There will always be schools that can push more and more funds into their infrastructure, but when it comes to "SVEA" it's always about principles first and creating a 'difference'.
In my life, there are a few people from whom I took immense inspiration and courage. In this list of people, the first position would be held by my father and the second by Sir our Rector Sir. I always take encouragement from his qualities of truth, honesty, perseverance, confidence, vision.
Whenever I come across any hurdle as a startup entrepreneur or even in my day-to-day life, his qualities and principles serve as a source of encouragement. I always feel that everyone at “SVEA,” from the teaching and management group, has and will always keep his qualities, methodologies, work ethics and commitment alive.
Back in 1993-94, my father, who worked in the then Telecommunication Department of India, was transferred from Golaghat to Guwahati. I studied there at the “Sacred Heart School.” My father could have easily admitted me into “Don Bosco, Guwahati;” he even had a reference letter from the school missionary. But he always felt that ‘principles’ matter the most in life and education; and believed that I would achieve something ‘different,’ from “SVEA.” Hence, he took a decision ‘differently’ and enrolled me into “SVEA,” in the fourth standard.
Rector Sir also believed in doing something ‘different.’ As I grew up and passed out, my father’s expectations have been fulfilled. Today, I, too, believe in doing things ‘differently.’
There will always be schools that can push more and more funds into their infrastructure, but when it comes to “SVEA,” it's always about principles first and creating a ‘difference,’ and I wish that this remains as it is in all time to come.
