INTRODUCTION
Education is a necessity, they tend to use it as a tool for reaching a specific target or personal mark, after which there is no further need to seek greater education. Nonetheless, the importance of education in society is indispensable and cohering, which is why society and knowledge cannot be ever separated into two distinct entities. Receiving a good education helps empower oneself, thus making you strong enough to look after oneself in any given situation. It keeps one aware of their given surrounding as well as the rules and regulations of the society they are living in. It's only through knowledge that one can question authority for its negligence or discrepancies. It is only then that one can avail of their rights as a citizen and seek improvement in the structural functioning of governance and economy. It's only when a citizen is aware of the policies of the government, that he is able to support or protest the change. As a whole, people can bring about development only when they know where improvement is necessary for the greater good of mankind. Education helps one understand oneself better, it helps one realize his/her potential and qualities as a human being. It helps one to tap into latent talent, so that one may be able to sharpen their skills.
Essence Sewa Dham Vidya Mandir:
Sewa Dham represents that aspect of broad Indian ethos where character building is an integral goal of society. Here people and society complement each other, instead of hindering each other’s growth. It stands firmly on saying “Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye” meaning Education is for the liberation of a person’s thought process, mind, heart, and soul, liberation from narrow-mindedness and selfishness. Sewa Dham strives to develop the internal faculties of students so that energy embodied in them can be channelized towards higher goals of nation building. Here, while we make sure that our own desires and ambitions are not imposed upon students, students themselves become capable to chart their own path to success.
