Princess Aswathy Thirunal Gauri Lakshmi Bayi, a member of the royal family of the former princely state of Travancore, is the niece of Sri Chitira Thirunal Rama Varma, the last ruler of the state. Her Highness is an exuberant visionary who blends royalty with simplicity.
From ancient times education enjoyed a divine and exalted standing on the Indian canvas. 'Imparting Vidya' ranked among the great 'Danams', while 'Devi Puranam' declares 'Vidya danam maha danam' and 'Padma Puranam' proclaims 'Vidya danam vishishyate'. Education and knowledge are two different things. While education is increasingly structured, knowledge is far superior and is super refined. Value oriented education is the prime necessity of the society where values are disintegrating, or getting polluted with unhealthy influences.
Moulding the young in a holistic manner is the crying need of the times. We at Pragati hope to convert this dream to reality. We pray to our Guru Parampara and the arbiter of destiny, to guide, guard and bless at every step.
