The school’s project, Oru Kai Oru Pothi, provides a packet of food to the poor and needy once a month. This initiative, ongoing for many years, aims to instill in students a sense of social responsibility and compassion for others in need. The collected food packets are handed over to the Navjeevan Trust, led by Mr. P U. Thomas, also known as Thomas Chettan. Students from grades V to XII contribute around 400 to 425 packets of food each month. The residents of Navjeevan either collect the packets from the school or receive them at the trust. We look forward to continuing this meaningful project.
