"A teacher affects eternity; one can never tell where his influence stops."
Inspired from Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji, The Art of Living, Surat developed libraries for 6 free fchools Of Surat Municipal Corporation in June,2016 This time we have added two more libraries compared to the 4 of last year.
It was great privilege to inaugrate one of these libraries. This school is located at a remote locality named Bhimrad. Students here hail from such strata where the parents can't afford their uniforms too. For them having a library of their own was a big luxury.
We interacted with few teachers of this school and they were very grateful. They said these books would be useful for the generations to come and every year hundreds of students would get its benefit.
Truly, 'the beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.'

Dinesh Choudhary conducted a seminar on 'Key To Success' on June 18,2016 at Narmad Central Library. It was a marvellous session where people explored lasting & unconventional ways to success.
It is very rightly said "only those who are passionate to achieve, can achieve it". Also, real success according to me is when there is an undying smile on your face. Success is the confidence in a person that he can win, that he can overcome any obstacles, or any situations in his life.
Feels great to empower people for their successful journey! May all tread this path of joy.
