Every school needs to focus on one thing and that is “No child is left behind” as every child has some or other capabilities which if guided well becomes their main passion in life and if one follows the passion , success is guaranteed. We owe to the society a happy and confident future citizen and cannot shy away from our duties to do so in the name of various pressures.

Any message for the Parent & Students.
Today the world is going through lots of upheavals , society is changing , weather is unpredictable even the various areas of earnings are changing. There are many areas of work of 10-15 yrs back which you will not find in today’s world. Today along with knowledge the child needs to learn how to think creatively to face challenges the life offers unannounced. We need to give strong values to our kids and lots of peace and happiness with appropriate opportunities so as to help them explore life moment by moment.
