EKLAVYA MODEL RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS

EKLAVYA MODEL RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS

The circular emblem of Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) has the motifs of a big tree holding a school building with an open book placed in it on a dark violet background. Its motto in Sanskrit meaning ‘सा विद्या या विमुक्तये’ (Rishi Parāśara, 1,19.41, Viṣṇu Purāṇa) meaning ‘Knowledge  is one that Liberates’ demonstrates that the truth that learning ultimately frees one from ignorance is placed below the motif. Its name and affiliated Ministry are written on the circular border ensconcing the violet circle. The tree symbolises strength, individuality, expression, calmness, growth, the interconnectedness of everything and perpetuity; the building refers to the school and the book refers to knowledge, education, wisdom and learning.
