These sessions not only fostered creativity but also instilled a sense of respect and appreciation for rural artisans, emphasizing the importance of preserving one’s cultural heritage.

Std 8 and 9: Wellness and Transformation:
Adolescence is typically marked by physical, emotional and psychological changes. Teenagers struggle with all kinds of sensitive issues which need to be understood. The Students of Std 8 and 9 engaged in a wellness session led by Dr. Manju Dubey, a renowned gynaecologist. The session addressed the physiological, psychological and emotional changes associated with adolescence, providing valuable insights into coping strategies and self-care. Dr.Kailash Dubey, an alumnus, spoke on how to channelize energies at this significant juncture of life.
