Situated amidst verdant abundance and natural setting of semi urbanity, we constantly strive to impart a process of learning to our students the primary tenet of which – as we believe- is not a mere degree; it is the complete progression of a human mind towards a future that will enable her or him to strive towards sustained excellence and contribute to the nation and the global human race.

Kho kho, India’s very own sport and much-loved too, is drawing the attention of large companies as it readies to be presented in an Indian Premier League-style format to viewers.
Kho kho is a sport that everyone has played in their childhood. It has a deep connect with the masses. Like kabaddi, kho kho is a fast-paced game. There is constant movement and pace that keeps fans engaged. This got us excited, apart from it being an indigenous sport, which we wanted to give a modern avatar.
Kho kho is a home-grown sport. There are local units in multiple states and districts. It has an easy-to-play format and is followed by many people across the country. Globally, indigenous sports have enjoyed a high level of viewership in the countries they are played. So, we wanted to invest in a tournament that promotes sports such as kho kho. We have taken a step in that direction by investing in the Kho Kho league. Besides, we are in an agenda to promote the game which involves the less privileged of our nation.

On the 13th day of the war, the Kaurava General Guru Dronacharya created the ‘Chakravyuha’ a special military defensive circle which was eventually penetrated by the renowned warrior Abhimanyu. He was killed eventually by having to fight alone against 7 other warriors but he inflicted heavy casualties in return. His style of fighting reflects the concept of ‘ring play’ – a defensive tactic in Kho Kho. Many other similarities are seen but on a deeper level, Kho…

Our Bengal

Our Hooghly
The district of Hooghly is just 47 km north of Kolkata and is steeped in history and heritage. Dotted with several small but important towns, the district is testimony to the rule of foreign settlers-the British and Portuguese at Hooghly, the Dutch at Chinsurah, the French at Chandannagar, and the Germans and Austrians at Bhadreswar. The Portuguese were the first to settle here in 1537, but were defeated by Shah Jahan in 1632. The British East India Company then followed and set up a factory here in 1651. Chandannagar (Chandannagar) was once a French colony and is still under the…
