As we thank teachers for educating us, 12 year old Praaptie from Bhubaneswar pens down a poem on the importance of knowledge in our lives.

Knowledge is strength

Knowledge is power

Knowledge is the treasure,

every human must acquire

Knowledge is liberation

when utterly unfurled

Knowledge is the lamp

that brightens up the whole world

Knowledge is eternal

Knowledge is infinite

Knowledge is the verses of Gita

Knowledge is the words of Christ

Knowledge is the radiance of the Sun

knowledge is the lustre of the stars

Knowledge is the best pal of mankind

that never goes too far

Knowledge enriches the mind

Knowledge sanctifies the soul

Knowledge is the highest virtue

and life’s ultimate goal

Knowledge opens the door to success

Knowledge makes the world simpler to access

Knowledge is the essence of life :

an all-encompassing solution to all strife
