We are delighted to welcome the new arrivals of teachers, both local and outsiders, to our school community. Their arrival has brought a fresh and diverse perspective to our academic curriculum, and we are confident that they will contribute immensely to the growth and development of our students.

The school is constructing two new buildings to accommodate additional classrooms, computer labs, a library, and an amphitheater. This expansion aims to provide better infrastructure and facilities to the students, creating a conducive learning environment for their overall growth and development.

Special Morning Assemblies are conducted daily by students under the following categories Village-wise, Class-wise, and Group-wise. The sole purpose of this is to bring out the very best in all children in communicating in English, enhancing their talents in dramas, dancing, singing, poem recitation, etc. This also exposes them to their own peer group thus bringing about stage fear and instilling confidence in themselves.

The students are taught to play either the guitar or the flute, as a part of their music education program. These instruments not only help in improving their musical skills but also enhances their concentration, creativity, and overall cognitive abilities. Learning to play an instrument is a fun and rewarding experience that can stay with them for a lifetime.

The IIT foundation classes provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the exam pattern and help enhance the skills required to succeed in these highly competitive exams. These courses help develop the skills required to succeed in tertiary education, with expert faculty from NIT.

Additionally, these foundation courses also prepare students for other competitive exams such as IEO, NSO, IMO, NSTSE, etc.
