Education is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty and

inequality. Education is equally key to

enhance Indias competitiveness in the global economy. Therefore, ensuring access to quality education for all, in particular for the poor and rural population, is central to the economic and social development of India.

It is a measure of our good work that Government of India, Government of State of Punjab, Corporations, and Enlightened citizens whole heartedly support us . Currently, more than 500 teachers and support staff are working on full time or contractual basis to help us achieve our goals.

Vision
Education is the only opportunity that can open doors to every other opportunity. However it is only true when we can deliver quality education relevant to our times.

Simply because a child is poor or living in a rural area doesnt mean that we can consider our job done just by provisioning sub-standard education.
