Evening learning centers in Swarna Bharathi Nagar (70+ children) and Lingayapalem (80+ children) provide vital support with 2 teachers at each location.
Enriching Activities:
Children joyfully celebrated Diwali, Christmas, New Year, Pongal, and Holi.
They participated in cultural activities and games, fostering their overall development.
Regular academic assessments, including term exams and tests, ensured their educational progress.
Regular health check-ups, monitoring height and weight, ensured the well-being of the children.
Academic Progress:
All students are progressing well in their studies, demonstrating significant improvement.
The last quarter of the academic year is underway, with final exams scheduled for April 2025.
Summer holidays will begin the last week of April, with learning centers taking short breaks. The new academic year will commence in June 2025.
