Community Service

Trips
- In September, the teaching staff and class X students took an overnight bus to Jaipur for a field trip. They got a chance to visit a Fabindia store, warehouse and a block printing unit. The trip was designed to introduce the staff and students to the various aspects of the Fabindia Company. It also gave students and teachers a chance to sight see and spend time in the capital city of Rajasthan.
- For the first time, the school organized an educational tour in October for classes VII-X. Twenty-nine students and four teachers undertook a four day train journey to some of the famous Himalayan towns - Haridwar, Mussoorie, Rishikesh and Dehradun. For many students this was the first time away from home!

They learned about rainwater harvesting and the community achievements of two villages, Khadin and Anicut, whose joint efforts lead the project. The school has a water harvesting system in place since its inception.
