The children celebrate national & cultural festivals with great patriotism and enthusiasm. Every year, during summer vacation, the children go for excursions. They are given special coaching in spoken English on a regular basis to be on par with others," he says.they can spread a spiritual fragrance wherever they are placed for the rest of their lives.
