Our Chairman’s message

We believe that as human beings we will not merely endure but will also prevail. Because we

become immortal through our deeds and we alone possess the power of positive thinking, as

within us we have a soul and a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice.

Whether or not we have children by ourselves, we are parents to the next generation. If we can

stop thinking of children as our own and think of them as an asset of the future generation, then

we can realize we all have a role to play.

If we want our children to keep their feet on the ground, it is imperative that we nurture them

through proper education, inculcate both a moral and social code of behaviour to help them live

their lives with courage and to respect and revere other fellow human beings.

Irrespective of what socio-economic strata they come from, we believe it is our moral

responsibility to go beyond our honourable intensions, dignity and self respect. It is not that they

deserve it, but as parents and citizen of a democratic country, we owe it to them.

- Dr. A. K. Fazlani

Founder & Chairman
