Why do you stress on education, when there are other equally pressing issues in the country?
At Tejomay we truly believe
Education is the best wealth anyone can have.
“No Chor Haryam, Na Cha Raj Haryam
Na Bhatru Bhajyam, Na Cha Bharkari
Vyaye Krute Vardhat Ev Nityam
Vidya Dhanam Sarva Dhanam Pradhanam || “
Meaning -
No one can steal it, no authority can snatch it
It is not divided in brothers, not heavy to carry
Instead as you consume - learn, it increases and
as you share-spend, it expands.
We also believe
Education will help everyone to become responsible human beings & will help everyone lead happy and successful life.
“ Vidya Dadati Vinayam, Vinayati Aati Praptatvam
Praptatvaat Dhanam Aapnoti, Dhanat Dharma Tatha sukham || “
Meaning-
Education gives Modesty-discipline, from Modesty comes worthiness, from worthiness one gets prosperity, with prosperity ones does good deeds and by doing good deeds one feels happy and satisfied in life.
