This event aims to bring to fore the essence of wisdom of the great educational thinker/ philosopher i.e., Swami Dayanand Saraswati.  He puts emphasis on the view that Education (Shiksha) is that which helps one to acquire knowledge, culture, righteousness, self-control and the like virtues; and eradicates ignorance and evil habits. He suggested the multisided curriculum, perfection and importance of humanism and rationalism. According to Swami Dayananda education imparts true and real knowledge about master, self-development and welfare of all living beings. In other words, it should inculcate a spirit of service and help to others. In this way, according to Swami Ji, education is a supreme and most important moral process for the development of mankind. Swami Dayananda says, “A man without education is only a man in name. It is bound in duty of a man to get education, become virtuous, be free from malice and preach for all well-being of people advancing the cause of righteousness.”

The discussion of the philosophy of education presented by Dayananda leads one to the conclusion that his aim was an education for perfection. He sought this aim most vigorously even sometimes presenting schemes that were far from practicable and demanding standards and virtues which could not be attained even by the selected person. He demanded a very high standard of character and conduct. He wanted to realize all-round perfection.

Just like Swami Dayanand Ji, our organization aims towards the empowerment of youth and promotes education for all students. This event is to encourage students to study and perform better and to take inspiration from all the great personalities of our nation who promoted education for everyone and had/have an aim towards literate and developed India.
