-house events since they are always prepared well in advance. A powerhouse of new ideas, Mandakini students are often the ones who believe in risk being directly proportional to reward, and thus they always end up executing out-of-the-box ideas that end up blowing everyone away. The mentors of Mandakini house hold each student very close to their heart and always shoot for the highest stars, and in the end, everyone is found singing their praises.

Proud Pawani
Yellow brings sunshine, and sunshine reminds the Amity world of none other than the Pawani students. With their optimistic and cheery personality, these students are found discussing ideas in the lunch break while sharing tiffin boxes. Placing teamwork above all, Pawani students are fearless in the face of challenges. They overcome all obstacles with genuine empathy and compassion. Pawani students are great at building each other’s self-esteem and seeing the best in everyone. From math to music, there is no area where Pawani students have not left their mark. The mentor teachers are very understanding, and involve the students in every tier of discussion, taking their views into account.
