नास्ति विद्या समं चक्षु
नास्ति सत्य समं तपः |
नास्ति राग समं दुःखं
नास्ति त्याग समं सुखं ||
“There is no vision like education, there is no penance as the owe of truth,
There is no pain as that caused by desire, there is no act that gives more happiness than sacrifice.”
(Shantiparv, Mahabharat)
Education is a Chariot which takes the nation to the journey for overall development. Education is considered to be powerful instrument of bringing desirable changes for the betterment of the society and world. Hence, it is indispensable to individual and Society.

While visualizing and aiming the above we are committed towards contemporary practices in following areas:
India is a country which is leading in youth power globally. Hence, the students and teachers must be skilled, value oriented and devoted to the goal of nation building. Unless we are Self-reliant and progressive, we cannot lead the knowledge society. Today quality expansion is sought in all the sectors of Education which can meet the needs of society. Value based education can lead the society towards human dignity and social coexistence.
Creating a good teaching learning environment and bringing innovation and new ideas through open and distance mode in schooling and certificate/diploma vocational skill oriented courses is our utmost goal. Use of ICT with professional ethics will definitely change the conventional system of Education into a more updated and advanced education system in tune to the global education. A constant teacher by heart, famous philosopher and second President of Independent India Dr. S. Radhakrishnan considered the whole world as a school. He believed that only through education can the human mind be properly utilized. Therefore, the world should manage education as a single entity.
We at NIOS are committed towards achieving highest goal of Nation building through providing quality education with the mission of:
काले खलु समारब्धा फलं बध्नन्ति नीतय:
