An anthropologist proposed a game to the African tribal children. He placed a basket of sweets near a tree And made the children stand 100 meters away. They announced that whoever reaches first would get all the sweets in the basket . When he said ‘ready , steady go!’.. Do you know what these children did? They all held each other’s hands & ran together towards the tree, Divided the sweets equally among themselves, ate the sweets and enjoyed it. When the Anthropologist asked them why they did so, They answered…..”Ubuntu”. Which meant- “How can one be happy when the others are sad?” Ubuntu in their language means “I am because we are”

The story says it all. The art of collaboration , connecting with the universe , growing together and above all being Happy and Creative , which is the mission for Silicon City international , Mysuru. At Silicon, we constantly endeavour to instill values and qualities in our children and help them grow into responsible global citizens of the future. We aim at unleashing the innate potential and talents in every child which enable them to explore and express themselves freely.

And as rightly said by Aristotle “Educating the minds without educating the hearts is no education at all”. We educate the heart of our learners , prepare them to take the ownership of their trajectory of growth and they know success will follow them this way.

Arise !! Awake!! And stop not till the road is reached
