Guru Nanak Fifth Centenary School For Boys

Education indeed is the soul of a nation as it shapes its destiny. It is character building, life building and assimilation of fine ideas. It is a lifelong process, it would be wrong to treat it as a synonym for schooling through the foundation of the same is laid down during school life. True quality education results in harmonious growth and prepares one for life. Let’s also not lose sight of the fact that there is so much to learn and so little do we know.

This comparison is a great discovery of our own ignorance and restriction, and it is real education in the true sense. It simply represents our lack of comprehension, and this knowledge causes us to strive harder towards higher heights. Sri Aurobindo 's everlasting lines summarise the true purpose of education. It's not for our families, it's not for us to secure a good place, it's not for us to earn money, and it's not for us to get a diploma. We research to learn to know, to understand the world and it brings us for the sake of pleasure. N.D. Sawhney
