Students of each house will have separately coloured trousers & dresses representing the house which they belong to. With a common goal of building a sense of unity and learning as a team, all houses strive to inculcate the most mindful values amid students.

1. CHARAKA HOUSE:

Named safter Rishi Charaka, who was borne 5000 years ago and is considered as the father of ancient Indian science of medicine famously known as "AYURVEDA" . He was considered the first-ever physician to preface the idea of digestion, metabolism, and immunity. He elaborated in his book Charaka Samhita, the body functions because it comprises three dosha or principles, namely movement (vata), transformation (pitta), and lubrication & stability (kapha).

He proved and established the fact that illness is caused when the balance amongst the three doshas in a human body is disturbed. To restore the balance, he prescribed ayurvedic medicines.

3. NAGARJUNA HOUSE:

Nagarjuna was a metallurgist and alchemist born in the 10th century in the village of Daihak near Gujarat. The main aim of his experiments was to change base elements into gold, just like the alchemists do in western society. His dedicated research for twelve years produced maiden discoveries and inventions in the faculties of chemistry and metallurgy. Textual masterpieces like "Ras Ratnakar", "Ashraya" and "Rasendramangal" are his renowned contributions to the science of chemistry.

Though he was not successful in some of his dedicated fields of experiments but he did succeed in making an element with the characteristic of gold-like shine. Even today his technology is applied in making so called Artificial Jewelleries. In his book, Rasaratnakara, he has explained the methods for the extraction of metals like gold, silver, tin, and copper.

4. KANADA HOUSE:

Kanada, also known as Maharshi Khand was an ancient Indian natural scientist and philosophe r who founded the Vibhishana school of Indian philosophy that also represents the earliest Indian physics. His birth name was Aulukya. He got the name Kanad because even as a child, he was interested in very small particles called "kana". He formulated the theory of atoms 2500 years before John Dalton's discovery. Kanada was walking with food in his hand, breaking it into small pieces when he realized that he was unable to

divide the food into any further parts. From this moment, he conceptualized the idea of a particle that could not be divided any further. He termed that indivisible matter parmanu or anu (atom).

According to Acharya Kaneda an object at rest tends to stay at rest and object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted by an unbalanced force. Acharya Kanada discovered the Laws of motion first even before Newton. The great Acharya had described in Vaisheshika Sutra in 600 BCE the relation between force and motion.
