 We continuously run various extracurricular programs in the school to attract and engage more children.

• We provide all the children a daily protein mix which has all the vital nutrients and vitamins that growing children need, as most of the children come to school  without having breakfast. We have measured the height and weightof all the children this year to assess and analyse the impact of nutritious protein powder. 
• We have qualified professionals of Sri Krishna Wellness, Yoga and Cultural Centre  who conduct Saturday Yoga classes to improve overall health and concentration powers of the children. ACT with their help organised International Yoga Day on 21st June 2018.
• We celebrate birthdays of the children at the end of each month. The children cut a huge cake in front of their friends and eat it in school along with potato chips. We also invite the parents to be a part of this monthly celebration
• We have organized special summer classes for all the children during summer vacation. Our volunteers engaged the children with English, Math, painting, e-learning based Meghshala classes, Eddy (kids learning tablet) classes, and movie time. We have provided lunch to all the children whoever attended the summer classes.
• Our regular volunteers’ conduct Elementary English reading, writing and spoken classes for all the children.
•  Volunteers from an Institute of Management Studies  came for their internship and they conducted various sessions for children. They taught basic English, basic Math, conducted quizzes and sports events. Children enjoyed their company and participated wholeheartedly in all the events.
• Corporate employees spend their time and money and they distributed stationery to all the children to encourage them to come to school and continue their studies.
• We have distributed bags and stationery in the beginning of the academic year.
• We appeal for more funds through global giving, to help Darshini and children like her so that the poverty stricken parents and their underprivileged children are attracted by the facilities and amenities of the school and come back to school regularly.
