Aryabhatta
Yellow

Aryabhatta House

Knowledge & Wisdom

Named after the renowned mathematician who covered arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, quadratic equations and astronomical calculations. He described the geocentric model of the solar system, eclipses and the place value system including zero in the year 476.

TSN believes in "Knowledge is Power" but until knowledge is turned into wisdom it is useless. Following the footprints of Aryabhatta, TSNites should be able to touch the limitless sky of knowledge turned into wisdom.

Eklavya
Red

Eklavya House

Sacrifice & Dedication

Named after the great archer from the epic Mahabharat, Eklavya inspires TSNites for sacrifice and dedication to their teachers. His life teaches us that belief in yourself, dedication, self study, regular practice and concentration can make the impossible happen.

Tansen
Green

Tansen House

Adaptability & Gratitude

Named after the legendary classical music composer, musician and vocalist who was among the nine jewels at the court of Mughal Emperor Akbar. Originally a Hindu child named Ramtanu, his metamorphosis into Mian Tansen teaches TSNites to adapt to circumstances and be grateful to their masters.

Valmiki
Blue

Valmiki House

Determination & Devotion

Named after the celebrated poet in Sanskrit literature, Valmiki was once a highway robber who meditated for many years and later wrote the Ramayan, revered as Adi Kavi — the first poet. His story tells TSNites that with determination and devotion we can bring the aspired change within ourselves.
