It is our belief that everyone has the potential to succeed in life, regardless of his or her socio-economic background, as long as there is effort, guidance and good health. We therefore intend providing such support as necessary to provide all these. Going further, we believe that excellence is possible amongst the poor if a sense of self-esteem and confidence is built through good education, skill building and opportunities. However, since we have scarce resources in terms of school capacity, we shall, for the present, confine ourselves to children with academic potential and nurture them to excellence.

Apart from ensuring quality of learning, we believe that it is important to make learning enjoyable and meaningful for every child. It should be sensitive to the development needs of the children and firmly connected to the rural community. Good physical, emotional and spiritual health is therefore as important as the intellectual. The School will consciously build the infrastructure necessary for the provision of all these.

The attempt is to build a replicable model to enhance quality of education in rural India. Our goal is to accomplish high levels of learning through the creation of an adequate learning ethos and milieu. The quality of the curriculum needs to be constantly addressed and improved. We are convinced that it is difficult to teach anyone and that experience and analysis are the basis of learning. All that we can do is to facilitate these processes.

We recognise the critical role of teachers in enhancing the classroom environment and in transacting the curriculum. We therefore appreciate the need for a training environment and continuous teacher development inputs that are closely linked with class room practice and the needs of the teacher. Teachers need  to explore and learn with our students to inspire the natural curiosity and intelligence that lies within each of them.

We recognise that there is great risk in embarking upon a venture of this nature without resources of our own but we are determined that we shall not fear the shadows but look for the light shining somewhere nearby.

The eventual goal is to help achieve the political, economic and cultural dimensions of equality guaranteed to every citizen in our constitution. Our Mission will bring the democratic right to education and growth to everyone. Children and so eventually our citizens will learn to be continually critical.  We will enable the building of values and leadership qualities and so promote the political right of everyone to be represented and represent. Cultural plurality is the Indian tradition but the absence of cultural equality needs correction. We also wish to correct the ever widening gulf between religious communities, reducing the influence of religion in the public sphere and the growing intervention of religion in secular politics.
