Description

"Education is not the amount of information that we put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life building, man making, and character making assimilation of ideas." -Swami Vivekananda.

Education is the overall development of all the innate capacities of a child that is essential for the growth and development of the individual and the society. Although spirituality was the base for ancient Indian education, there was equal importance to prepare the child for the real worldly life. "Education is an ongoing process of improving knowledge and skills, and is also an exceptional tool in bringing about personal development and building relationships among individuals, groups and nations"-reports the international commission on education for the twenty-first century.

The ultimate aim of imparting education is to promote humanity by making an individual to grow self-sufficient in fulfilling his/her needs as well as strive to contribute for the betterment of the 'global village' with a healthy mindset. The application of the principles of educational philosophy, educational psychology and applying modern technology in the field of education does help achieve this aim. In addition, it is important to ensure that use of the latest forms of information and communication technology does not lead to addiction or over dependency on technology that may have detrimental effects on its users' physical and mental health.
