Swami Vivekananda says,

“Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man”.

Indian culture and spirituality together form the backbone of India and they are to be nourished and passed on to generations. Human Excellence aims at imparting a vision of Indian culture, Ethics, Values and Spiritual concepts in a modern way to the youth through scientific and rational approach.

Human Excellence is a man – making process towards achieving Good health, Sound mind, Intellectual sharpness and Character building among the youth. This integrated approach will result in individual peace and prosperity leading to Social, National and Global peace and prosperity by unfolding the hidden potentials of the youth.

The visionary Saint Swami Ranganathananda, who made the concept of Human Excellence known to Indian Educationalists says, “A new concept of Human Excellence must inspire our youths so that, on entering a college or a University, they will learn the need and the technique of seeking excellence in different fields according to their capacity. And how many are the varieties of Excellence intellectual, social, political, artistic and religious. Which way is it to be developed in India? It is these multi-faceted excellences indeed that go to make a Nation great. Excellence is the correct prescription for India today.
