History

Philosophy and logo
"Let noble thoughts come to us from all sides" – derived from "Aa No Bhadra Kratvi Yantu Vishwatah". The school motto "Hanso Nayatu Naha Pragyam" is depicted in the image of a child astride a soaring swan. The motto means, "Ey swan, give us education" generally because, swan is a symbol of enlightenment in Hindu beliefs.
