Principal's Desk

Parents are constantly on the look out for residential schools where there children can have that kind of education which not only includes academics but also broadens their horizons and increases their self confidence so that they are able to face the world boldly, and are successful in whichever field they decide to choose as their careers.
To dispel the parent's fears and to provide the right platform to their children, we in the APS Dagshai cater for an atmosphere for modern educational facilities- curriculum, provisions for games and sports, art, cultural activities and so on. If last year we had added V SAT based education, this year we would lay emphasis on career counseling for students, in -service training for teachers. And in order to imbibe the spirit of competition we have also started Rifle Shooting Club for our children.
APS, Dagshai is a place where one learns about the totality and wholesome of life. We work at "PANCHMUKHI SHIKSHA" (five fold education- physical, practical, aesthetic, moral and intellectual). According to Vedanta philosophy human beings are multi-plane configurations. They live simultaneously in physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual plans. Hence, the aim of education is development of body, mind and soul.
According to Vedanta philosophy to develop the wholesome personality of an individual, value education should be the base. I quote:

"Watch your Values, they make your Sanskar.
Watch your Sanskar, they make your feelings.
Watch your Feelings, they make your Thoughts.
Watch your Thoughts, they make your Words.
Watch your Word, they make your actions.
Watch your Actions, they make your Habits.
Watch your Habits, they make your Destiny."

Hence, values are the keys to life which make a person happy and successful. In the APS Dagshai, we take into consideration these individual goals in the larger context of social goals. We believe that these children will grow to be either a husband or a wife, father or a mother, a neighbour or a member of our social fibre.
Here we nurture them to begin their journey of life. We wish each one of them good luck and God Speed!
