For the growth and sustenance of any society or country or
world at large unimpeachable leadership is an indispensable factor.
The world has always been led either to development or to ruin by
leaders of varying natures at different times in the history of human
civilization. What our scientifically, materially, and economically
developed world requires today is selfless, God fearing, altruistic
and morally driven leaders. The word "Leaders" does not remain
confined only to administrators or politicians. Rather, leaders
include devoted teachers, writers, lawyers, social workers, IT
experts and so on.
Hence, the ultimate objective of educational institutions ought
not to be just the creation of skilled workforce only. While that is
important, no one denies that, educational institutions should also
focus on the creation of people of unquestionable integrity. They
should strive hard to create citizens who are able to become vibrant,
transforming forces on all spheres of social life - people who can
lead and guide their fellow citizens to fashion a harmonious as well
as equitable world which today seems to be more elusive than ever.
It was with this objective that START was established and it still
continues to pursue, with relentless determination, to achieve those
objectives through the students trained here.
The course of study followed here, therefore, places great
emphasis upon the development of a balanced personality, rooted in
Christian values, spiritual enlightenment and social commitment.
It promotes the cultivation of robust intellectual vigour, moral
integrity and skills in communication that are required to convert
young individuals to agents of change in society and competent
leaders in their chosen fields of activity
