We know how busy are our parents in the 21st Century, but we also want to make sure that our students get the attention and love of their parents and family. Being a parent is more than paying bills and taking caring of the materialistic needs.

People often get confuse in ‘A Good Human Being’ and ‘A Successful Person’. The truth is, a good human being can always become successful but not the vice versa.

A bit of search on internet yielded interesting results, something which I would like to share with everyone. Curriculum Corner is a platform for creative people to come together and share their ideas and techniques of delivering academic content in novel ways. This helps the teaching community, in particular, to collaborate and integrate the best ideas, and weave them in their own curriculum to…
Written By: Satvinder Kaur Visiting Sai Siksha Sansthan reminded me of my fathers teachings – Happiness is not a commodity which you can buy, borrow or steal. It is a feeling, which comes from within and contentment is the seed of it. Students of Sai Siksha Sansthan are the reflection of this thought.
