Director’s Message

Ms Lamiya Shums began her foray into education first as a homemaker, raising three children. While her children grew up, her love for children and her passion for contributing to their development remained unchanged. Thus she began her career in Education in 2008 with the set up of Anand Niketan’s Kaparada Campus, a residential school for underprivileged tribal children in partnership with the Central Government.

Today Ms. Shums is the Director and Trustee of multiple branches under the Anand Niketan Group of Schools: Two schools in Kaprada and one each in Bharuch, Jaipur and Shilaj. She also handles one more rural school in the tiny village of Nargol in South Gujarat. Of the above she has been instrumental in setting up the Kaparada, Bharuch, Jaipur and Nargol campuses. Ms Shums steers the various branches of Anand Niketan in tune with the philosophy of Shri Kamal Mangal, Founder and Chairman of Anand Niketan Group of Schools. A believer in doing whatever is best for her students, teachers, and staff, she constantly endeavours to build a culture of trust, creativity and excellence in each of the branches she leads.

Ms Shums brings with her a mindset of giving and contributing to society. Under her leadership, Anand Niketan has started various initiatives that serve the underprivileged sections of society and is doing wonderful work through them.

Director, Anand Niketan PM SHRI EMRS, Kaprada
