DR. MANMOHAN SINGH'S CONVOCATION MESSAGE

"The concept of Integral education that is a Divine gift of Bhagawan Baba to

this Institute, comes closest to ancient ideals. Blessed indeed are the

students who have had the privilege of going through an educational programme

which combines deep appreciation of the method of modern science and technology

and the ancient Indian knowledge and wisdom accumulated over the centuries. This

type of education can be a powerful means of self-perfection and social

redemption."
