As the calendar year draws to a close, we pause to reflect on the journey of growth and transformation that has unfolded across the Bethany Educational Society. This edition of Suvidya Lahari primarily highlights the province-wide convention on "Bethany’s Way of Education – Transformative Education for Fullness of Life Towards Human Fraternity and the Priorities of the Platinum Jubilee."
As we bid farewell to 2024, we celebrate the milestones we’ve achieved, the resilience demonstrated by our students and educators, and the countless seeds of knowledge and empathy sown throughout the year. These seeds, we trust, will bloom into responsible citizens who embody love, service, and fraternity—principles at the heart of Bethany’s educational mission.
The year 2024 has also witnessed numerous natural and human-made calamities, such as destructive floods, environmental degradation, rising temperatures, and a growing lack of peace and harmony. In a world often divided by fragmentation, Bethany’s vision shines as a guiding light, promoting unity, compassion, and holistic development. The BES province-wide conventions brought together educators and leaders who reaffirmed our unwavering commitment to nurturing students not just for academic success, but in values that empower them to become catalysts for change. The transformative power of education lies in its ability to touch hearts, broaden minds, and inspire actions that contribute to the creation of a just and harmonious society.
Looking toward 2025, we carry with us a spirit of renewal and hope. May the coming year offer new opportunities for growth, deeper connections, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of education. Let us continue to walk this path together, fostering environments that nurture the mind, heart, and soul, and always striving for the fullness of life for all.
Wishing you a blessed and prosperous year ahead.
