GUIDED BY TIMELESS VALUES
SHAPED FOR THE FUTURE

A learning philosophy that brings together knowledge, character, creativity, and
Indian values to nurture confident and compassionate individuals.

Our Philosophy

Knowledge, Values & the Spirit of Learning
At The Manik Public School, education is guided by the principle of “Tejasvi-Naava Dhita-Mastu”, reflecting the belief that knowledge shared between the Guru and the learner should be meaningful, pure, and enlightening. Our philosophy combines the wisdom of Indian traditions with contemporary education, encouraging students to think, question, create, and grow with confidence and purpose.
This philosophy is beautifully represented in the school crest. The two swans symbolise the Guru and the learner, united by the eternal flame of knowledge, while the temple dome represents the grace and guidance of Shri Sadguru Manik Prabhu Maharaj. Together, these elements reflect the values of learning, wisdom, character, and spiritual grounding that shape every Manikian.

Welcome to The Manik Public School
“The Modern Day Gurukul”
It was the vision of Shri Siddharaj Manik Prabhu Maharaj, inspired by his formative years at the prestigious Scindia School, Gwalior, that led to the establishment of a CBSE co-educational boarding school amidst the serene hillocks of Manigiri in 1972. At that time, the very idea of creating such an institution in this region appeared as formidable as the hills themselves. Yet, through determination, faith, and collective effort, that vision has flourished into a remarkable educational movement.
For over five decades, The Manik Public School has evolved into a distinguished centre of learning for the people of Kalyana Karnataka and beyond. Today, we proudly stand as a truly multilingual and multicultural institution, nurturing students from Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and many other parts of the country.
Over the years, the The Manik Public School has built a rich legacy of excellence in academics, sports, arts, life skills, and co-curricular activities. From a modest beginning with only a few buildings in 1972, the campus has expanded significantly while retaining its founding values and ethos. Our vibrant residential community now comprises six houses — Siddharaj House, Shankar House, and Martand House for boys, and Laxmibai House and Muktabai House for girls — each fostering leadership, camaraderie, discipline, and healthy competition.
It is indeed a matter of immense pride that the The Manik Public School continues to educate and nurture more than 500 students year after year, while consistently achieving laurels in both academic and non-academic spheres.
As I assume the responsibilities of the Officiating Principal, I consider it a privilege and honour to lead Team MPS and carry forward this unique journey of spiritual and academic excellence, harmoniously complemented by sports, skills, and holistic development. While we have embraced technology and transformed ourselves into an IT-enabled institution, we continue to cherish our timeless traditions of prayer, meditation, and value-based education.
I firmly believe that education is not merely the pursuit of knowledge but the cultivation of character, compassion, and confidence. It is my sincere hope that The Manik Public School will continue to inspire, rejuvenate, and empower every child who walks through its portals, preparing them to face the future with wisdom, resilience, and integrity.
I warmly invite you to be a part of this enduring legacy and transformative educational journey.
With best wishes,

Shri Anandraj Manik Prabhu
