Tatkarma yanna bandhay sa vidya ya vimuktaye.
Aayasayaparam karma vidanya shilpanaipunam.
– Shri Vishnu Puran
That is, that which does not create bondage is karma and that which paves the way for liberation is vidya. The rest of the karma is hard work and other methods are just art and skill.
Indian sages and wise men have called knowledge (Vidya) as the means of man’s liberation. Man has desired freedom from fear, hunger, bad habits, bad tendencies, bad conduct, weakness, poverty, inferiority, disease and grief since time immemorial.

The above Mahavakya of Shri Vishnu Puran gives us the message that man should strive hard to get rid of all his troubles through knowledge. Education is the fruit of sacrifice and penance, that is why the attainment of knowledge is always laborious.

Come, let us all be disciplined and dedicated and make a sincere effort to acquire knowledge by using all the available resources in a dignified manner. By incorporating proper diet, behavior and thoughts in our daily routine, let us make the infinite possibilities given by nature to us as a person flourish and blossom in the light of the sacred energy of knowledge.

We all recite this sutra from Taittreya Upanishad of Krishna Yajurveda every day in the morning prayer assembly in our schools: –

Om Saha Navavatu Saha Nau Bhunaktu, Saha Viryam Karvaavhai.
Tejasvi Navadhitamtsu Ma Vidvishavhai, Om ShantiH ShantiH ShantiH.

Come, let us understand the great message hidden in this sutra and imbibe it in our lives and do our daily work. I send my heartfelt best wishes to all the officers, principals, teachers, students and employees of Delhi division and wish everyone a successful and happy future.
