Founder s Message
P r i n c i p a l ' s M e s s a g e
We are at the doorstep of another ending of an incredible academic session here at Gurukul.
The journey was adventurous to see things move proficiently. I extend my gratitude to the
Management, Board Members and Parents for their kind presence and true blessings.
With the presence of guests, a good blend of theory and practical assembly was experienced
by students. One of the guests drew the difference between aptitude and attitude and how
does it make a difference in one's life. The other side of the fence saw the comparison
between microand macroeconomicstwistingturns in the global market.
I thank everyone for the trust and we will pursue our goals with the same zeal and dedication
that wehave exhibited over the months.
I wish my B.Com students ‘Best of Luck’ in their examination and I am confident that they
willoutshine with flyingcolors.
As difficult as it can sometimes feel, I've always believed that challenges can be a good
motivator. Through day wise instruction, our students recognize the expectation… Do the
right thing, even when no one is watching! Grounded on strong environment, the experience
servestoformlong-lasting memorieswith our students.
I appreciate the contribution of our entire members who stands beside as a pillar of support to
makethe visionconcrete.
The Gurukul is a paradise of teaching - learning, cementing the dream vision of our Founder
tocraft aCA cocoon inthe country.

Creating a positive first
impression ensures what guests
experience when visiting
Gurukul and encourages them to
retain the goodwill of the host
members.
It's helpful so that challenges can
be addressed. Recommendations
and support makes a tremendous
impact on the future empowering
to help members learn, grow, and
achieve.Likewise, it was an
opportunity to welcome Mr. Balvir
Singh a retired air force officer
with his family, sharing the
intensive life experiences and
drawing the line between the two
words - aptitude and attitude.
It is to ascertain how learning can
make these interactions positive
and deduce the skills from real
life situations.
