Dear friends education becomes complete when a child is able to fully discover himself or herself and be ready to face the world with full confidence. Today education has become mere mark oriented exercise, as a result, we tend to forget the other side of the child.
We can’t blame anybody rather we have to collar bate and look into the micro need of a child, we may have to create an extracurricular activity where the overall personality of a child is taken care.
Equal importance to study as well as extracurricular activities must be planned so that the child grows in a balanced way possible.Education is nothing but creating a citizen for the country with discipline, values, a strong love for the country fellow men and for the nation as a whole.
