On Saturday, April 16, 2011, His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj inaugurated a Sant Nirankari Pre-School in Tilak Nagar, Delhi.  His holy mother Rev Nirankari Rajmata Kulwant Kaur Ji and his gracious spouse Pujya Mata Sawinder Ji also joined him in lighting the sacred lamp.  Earlier, Baba Ji inaugurated the building of the school by cutting a ribbon.

Addressing the students, their parents, Members of the Staff and Management of the school, His Holiness said, “Children have many hidden qualities which teachers have to reveal.  It’s for the teachers to promote the spirit of patriotism and human values in the children right from beginning, so that the country in general and their parents in particular feel proud of them.  Today, they are not getting a pleasant atmosphere at home because the families generally suffer from bitterness.  The children, therefore, need multi-dimensional development.

The Sant Nirankari Mission’s educational institutions do not provide academic education only, they promote human values in them also, so that they become responsible and successful citizens of the country.  These institutions were set up by Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji with the objective to provide education in backward areas, suffering from the lack of these facilities.  Ever since the Mission has been making a significant contribution in this field.

Sant Nirankari Pre-schools are a unique concept.  These schools provide a beautiful atmosphere to the children.  This Mission believes in humanity.  So, there is no discrimination here.  Every effort, every contribution is, therefore, made with the objective of social welfare only, which is worth appreciating, of course.”

Addressing the function, the Chief Guest Shri O.P. Babbar, MLA, said that His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj is spreading the message of love in the world.  His Mission is certainly great.  The Mission’s educational institutions are providing a very high quality education.  Along with academic courses, they provide moral and spiritual education.  This is a fine effort towards raising the children as responsible citizens of the country.  In fact, we must prepare them to take the responsibility of the country on their shoulders as they grow up.

The Guest of Honour Shri Yash Pal Arya, Municipal Councilor, Delhi appreciated the Sant Nirankari Public Schools where children are taught to love their country.  They are working towards multi-dimensional development of the children.

Dr. R.S. Kapoor, Member Incharge, Education said that the Sant Nirankari Public Schools have quite a different image as compared to others who seem to be earning bad name for their tendency to collect money only.  Here children belonging to the parents of every section of the society are given admission.  In fact, those who go after material gains only, stay far away from spirituality, whereas the Sant Nirankari Public Schools provide a healthy mix of spirituality with the academic courses.

The Incharge of the Sant Nirankari Pre-Schools, Smt. Narinder Batra informed the gathering that Tilak Nagar is the fourth Pre-School in the series.  The Mission has already set up such schools in Sant Nirankari Colony, Avtar En-clave and Malviya Nagar.  She said that with the most modern facilities, these Pre-schools have already established a very good reputation in the society.
