VEDA - OPEN BOOK

Veda signifies an open mind, which is ever so ready to absorb, imagine, consider, develop and learn. We believe that every 'Vedanyan' will nurture a lifelong love for knowledge and forge a relationship with reading, understanding, perception, exploration and innovation.

"Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in," said Aristotle, the philosopher.
"Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last," said the omniscient Sherlock Holmes.
Inquiry fuels curiosity. Vedanyans question, explore, and seek deeper understanding.

ANYA – ENDLESS FLIGHT

Anya symbolizes the search for exploration, which gives wings to the learner's creativity and problem solving capabilities. We believe that every 'Vedanyan' will soar great heights in the pursuit of discovery through imagination and creation.

"My words fly up, my thoughts remain below. Words without thoughts never to heaven go," says Claudius, in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

UDAYA – RISING SUN

Udaya represents the dawn of a new morning, which is steeped with dreams, hope and opportunities. We believe that every 'Vedanyan' will recreate and redesign innovative, empathetic and sustainable possibilities into fresh and vibrant realities.
