WORLD |
Massive disruptions, intense competitiveness, amplified focus on sustainability and highly volatile global dynamics are the truth of our times. At Navrachana University we are acutely aware that students who want to be successful in their professional and personal life, need to possess more than just academic knowledge. They need to become team players and refine their creative skills to be able to solve new-age challenges. They need to nurture and grow their social, psychological, emotional, and ethical quotients. They need to internalise the lessons that playing a sport teaches - that victory and losses are sides of the same coin and not to get disheartened by setbacks. Thus, at Navrachana we focus on holistic development of our students that goes beyond books and includes art, culture, sports, student-organized seminars, field trips, etc. |

Education is all about exploring our inner abilities and learning new things. During the last four years, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience through both – practical and theoretical exposure. I have not only learned things – but also applied it in real world scenarios.
