As Swami Vivekanand says, “There is a need for education through which knowledge is imparted, the character is formed, the strength of mind is enhanced, the intellect horizon is expanded which will help individuals to stand on their own feet and work towards nation building at large”. This can ideally be said as ‘Holistic or Pragmatic development of individuals for the betterment of society at large.’
Saint Dalai Lama observes civilization today and is more premised on materialistic values. They are more outward/extroverted and hungry in search of peace and happiness through material gain. There is no question on the quest to make life easier and simpler.
While a strong ideology is professed, a scientist like Albert Einstein shows the path to practice the ideology. He states, “I never teach my disciples. I only provide the conditions in which they can learn."
Inspiration of SHD

Education is the most important medium that enables everyone to increase the horizon of thoughts and imagination. In the ever-changing global scenario which is marching towards a successful and meaningful life, education bestows upon us the ability to choose to learn, unlearn, and relearn while evolving processes to progress in life. While there has been marked progress and research in the field of education through invention, the application of such knowledge for the betterment of society at large is not creating a win-win situation. The macro-level impact on the society at large has roots in every individual’s micro-level development. The development is complete only when all the aspects of the personality are addressed in detail. Being part of MAEER, MIT ADT University works on guiding principles of creating ‘winning personalities’ in the making. Undergraduates are in their most vibrant stage of life. Every Student is at a crucial juncture because; he/she is at nearing the end of education and aspiring to venture into a professional life. It becomes more important to evaluate at this stage of what all can make the overall development of a personality. The development of personality includes sound body, mind, psychology, personality and value system. If today, this is not thought about, tomorrow, we may not have time to think and which may impact our lives forever.

The entire globe today is witnessing and experiencing the mind-boggling scientific and technological developments like artificial intelligence, internet, web management on one hand and total chaos, confusion, clashes, conflicts, terrorism, bloodshed and massacre in the name of caste, creed, or religion on the other hand. In the midst of this challenging environment, to promote good character building among the young generation, MIT ADT University, strictly follows the ethos of value-based education, in accordance with MAEER’s philosophy. The School of Holistic Development has been instituted to address the above needs of the education system today.

Dear Student,

MIT School of Holistic Development endeavours to nurture a 'wholesome personality' to create winning personalities and comprehensive global professionals, well equipped with knowledge, skills, competencies, values, and ethical orientation - continuing to tend the tree expanding its branches whose seed was sown on 2nd August 2018 with a vision to create winning personalities enabling them to meet challenges of a career with a sense of responsibility towards society and humanity. The school mainly works on five aspects of integral education called the 'Panch Kosha System' of Indian perspective for holistic development. The Panch Kosha system denotes five dimensions of human personality - stability, vitality, clarity, wisdom, and bliss, which we consider the secrets of creating a winning personality. The School of Holistic Development cultivates a unique value system and thought process among students by offering various programmes. In the first year, we develop English Communication of all students and take their communication skills to the next level, which is required to groom their professional personality. We also take care of the health of students through various initiatives of Health Practices including yoga, swimming, gym, PT, aerobics, diet and so on. A monotonous life can create stress and boredom. Considering this factor, we believe in nurturing students’ hobbies by offering courses in Creative and Performing Arts in the second year which include around twenty electives of Art, Dance, Music, Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Literature, Design, Digital Literacy, Event Management, Drama, Marketing, Branding & Promotion, Design Thinking, etc. to develop their aesthetic sense and creative and critical thinking. We also conduct a unique course called Societal Immersion, Spirituality and Morality in the second year and undertake various initiatives like tree plantation, blood donation, social work in collaboration with NGOs and Industry through their CSR activities. In the third year, we jump-start with exposure to Foreign Languages. These languages help them to explore international opportunities for higher education, research, and career. Holistic development is the sustainable way of the future and the SHD team is committed to creating responsible and wise individuals who do not wait for opportunities but create them, who face failures with courage and success with commitment. With a sense of pride and immense satisfaction, we enunciate that the School of Holistic Development will be the milestone in MIT-ADT University's history which will set the highest benchmark for developing students’ personalities not only in India but across the globe.Friends, the opportune time to transform your life awaits you right here. We do hope you take this opportunity and make the most of the best that is offered to you.
