Centre for Holistic Education

A strong need exists to develop a more comprehensive strategy, an enriching fusion of academics and value efforts. The basic core of value education is a comprehensive awareness of this wonderful nation and its amazing culture. The transmission of these tried-and-true principles is what completes education. This moral approach assists children in developing into moral and socially responsible individuals. These enduring principles serve as the cornerstone upon which a country can build its path to prosperity and peace. On October 10, 2014, the Center for Holistic Education was established with this objective in mind. It presents unique lectures and discussions on gender, holistic education, human values, and current concerns impacting the nation's youth. It also hosts activity-based personality development seminars and celebrates days such as Vivekananda Jayanthi, National Youth Day, Gandhi Jayanthi, etc.
