Fuelling Future Champions: Vasal Education Launches World-class Running Track with Olympian Ajay Jayaram

At Vasal Education, we have always believed that true learning extends beyond the classroom. It lies in every experience that shapes a child’s mind, body and spirit. Through our schools, we aim to provide world-class infrastructure, opportunities for talent exploration and a learning environment that empowers every child to realise their fullest potential.

Cambridge International School, Dasuya, a Vasal Education school, marked an important milestone in its journey towards holistic education with the inauguration of a new state-of-the-art running track by Olympian and badminton champion Ajay Jayaram. The initiative reflects our commitment to creating opportunities that nurture both physical fitness and character development in students.

Mr. Jayaram’s visit was a moment of great pride for the school community. His presence brought together students, teachers and sports faculty to celebrate the values that define both education and sport: discipline, consistency and perseverance.

Following the inauguration, Mr. Jayaram conducted an engaging VE Talk session with students, where he shared candid insights from his professional journey. He spoke about moments of triumph and the many challenges that preceded them, highlighting that growth often comes through setbacks.

Drawing from his own experiences, he emphasised the importance of hard work, mental strength and the ability to stay composed under pressure. Students connected deeply with his stories, which reflected not just the reality of professional sport but lessons relevant to every pursuit in life: academic, personal or athletic.

The session encouraged students to approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset, to stay consistent in their efforts and to trust the process rather than the immediate result.

His words reminded every student that excellence begins with everyday discipline and that success, in any field, is a reflection of effort over time.
