Aims & Future Vision

Educate children in their own faith and principle irrespective of caste, creed and community.
Make children from all social backgrounds and religions, including the most deprived, feel welcome.
Encourage all-round growth and development of students to their fullest potential - spiritually, intellectually and physically.
Guide them to the tune of a sound sense of value and inculcate in them a deep sense of respect and appreciation for their culture and the country at large.
Try to create an atmosphere for students to find the scope, within their own cultural milieu, to reflect and develop not only in knowledge and skills but in wisdom.
Impart education characterized by thoroughness, high principles and freedom.
Help students grow with a deep sense of responsibility, self-reliance and maturity so that they find meaning and purpose in their lives and are inspired to live and work to build a just and fraternal society.
Set the idea of service before them to train them to be concerned for others, to be aware of their deeds and to make sacrifices where necessary and to share what they have with the less privileged.
Efforts are made to instill a sense of community rather than a spirit of competition
