Though the students are largely employed, they come from very poor backgrounds and have taken to earning for their livelihood and maintenance of their families.

The knowledge base of the students is thus constantly being enriched. As a best practice, our own students who are proficient in certain areas of knowledge, take to teaching other interested students in special sessions outside the purview of the time-table.
