S H JYOTHI CENTRAL SCHOOL
ARASUPARAMBU, NEDUMANGAD, TVM
ANNUAL REPORT 2025 – 2026
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverb 22:6)
“ Education is not the learning of arts but the training of the mind to think”.(Albert Einstein)
Simply acquiring knowledge and intellectual skills without developing ethical values, empathy and compassion is not a complete education. A true education should nurture both mind and heart. The team work of S H Jyothi tries to create a well-rounded individual, capable of making responsible and rightous decisions. And I am proud to say that our team work was tremendous resulting in admirable outcomes.
Looking back on our hitherto journey since 1991, in serving the cause of education, inspired by our founder Venerable Father Mathew Kadalikkattil, we take the gratification to say that we did our best to do as we planned and we are proud of our students and teachers who strive hard to achieve beyond their potential.
