On her shoulders, rests the responsibility of founding an ideal nation and civilization. Hence, when we undertake to run an institution for the girls as well as for boys, we endeavour not only to teach women but we teach the whole family and consequently prepare a nation of worth and virtues, which is truly patriotic and progressing. In the era of spiritual and moral bankruptcy, this club strives to cultivate in the hearts of the young students real ethical values, absolute truth and goodness.
We aim to:
(i) Work for women empowerment through education with special focus on boys and girls from rural areas.
(ii) Create among an awareness regarding social evils like female foeticide, female infanticide, dowry,drug addiction, child right and women right etc.
