 “To establish an Educational Institution, open to all, irrespective of caste, color, class and creed; where pupils are taught not merely through instructions but also through experience to develop into responsible citizens with appreciation for human values, their own heritage and culture; where they learn through activity, sports, outdoor study, individual investigation and efforts employing imaginative methods; under the guidance of their teachers who mentor them with exemplary compassion and devotion, continually develop themselves professionally and are prepared to lead other institutions.”
