The sapling planted by a visionary  has grown into a huge oak tree – yes, over a span of  five decades, De Nobili School, Digwadih, with its humble beginning has become one of the premier institutions of Jharia-Dhanbad Coalfield. Hundreds and thousands of students who have graduated from De Nobili till date, are spread all over  the country and the globe as successful professionals, holding  prestigious positions in their own fields of work.

What makes De Nobili different from other schools? Apart from its majestic buildings, science labs, computer labs, library, huge play grounds – there is something else which makes De Nobili somewhat  ‘special’.  It  caters to the needs of  the taught, and  fosters human qualities in  them. It does not believe in imparting ‘knowledge’ merely as ‘information’ but insists on giving value-based education, which  the world needs today. Character building, and to be men for others  are  the objectives of  this Jesuit school. Having an educated head is important, but more important is to have an educated heart. Hence, De Nobili makes sure that we do not produce ‘educated barbarians’, but  physically, mentally, ethically and morally sound young men who cherish such values as discipline, honesty, compassion, humility, conviction and courage.  

Providing a conducive learning climate to the awareness of the social needs, the school has  always been a  wonderful example of equipping students to compete in the global arena more effectively. As an alumnus, I visualize tremendous potential in our students to not only become good professionals but above all,  to become good human beings – true ‘Nobilians’.

Sincerely yours,
