Dear Children, Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail. Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different in each state of affairs … But Under any circumstance, simply do your best.

We at KRMMC with the guidance and blessings of Meena Aunty provide such platform for the students to be the best in whatever they do. I take this opportunity to thank all my fellow faculty members for their excellent support and dynamic efforts to imbibe new and innovative thoughts to make the next generation feel impossible things possible.

Wish you all a great success.

God bless you

Thank you.
