“Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.”
Shri Vineet Joshi
Chairman, CBSE, New Delhi
The need of the hour is respecting different individuals with different abilities, which is equivalent to diversifying education with multiple means. He further added that the inability to imbibe perfection in one area does not imply failure but it signals channelizing of more effort in those areas.
Dr. Chandrabhanu Satpathy
Guruji
It is a fundamental right of every child to be sensitized on the importance of Right to Education, which will spread the glow of knowledge in the country, thereby helping the nation in its march towards progress.
Shri Ananga Kumar Patnaik
Hon’ble Justice

He travelled widely throughout India to understand the needs of the educationists and students. Furthermore, he met Vice Chancellors and Chief Ministers to gain an understanding of the level of expectations from British Council and the crucial role it plays to meet the aspirations of students in India. He also said that, “I am incredibly inspired by the School, teachers and classrooms. It has a lot of things for Britain to learn.”
Mr. Alan Gemmell OBE
Director, British Council India
Good schooling which lays emphasis on overall development of the child without focusing solely on academic achievements is extremely crucial for youngsters to become responsible, caring and empathetic citizens of the country.
