Particular care is given to extra-curricular activities so that the child’s mind doesn’t get closed within the shell of academics. Regular dance and music festivals are organized with the goal of inculcating the vast and varied Indian culture in their young minds. No child with a thirst for knowledge should be denied the same because of economic constraints. Working towards this endeavor, the school also selects deserving students in the area and sponsors their education. |

 Starting the year on a sweet note.... |
|
Functions ranging from School Reopening ceremonies to the Annual Day are conducted with a spiritual touch. This year, the school reopened on the 4th of June. The day started off with a Ganapati pooja conducted for the children’s welfare. It was followed by meditation, chanting of the 1000 Names of the Divine Mother and satsang by
Br. Jayashankar. |
In keeping with the school’s tradition, the teachers personally applied tilaks of sandalwood paste and sacred ash on the students’ foreheads, re-establishing the warm bond.
The sincere efforts of the school and its students have started paying off. With the Amrita advantage, students are easily moving towards becoming individuals with good minds and balanced vision. |
