Sarvottam International School was founded over 60 years ago by the United Group, an industrial house involved in manufacturing kitchenware. The school's motto is "Belonging - Being - Becoming" which focuses on strengthening bonds within the global community and emphasizing personal growth and change. Sarvottam provides excellence in education from primary to higher levels. It also focuses on vocational training to help students find careers. While India has made efforts to provide education for all, challenges remain in achieving universal literacy, with rural areas and girls facing greater barriers. Sarvottam aims to empower students socially, morally and ethically through a focus on quality education.

“Learning gives creativity,
Creativity leads to thinking,
Thinking provides knowledge,
Knowledge makes you great.”
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Inspired by this saying the founders
of Sarvottam International School
adopted their motto of the school as
“Belonging - Being - Becoming”
Belonging strengthens the bond
between the children and the global
community. Being recognizes who
children are and who they become.
Becoming reflects the process of
rapid and significant changes.

The Indian government lays emphasis to primary education up to the age of
fourteen years (referred to as Elementary Education in India. The Indian
government has also banned child labour in order to ensure that the children
do not enter unsafe working conditions. However, both free education and
the ban on child labour are difficult to enforce due to economic disparity and
social conditions.80% of all recognized schools at the Elementary Stage are
government run or supported, making it the largest provider of education in
the Country.
However, due to shortage of resources and lack of political will, this system
suffers from massive gaps including high pupil to teacher ratios, shortage of
infrastructure and poor levels of teacher training. Figures released by the
Indian government in 2011 show that there were 5,816,673 elementary
school teachers in India. As of March 2012 there were 2,127,000 secondary
school teachers in India.

• The National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986, has provided for
environment awareness, science and technology education, and
introduction of traditional elements such as Yoga into the Indian
secondary school system. Secondary education covers children 14–
18 which covers 88.5 million children according to the Census,
2001. However, enrolment figures show that only 31 million of these
children were attending schools in 2001–02, which means that two-
third of the population remained out of school.
• A significant feature of India's secondary school system is the emphasis
on inclusion of the disadvantaged sections of the society. Professionals
from established institutes are often called to support in vocational
training.

WORLD, after China and the United States.
The main governing body at the tertiary level is the University Grants
Commission (India), which enforces its standards, advises the government,
and helps coordinate between the centre and the state. Accreditation for higher
learning is overseen by 12 autonomous institutions established by the University
Grants Commission. In India, education system is reformed. In future, India will
be one of the largest education hub.

universalize and improve the quality of elementary education in
India.
