Newsletter 2015-’16
Student enrollment has increased to 120 students this school year (2014-2015). We have 9 children in the 10th Std who are appearing for their exams in April 2015 under NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling ). So far 16 students have passed out from our school and are either pursuing higher studies or are working. We encourage them to continue further studies, especially girls by paying their fees & helping them in their tuition. One of the girls who graduated from our school, Ritu, completed 11th and 12th from a college & is now in a good college doing a course in BBI {Banking & Insurance}. We paid her fees throughout and we also gave her a net-book. In her free time, she comes to our school to inspire the children to study and helps them with their studies.
