About the school: With the advent of civilization, education has become an essential part of our lives. It has made our lives beautiful. There are various temples of learning in and around Habra, set up by distinguished educationists, and famous dignitaries. But when the Metropolitan Cities across the country felt the taste of western culture and education, Habra was far from the same. Our Global Civilisation is a world heritage-not just a collection of disparate local cultures. The importance of English cannot be denied in today's global world.
