One of our significant CSR activities is “Ek Mutthi Anaaj”, where our students and staff contribute grains and essential food items. These donations are then distributed among underprivileged families and local NGOs, ensuring that nobody in our community goes hungry. “Pasti se Pustak” is another initiative that promotes education for all. Our students collect old and unused notebooks, textbooks, and stationery, refurbishing them for reuse. These recycled educational materials are then distributed among children from marginalized backgrounds, encouraging learning and sustainability. We also actively participate in “Daan Utsav”, a nationwide festival of giving. During this event, our school organizes various activities, such as clothing drives, book donations, and charity fundraisers. Through these efforts, our students learn the value of giving back to society and making a difference in the lives of others.
