School Education, as a process, has been contributing to the holistic development of children. Children are natural learners. They learn more when they are stress-free and in a conducive learning environment. Learning under pressure makes them anxious and lose interest in learning. Their day-to-day life experiences, voices, questions etc. need to be given adequate space in the classroom and new learning needs to be built upon that.

Concept of 10 Bagless Days

All students from classes I to X will participate in 10-Bagless Days.

Children will be given periodic exposure to indoor and outdoor activities inside

and outside the school which includes quizzes, doodling, experiments, visits to

places/monuments of historical, cultural and tourist importance, meeting local artists and craftsmen and visits to higher educational institutions in their Village/ Mandal/ District/ State as decided by states and local communities.
