Have faith in yourselves and in the Almighty.
Strive for your goals and the future is yours!

From the Principal’s Desk..
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and
what you do are in harmony." - Mahatma Gandhi "I have come to realize that people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." - Abraham Lincoln Peace is a stress-free state of security and calmness that comes when there is no fighting or war, everything coexisting in perfect harmony and freedom. (worldpeacenewsletter.com). Peace is not an absence of
war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice. But peace besides fairness, rightness, and impartiality, justice also implies order, a social contract. The social contract that defines a just peace must not only be just, therefore, but must also frame a relatively nonviolent system of relations. A just peace is a just, global social contract structuring a system of minimal social violence. One of the four pillars of Education, “learning to live together” is a challenge in a society with diversity. As Martin Luther King, Jr. aptly commented, “It is not possible to be in favour of justice for some people and not be in favour of justice for all people." The whole world is striving to achieve equity; but equally threatening is the stress we all experience in this competitive world... our efforts to make it to the top is rife with anger, jealousy, frustration, disappointment, depression and so on. Psychosomatic disorders are becoming rampant. Our ego does not allow us to live in peace.
We all work hard to achieve a comfortable, enjoyable living; but the happiness itself becomes a rare commodity! Simplicity, empathy, patience, compassion, critical thinking and positive thinking are the need of the hour. A wise person creates a harmony between the head, the heart, and the body.
Looking at the scenario, the institution, in collaboration with Global Foundation started a PG Diploma in Education for Peace (PGDEFP). This diploma is offered jointly by both of us. The faculty was excited to frame the curriculum for the same. I wish the program becomes popular among the young and the old alike.
