Principal’s Message

“Knowledge is power” is an eternal truth of every age; however, in the present democratic and scientific era, its relevance has grown manifold. Today, an individual determines their position and stature in society through their own abilities and competence. In this context, the establishment of Eklavya Model Residential Schools for the tribal community—long deprived of quality education—stands as a tangible manifestation of a far-sighted and visionary initiative. Despite being the rightful inheritors of the nation’s glorious past, the tribal community continues to struggle for basic necessities and a life of dignity even after 78 years of independence. The fundamental reason for this remains the lack of education. Education is not merely a means of employment or livelihood; it is a beacon of light that brings holistic transformation to an individual’s life and guides future generations towards a brighter path. On this sacred occasion of the tribal renaissance being ushered in through Eklavya Model Residential Schools, I call upon all my colleagues, parents, and students to work with complete integrity, dedication, and commitment to translate the government’s resolve into meaningful achievement. With the hope that we will continue to receive unwavering support from teachers, parents, and students in our collective resolve to spread the light of education to every household of a community that has remained marginalized and deprived for centuries, I conclude with this aspiration.
