He said Bhavan’s has always believed that education should not be limited to academic excellence alone but should prepare students to become responsible, capable and ethical citizens. The establishment of the Tech Innovation Lab, he said, was another pioneering step towards achieving the goal of holistic education by integrating science, technology, creativity and practical learning.
“The objective is to nurture young minds and prepare them for the challenges of the future while maintaining the values and principles of education,” he said.
