Furthermore, the program instilled Essential Values Systems like Punctuality, Responsibility, Honesty, Caring & Sharing, Gratitude, Humility, and Respect. These values not only shape a student’s professional demeanor but also contribute to their overall character development.

Mr. Aneesh from Unnati Foundation led the program with a focus on interactive and activity-based learning.
