Parindey- Wings on Fire!!!

The Sky is waiting for you!!!


“It is in education, that you shall find liberation!!!”
-Nelson Mandela

Education is the most powerful weapon which one can use to change the whole world. But do we know the full potential of this weapon?? The answer is NO. In the urban areas most of the students are either confused or have a haphazard way of preparation. So they lag behind in a competitive arena. While in, rural areas the situation is even graver. They doubt the scope of education and eventually they step into their family occupation. Being a member of this elite technical society, it’s our social responsibility to let them know why they are lagging behind. Live as if u were to die tomorrow and learn as not just filling the mind with lots of facts, it is the light that can convert you into a perfect human being.
