The real sign of an educated person is his attitude of sameness towards all. He sees in society the manifestation of divinity. Every student should observe the three principles of equality, unity and cooperation. Education has to aim at ensuring peace and stability in each country by continuous precept and practice of the basic unity.
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Revered Founder Chancellor
