HAYAGRIVA VIDHYASHRAM SCHOOL
ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019
“The end product of education should be a free creative man , who can battle against historical circumstances and adversities of nature” said Dr. S Radhakrishnan, who was a great Teacher. At HayagrivaVidhyashram , we , the entire teaching faculty, ably guided by the Hayagriva Educational Trust members are strenuously working towards this goal. The fundamental approach is not just giving education, but to go one step forward towards developing the students into good citizens and persons contributing to the society as they grow.
