About the school: Modern times has seen a spike in modern technology and changing lifestyles. Change is the only constant and our country has seen so many revolutionary changes in the last few decades. But sadly only in the field of education, we still follow the age old practice of recognizing someone only by the grades and scores in the exams. No importance is given for the acquisition of skills and behaviour. It is unfortunate that eighty percent of our graduates are not work ready and the remaining twenty percent also require some kind of orientation.
