Founder Message

At Sharda Vidya Mandir we work hard for a United, Secular India a modern nation, a productive people and above all a humane and caring society.

Ethics and morality form the foundation on which our school is built. We do not regard mere acquisition of knowledge as the sole aim of education, far more important is the building up of character. Knowledge is power. But we emphasis on character which acts as the reins to control power. We nurture the positive attitudes of enthusiasm, optimism, service and cheerfulness in the children for honing their skills.

One of the most poignant experiences of my life arises when I am approached by desperate parents who plead pathetically with me to chastise their teenagers and to reform them using any method at my disposal and discretion. They are the parents who have spared the rod and spoilt their children.

The task of bringing up children is a pleasurable yet responsible, an exciting yet exacting job. One does not receive any formal training for this work. It is mainly an outcome of the high standards of upbringing that one inherits from his parents and ancestors. People think that to bring up a child lovingly means to shower not only affection and love but giving him everything he wants. But this is not so. Children should be made to realize that what they ask for, and get, is well deserved and ample hard work has been done by the parent to procure the same. They should be trained to do hard work for being achievers. In his letter to his sons teacher, Abraham Lincoln has said Teach him that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found. Treat him gently but do not cuddle him because only the test of fire makes fine steel. The children should be taught to fulfill their responsibilities towards their parent, towards their families, towards their school and all members of the society, and try to uphold the noble traditions of their family by imbibing the sublime values taught to them.
