The human race is witnessing and experiencing scientific and technological developments like Artificial Intelligence, Internet, Instant Communication, Space travel, Medical breakthroughs on one hand and total chaos, confusion, clashes, conflicts, terrorism, bloodshed and massacre in the name of caste, creed, religion, land and resources on the other hand. 

There is a degradation and disregard of ethical, social, moral, cultural and ecological values. A culture of revolt and action rather than patience and tolerance seems to be emerging in today’s youth. Amidst this challenging environment, I am happy that an island of hope and stability is emerging with a mission to promote the ethos of value-based education, and at the same time, creating awareness amongst the young students about the importance of establishing a Culture of Peace for a holistic global society.  

Today the world has been shaped by advances in Science & Technology. The knowledge and information is available at an unthinkable pace and students of today may be engaged in future, in kinds of jobs that perhaps are not even thinkable today. They need to learn critical skills and transferable competencies in order to face the unforeseen challenges of professional life. They must be trained to possess a universal mindset to enable them to interact in the melting pot of the globalized world.
