Every new day dawns with different challenges. The future rushing towards us with supersonic speed has to be faced boldly. The aim of Amity is to equip the students to tread on the “untroddon” path with dedicated discipline and internal motivation to take success in their stride. To achieve success through hard-work, to be motivated enough to realize your potential and work beyond it to achieve success, that is the toughest chal-lenge of all and the highly committed staff and students of Amity have been achieving this feat year after year. Amitians must believe in themselves and in their lofty goals. They must make big plans, aim even higher and work tirelessly to always remain at the pinnacle of their achievements. I have complete faith in their inherent potential to revolutionalise the meaning of suc-cess and excellence.
