Seeing the hardship of poor students to walk barefoot, we have arranged footwear for about 300 students. Our students can happily dine their mid-day meal at the dining hall,' Anand maintained.
The enrolment of students has been increasing every year and the school achieves around 80-90 per cent results in SSC examinations. All this was possible with the team work and the cooperation of all our teachers and the donors, he said.
