Education is a continuous life long process. It is never ending-starts with the birth of an individual and then it goes on till the last day of the individual. 

Education makes an individual a real human being. It is an essential human virtue. Man becomes a good man through education. He learns something at every moment and on every day. 

Education equips social, moral cultural and spiritual aspects and thus makes life progressive, culture and civilized.

Gone are the days when education was the right of a privileged few. Now all have the equal rights to be educated as education has become sine quo non of civilization.
