accorded a warm welcome by students and teachers for bringing laurels to the
school. Shubhanshu’s
inspiring interaction with the students on this occasion highlighted the dreams
he nurtured while studying there. Prof. Kingdon emphasized that his success has

CMS Public Relations Officer
Mr Rishi Khanna informed that Shubhanshu has been selected for the joint
space mission of ISRO and the US Space Agency, NASA. Thus, he has brought glory
to the country as India's second astronaut. Before this Rakesh Sharma had gone
to space with the Soviet mission in 1984. Hailing from a simple background,
Shubhanshu, a resident of Triveni Nagar, Lucknow has achieved this
unprecedented feat with his ability, willpower and determination, of which the
whole CMS family is proud.
Mr Khanna informed that
Shubhanshu's training as an astronaut is starting this week and soon Shubhanshu
will leave for the International Space Station, where he will conduct
scientific research and technology-related experiments. Mr Khanna said that
Shubhanshu completed his entire primary education from Montessori to Class 12
from CMS, after which he was selected as a fighter pilot in the Indian Air
Force in 2006.
Shubhanshu has been awarded the
'Astronaut's Wings' honour by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Mr Khanna
expressed confidence that Shubhanshu's exemplary achievement will prove to be
an inspiration for all the current students of CMS.
