To support student’s health, the centre also provides snacks and fruit on daily basis.

Women and young girls are trained in two skills, tailoring and beauty culture.
Foundational and Functional Literacy
Children who have never been to school are offered foundational literacy and numeracy classes to support them with basic reading and writing.
Functional literacy sessions are held for women and girls who have never been to school to prepare them for skill training.
The centre runs full day from 9 am to 4 pm. The mornings are earmarked for academics and the afternoon for co curricular activities.
The children are being provided with age appropriate education with a view to mainstream them through the Open School. The children are given an all-round education with proper assessment as well as a range of co-curricular activities.
