India Council for Integral Education (ICIE)
Unit of Sri Aurobindo Society, Pondicherry

improving education through innovative technology and growth of the Spirit


"We have travelled to another conception of the child as a soul with a being,
a nature and capacities of his own who must be helped to find them,
to find himself, to grow into their maturity, into a fullness of physical
and vital energy and the utmost breadth, depth, and height
of his emotional, his intellectual and his spiritual being."

- Sri Aurobindo
