Our discussions with the principals was focussed around the following:

  • Explained efforts of Vasudha in the 4 colonies and show them the students from those colonies.
  • Identify good students and inform us so that we can help them with their further education
  • Current teacher strength and their need for additional teachers
  • Vasudha volunteer teacher assistance in teaching

Vasudha volunteer teacher now spends in each of these schools 2 hours a day providing necessary help school needs in teaching. In addition our focus is now shifted to identifying and training children for Gurukul school entrance exam.
