History &
Objectives |
|
|
|
Rabindranath
Tagore, the eminent Indian Poet & Nobel Laurate has rightly said
that, "The aim of the |
|
education is to
enable the mind to find the truth, own it and express it, as well."
|
|
|
|
Indian Institute
of Sindhology took it seriously and resolved to bring great poet's
ideas into reality. |
|
Being practical,
it started a school named 'Sadhu Hiranand Navalrai Academy', after
two prominent |
|
Sindhi
reformists and educationists of Sindh, Sadhu Hiranand and Sadhu
Navalrai. |
|
This School was
started on the very auspicious day - Sadhu Vaswani's Birthday on
25th November |
|
1992. The
academy was inaugurated by our friend and patron Mr. Chellaram
Kriplani (Singapore), |
|
along with Mr.
Vikyomal Shroff (Dubai) and Ms. Shanti Gehani (Mumbai). |

|
|
This School has
been established with the broad objectives as given below : |

cultural roots, |
|
