3. It’s a proud privilege to become a part of the newsletter, which is a
mirror of the tireless endeavour put in by the Modernites. It is a glimpse
of the unflinching dedication, devotion and exemplary spirit of our
students. This issue is an open window through which one can see the
panoramic view of the diligence to portray the vibrant culture into a piece
of writing. I believe that there is nothing more stimulating than a good
piece of information in the print form as it has proved to be the perfect
platform to showcase the talents of our students. Last but not the least, a
note of gratitude to everyone who helped in giving the desired shape to
the present issue of the newsletter.
“The future of humanity is in the hands of those who are capable of providing
the generations to come with reasons for life and optimism.”

4. I greet all my students and the staff members on the release of this current issue of
the newsletter . It’s a matter of immense pleasure to see my students keeping pace
with the changes going on across the globe along with the life skills. It is our
utmost sincere duty to ensure that the blooming buds’ upbringing must inculcate
self-discipline while excelling in their lives. Greatness in any field is never achieved
in its absence. It is the way to attain strength of will, breadth of sympathy,
loftiness of character and consequent holistic development in real terms.
“Perfection of human system both mind and body is to be sought and struggled for
and then it is gained.”
I am sure, “The music will remain in the heart long after it is heard no more. “
Looking forward for another milestone to be attained……..
