J. Manohar now holds the banner to eradicate illiteracy and provide education to all without discrimination, which his predecessors have passed and will run the race towards the vision of the pioneers, which centuries of prudence and progress cannot erase.

The secret of educational progress does not lie in brick and mortar or even in books. It lies in the mystery of love. If one were asked to state the history of the school in a nutshell, They would say that it was started with men of love to enlighten and serve the society beyond differences with love.
