She is very co operative to do any activities, but their management informed her to concentrate more on studies rather than improving extra curricular activities for children for this academic year. She asked us our plan of action so that she can discuss with management and let us know.

They participated very enthusiastically. 20 saplings of Ganuga, Amla and Laxmi Taru are planted with the help of NSS team (40 students). Couple of students will take care of each plant. We are going to give prizes to the students who will take best care of the tree growth at the end of academic year.
