In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can. It’s a matter of great pride to pen down the message for Aagaaz-17 the annual school magazine. Education is the basis of all progress. Its purpose is to inculcate humanitarian values, wisdom, compassion, courage and reliability in students. Academic excellence along with active participation in co-curricular activities complete the process of education and it gives me immense pleasure that the school is progressing in all its endeavours towards the overall development of the students. The seeds of an idea sown in 1994 have quickly grown into strong saplings. The school has marched forward to spread the light of education and pave the path of excellence for every student. It is heartening to see the achievements of the students and the school’s progress throughout the year. I hope the school graduates will become leaders of their chosen fields and contribute positively towards the progress of our nation and of humanity at large. May the beacon of truth and knowledge show us the right path.
