Sri Sathya Sai schools alone impart education with human values, says retired IAS officer

Sri Sathya Sai schools alone impart education with human values, says retired IAS officer. Role play on Chandrayaan, ‘Padhya Kadambam’, a drama highlighting the beauty and significance of Telugu language, and a colourful medley of various dance forms of India enthral audience at the annual day celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar.

Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar celebrated its annual day on the school’s premises at MVP Colony in the city on Sunday evening.

The celebrations started with the lighting of the lamp by chief guest P. Basanth Kumar, a retired IAS officer and former Collector of Sri Sathya Sai district.

School principal A. Kausalya, governing body members and guest of honour Sireesha Bhagavathula, an alumna of the school and noted playback singer, were present.

Addressing the students later, Mr. Basanth Kumar said he was blessed to be the first Collector of the newly formed Sri Sathya Sai district. He said he was always guided by the words of Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

“While any school imparts education, ‘Educare’, i.e., education with human values, is taught only in Sri Sathya Sai schools,” he said. He expressed confidence that such education would help in transforming children into responsible citizens.

Mr. Basanth Kumar, along with other dignitaries, released a special edition of the school magazine, ‘School flash’, to mark the occasion.

Ms. Kausalya highlighted the achievements of the students who brought laurels to the school with their outstanding academic excellence, and also through their extraordinary talent in extra-curricular activities.
