"If You are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people" - Chinese Proverb. Education is the most precious possession owned by any. It manifests love and drives away the ignorance. The darkness gets illuminated in the commencement of education which brings good thought and action in human beings. It empowers woman folk and enlarges the horizon of her mind. It energizes a society and enables a man to earn his living with respect and praise. As it is rightly said by Nelson Mandela "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world".
