Activities like Needle Work, Embroidery, Dress Making, Toy Making, Handicraft, Applique Work etc. are organized to make them self-reliant so that they can be capacitated to earn their own livelihood and become financially independent.
Excursions / Educational Tours
We take learning beyond desks and chairs and enable the students to venture out for various field visits and educational tours which creates a better world by enriching every student with a cultural experience. This helps to deepen the students’ understanding of other cultures, develop new perspectives on local issues and strengthen leadership skills necessary for true global citizenship. Believing that ‘Education tour is not only the learning of facts, but the training of mind to think’, students leave the school premises in order to come back with gripped knowledge and memories to cherish.
