" Sanawar was a unique and invaluable experience. It provided numerous educational opportunities - the camps, the sports and other extra curricular activities combined a healthy emphasis on studies. For example, the cycling expedition from Sanawar to Kanyakumari in Decmber 1977 provided me an opportunity to see rural India and her rich culture. Most importantly, I learnt to think independently and to understand that even if you have given 100%, it is the extra 1% that makes the crucial difference …and that makes you a better person.""

"Sanawar was instrumental in providing me with the vision that success is inevitable 'if you stick it still.'"
