We dedicate this to the man who truly lived by the PRINCIPLES of “Good thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds”, Mr. Cawasji Rustomji Contractor. He has been the inspiration for us. He was a man with a vision. He wanted to develop this small tribal town by providing a platform for quality education to the children, the future.
His encouraging words and constant blessings have helped us achieve this milestone. A man of many positive facets, Cawasji Rustomji Contractor was an ambitious man and had many dreams for the betterment of society and fulfilled many goals in his life towards this end.
Charity begins at home, and who could have done it better. He donated land for the pre-school and at the same time donated land for the construction of a balwadi (village crèche) and vetenary hospital in a village nearby, which today is providing education facilities and vetenary services to more than ten villages.
A Dream was thus realized and we are committed to ensure that we achieve the mission that we are committed to. Quality Education to all.
OUR VISIONARIES
“ Education is important for the progress of society but it is equally important to pay attention to the kind of education that is being given today. The word education is individual , one who facilitates the process of developing dormant potentials who helps students do and achieve all that they are capable of. Education, therefore, has to be a process in which, through interaction, human beings are trained to utilize their optimum capacities.”
“One of the objectives of the school is to train its girls and boys to become men & women of strong character, high principles with a sympathetic outlook, with a spirit of service to the country and a desire to help in a practical way.”
“Our biggest strength is that we believe in investing and developing in our most crucial, valuable essential assets- our children.”
“ For us each child is like our own. We nurture them, groom them and help them grow into responsible individuals who are able to contribute to the family, society , country and the world.”
