Mission Statement
The school started with the only aim and mission of providing good and quality education to the kids of BPL(Below Poverty Line) families for whom school is a distance. It is for those who don't want to go to government schools and are unable to go to private schools due to high fee structure.
One of the main reason is also to remove child labour, as the area is surrounded with vegetable market, cloth market, flower market and slaughter house which attract child labour.
The school want to provide the best in education maintaining the fee structure as low as possible.
