Preserving the Ideals of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak: A Continuing Legacy
Mahatma Gandhi’s statement regarding Bal Gangadhar Tilak being the ‘Maker of Modern India’ is a profound homage to the influence and impact that our great leader has on our country.
We remember this great leader as a freedom fighter, a social reformist and an educationist whose legacy still serves as an inspiration to us at Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association.
Our motto, ‘न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते’, sums up this renowned scholar’s views on the power of education. An educationist par excellence and a visionary, he believed that education plays an important role in shaping a nation’s future and destiny.
His vision for education was centred around holistic development with the ultimate aim of fostering responsible citizens. This vision has been at the core of our educational practices for over 100 years.
The importance of the mother tongue and practical education has been stressed in his educational philosophy. We have been striving to provide our students with relevant and experiential learning experiences to achieve these very objectives.
Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak believed that education is the most powerful tool for creating empowered and responsible citizens and we continue to honour his legacy by striving for excellence in imparting quality education to our students.
Join us as we continue the great work of nation-building, following in the footsteps of our role model, our inspiration, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak… keeping his memories and legacy alive…
