Jagadguru lays foundation stone at High School


 

On 20th February, the Jagadguru went to Torehedlu Silver Jubilee of Government High School. On this occasion, the Jagadguru laid the foundation stone for a new library to be named Sri Bharati Tirtha Granthalaya and released a souvenir. In His benedictory address, the Jagadguru said “Education is man’s priceless wealth. No one can steal this wealth. Hence everyone should strive to earn the wealth that is education. A student must study with diligence and without any room for sloth. It is essential for the student to acquire humility along with education. Only then can education be deemed complete and meaningful. One must always show respect to one’s teachers irrespective of one’s exalted office, learning and wealth. One must never think that I know everything and develop pride. One must realize that there is so much more to learn and remain humble.” It is worth noting that this school is amongst the dozens of schools whose students are offered midday-meals by the Peetham under its Nitya Annadana scheme.
