The program included activities designed to support and improve the well-being of the students and their families.
The event began with the planting and distribution of mango and coconut saplings, contributed by the Armoured Corps Training Center, 3 SLAC, and 7(V) SLAC. This was followed by a children’s movie screening, after which lunch was served to the students and teachers.
Each student received a package containing books, stationery, and clothing, while their families were provided with ration packs including dhal, sugar, biscuits, soaps, canned fish, and tea leaves. The program concluded with the distribution of sweet packs to the students.
