Birla Public School is the offspring of a long
cherished dream of the Birla group of companies
to expand their mission of education to the
expatriates of the Gulf region. Birlas, already
titans in the field of education in India, are
always eager to serve the cause of India or
Indians anywhere in the world. It was on 10th
April, 2004 that the doyen of Indian industries
Dr. Mrs. Sarala Birla and Mr. B.K. Birla
inaugurated the Birla Public School, Doha, and
thus wrote a new chapter in the checkered
history of the Birlas.
It has to be affirmed that the Birla philosophy
of education has stood its ground and proved to
the whole world that holistic development of the
child should be the touchstone of any
educational venture. In this regard, it is not
only the mind of the child that is illuminated
at Birla Public School, but his body and spirit
are enlightened so that he fits harmoniously
into the society. A Birla student is someone who
would stand out in the crowd, not just because
he would excel in his vocation or his assigned
role in life, but because he would shine as a
beacon of hope in the wearied world. And hope
alone would sustain the kaleidoscopic unfolding
of life in this world.
Today, as at no other time, the world stands in
need of men and women who are great visionaries.
When humanity is faced with the two demonic
alternatives of coexistence and co- destruction,
don't we need to pause and ponder? It is in this
context that the Birla philosophy of holistic
development of the child comes to the fore and
declares in unalloyed terms that tomorrow's
leaders, tomorrow's citizens should be staunch
believers in character building. And character
building, as educational psychologists say does
not happen naturally but is a deliberate
creation.
The teachers of Birla Public School instill a
sense of wonder in their students - a sense of
wonder at this unfathomable universe and
the great phenomenon of humanity. This sense of
awe and admiration of the universe will evolve
our students into total persons.
The Birlas prove that industry and commerce can
also be carried out from a humanitarian
perspective. The ambitious venture of Birla
Public School will stand the test of time and would
be a role model for all educational undertakings. |
