Dear Beloved Students,
Welcome to DEFENCE CAREERS ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, welcome to the hub of the development of your bright future.
The timeless wisdom of our wise and learned philosophers has always stated that – “There is no substitute to hard work, and hard work accompanied by smart work is the key to excellence in the present world of cut-throat competition”. There is a beautiful verse in sanskrit complied by none other than Bhartrihari. Bhartrihari, (born 570 CE in Ujjain, India.) was a great Hindu philosopher and poet-grammarian, author of the Vakyapadiya (meaning - Words in a Sentence) and Neetishatakam (meaning - 1000 verses on ethics).The beautiful verse regarding hard-work is reproduced hereunder -
उद्यमेन हि सिध्यन्ति कार्याणि न मनोरथैः।
न हि सुप्तस्य सिंहस्य प्रविशन्ति मुखे मृगाः।।
- By Bhartrihari from Neetishatakam
Meaning of the Verse - Work gets accomplished by putting in effort, and certainly not by mere wishful thinking. Deer certainly do not enter a sleeping lion’s mouth.
It is important to dream but it is even more important to work for it as there is no magic wand in the world that can turn a dream into reality. The above-mentioned quote by great Sanskrit scholar Bhartrihari, too confirms the same.
Students generally find themselves in the ocean of confusion and dilemma when it comes to preparing for any exam, be it a simple competitive exam or an exam revolving around the very necessities of life. At DEFENCE CAREERS ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, we strive to provide you the best. Students are today enlightened and focused. They know what they are up to. They are simply in a need of ray of guidance.
Is it possible for a student to learn in a perfect environment without suffering – the answer is yes. Let me narrate hereunder, the words of great legend Chanakya and the meaning of it –
नास्ति विद्यासमं चक्षुर्नास्ति सत्यसमं तपः।
नास्ति रागसमं दु:खं नास्ति त्यागसमं सुखं॥
- By Chanakya
Meaning of the verse - There is no vision that is equal to learning; there is no tapas (penance) that is equal to truth; there is no sorrow that is equal to desire or attachment; there is no happiness that is equal to sacrifice.
Bridging the gap between home and school life is a difficult possibility to pursue. It takes the strength and determination of one person – the teacher. Educators have a strong ability to see the inner workings of children. They are able to notice the lack of support that may be occurring. There are students who are too hungry to stay awake and to succeed.
The DEFENCE CAREERS ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL model sets high standards for both the teachers and the students, believing that there are not at-risk students, but only at-risk situations to which children are exposed. This model also works to improve educational achievements for students of all walks of life and background by providing structure and focus into their learning.
We recognize that all students are uniquely talented. Within our exceptionally supportive community, students develop positive relationships and relish the opportunity to realize their individual potential to the full. Learning at DEFENCE CAREERS ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL is highly student-centered, engaging and inquiry based. Through a broad range of experiences in and beyond school, students become confident, optimistic, compassionate and internationally-minded young adults, ready to find their place in the world.
With this thought and aim in my mind, and a realization in the heart that I am performing my duty in true spirit and action, I shall end my message here. Best wishes to my students.
Thanking you,
Yours Truly,
Satnam Singh Sandhu
