“Work done with no concern or desire for the profit there from, purely out of love or from a sense of duty, is yoga. Service must be the outer expression of inner goodness.

Education is one of the most critical areas of empowerment of women.

This wing will inculcate spiritual thirst and moral strength in the teachers. The objectives of the courses offered under this wing are to work on the ‘SQ’ (Spiritual Quotient) and ‘HQ’ (Happiness Quotient) of the candidates. This is besides providing them with necessary teaching , interpersonal and .communication skills

THE NEED/STATISTICS

Offering basic education is one sure way of empowering women to making them equal stakeholders in life. An educated woman has the skills, information and self-confidence that she needs to be a better parent, worker and citizen. In the words of Aung San Suu Kyi, the education and empowerment of women throughout the world cannot fail to result in a more caring, tolerant, just and peaceful life for all.
