Chairman of L’école Chempaka Society for Educare, Tagore Educational Trust, and Mira’s PMC Lakeshore Resort in India, as well as founder and former Managing Director of a K-12 education group in the Middle East, Mr.Vasudevan Nair Presanna Raj is a former banker turned entrepreneur and philanthropist in the sectors of education, healthcare, and hospitality.
The entrepreneurship of VNP Raj is focused on attainment of social grace through four support pillars. These pillars are building quality of its products; continuous creation of value to shareholders; organized policy, process, procedure, and governance to add value as well as transparency to regulators and all other stakeholders of a business.
“The future of civilization is, to a great extent, being written on the walls of the classrooms”, is paramount to create the ideal ambience that shapes the minds of the generations to come as the inheritors of the Earth, as rightly said by Milton Smith.
A successful education instils a flexible and open-minded mindset rooted in practical moral values that can be applied to real-world situations. Such an education empowers and creates a new generation of students who embody self-reliance, self-discipline, honesty, courage, and commitment to righteousness, even in the face of adversity. These students acquire the necessary skills and qualities to catalyze positive change, enthusiastically embracing challenges and seizing opportunities with a sense of duty. They emerge as innovative leaders and dependable citizens of the world.
Such an education imparted has a timeless message of having the "Right Attitude in the Right Direction" for future generations. This learning experience is akin to a potter's wheel, where every touch of the potter's hand and every rotation of the wheel shapes the wet clay and reshapes misshapen pottery. Each day in school is like being in a kiln, where the environment is moulded to foster a bond based on love, caring, sharing, empathy and respect to create a durable foundation for the future. All five fingers are united towards its focused goal of making the mould go far and beyond. This is achievable only by caring, committed, and dedicated teachers who worship this profession as a divine service to humanity.
Thus, a well-rounded education greatly emphasizes a student's physical, emotional, moral, psychological, and spiritual development. The main objective of this holistic education is to cater to all aspects of a student's learning experience, including academic, ethical, social, and emotional needs. The goal is to create an environment conducive to learning that offers comprehensive support services, fostering a safe and encouraging atmosphere where students can discover and showcase their unique abilities.
This type of education will entail teachers as torchbearers, mentoring students from diverse educational backgrounds and learning styles. Moreover, students are taught to self-reflect and consider how their actions impact the global and local community. They are encouraged to learn from the community by participating in projects requiring critical-thinking skills to solve real-world issues as change-makers who believe, “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”
I, V.N.P. Raj, am glad to introduce myself as an Educationist Entrepreneur from the cultural land of India. I am a post-graduate in Economics with a rich experience as a banking officer in the UAE and India. I am an entrepreneur with a vision of achieving profitability while prioritizing social grace. Through my extensive background in finance and exclusive research on education, I strongly believe that “Education is the cornerstone for a prosperous future of any nation”. I also affirm that private education can impact significant economic success while influencing positive societal outcomes, and these prospects not only serve investors well but also contribute to the greater good.
Originating from a strong cultural influence rooted in its values, I have a deep soulful passion for Education. As a dedicated educationist, I aim to ensure that schools offer children academic excellence and value-based education. I have devoted my life to creating a value-driven education system beyond the traditional knowledge and skills taught in schools and universities. With my long years of research and meditation, I have developed these unique values that enhance an individual's independent and interdependent functioning ability. Renowned as "Value-Based Education," I am keen to develop this education system in the Middle East, Western African countries, the Far East, and India in the initial phase.
Our education system is centered around values that aim to empower our stakeholders with the skills of resilience, passion, independence, and collaboration. These skills enable them to explore, innovate, and design their learning and working processes, leading them towards success. This educational model is supported by four key drivers of education that we promote:
I profoundly respect visionary leaders who dedicate themselves to education, which is a noble pursuit. My life's purpose is to promote education rooted in values that benefit humanity and ensure maximum profitability. We can achieve this vision with divine help and the compassionate efforts of social advocates. Let us come together and strive to make education accessible to all, creating a brighter future for generations to come.
To spread value-based education which celebrates 3 core values of learning, promotes 6 Pillars of Teaching and Learning Provision, 21 Ways of Learning for Children, as well as 28 Driving Principles for Children to the world, Mr. Raj acquired a premier educational group of institutions in Kerala, India.
In addition, for physical and mental health improvement based on Indian authentic herbal treatment under Ayurveda from Kerala and Siddha Vaidyam (Naturopathy) from Tamil Nadu, Mr. Raj acquired a health rejuvenation resort- PMC Lakeshore Resort in Alleppey, Kerala.
