Dear Reader(s) 'Arise,Awake and stop not till the goal is reached' This is a time of great changes.In educa-tion ,too,we see fast changes.You all are individu-als with feelings of self re-spect,sensibilities,respect and compassion.The need of the hour is to recognise appreciate, ap-plaud and foster the fine blend of sensibilities within one and another. Manifestation is the key word to achieve such a success.Your affirmations should be for a noble cause for you will see for yourself flying in the limitless blue sky.All these, we believe would spur higher growth and enter-prise in all of you.

It’s time for Holi, so don't hold yourself back, enjoy the festival to the hilt by participating with full enthusiasm in every small tradition related to the festival. Holi gets us close to our relig-ion and mythology as it is essentially the celebration of various folklores associated with the festival. The dynamic charisma of sparkling colours reassure the people of the power of the truth. The tale of Hiranyakashyap and Prahlad is the testi-mony of the victory of good over evil.

All these fables help the people to follow a good conduct in their lives and believe in the virtue of being truthful. These vir-tues are extremely important in the modern day society when so many people resort to evil practices for small gains. The vi-brancy of Holi helps the people to believe in the chastity of be-ing ingenuous and virtuous. The festival of colours helps to bring the society together and strengthen the secular fabric of our country.

So here’s wishing you a Holi filled with candid moments and chromatic memories to coddle forever.

Happy Holi to you and your entire family.
