One can only be a nice person if he or she chooses to be. Education is the most powerful tool for shaping an individual's behaviour. Education is essential not only in shaping an individual's behaviour, but also in assisting him or her in determining what is right and wrong.

According to one adage, a child's first classroom is at home, where he or she learns behaviour, attitude, and, most importantly, respect for others. Parents play a larger part in developing their children to become the people they want to be in the future.

The globe is in turmoil—wars between states, battles, and animosity between religions, castes, cultures, languages, and so on—at an alarming rate. Do we want our children to grow up in such a setting or environment? Parents, in addition to their cooperation and support for the school where their children are enrolled, should make a solid commitment not to raise their children in this hostile environment.

Teaching children excellent values and setting a good example for them through your own behaviour can help them grow and learn. Through this, the child would learn to be a better person, using all of his potential while learning in school and at home under your care and supervision. Let us strive together to develop a magnificent nation in which everyone can live in peace and harmony.

I wish you the best of luck with everything you do.

With peace and love
