Special Coaching
Every care is taken to ensure the betterment of academic performance of the children as most of our students are the first generation learners and their parents are unable to guide their children with their studies, which results in poor academic performance. With this problem in view, Bustee Welfare Centre conducts special classes to provide guidance to the weak students.
Mid-Day Meal
During the school days cooked meal is served to the children. Time to time the menu of the food is changed to give variety in the serving as well as to keep the nutritious value of the food intake. This wholesome meal boosts their physical and mental energy. Many children come to school in empty stomach. On identification of such children some snacks are immediately given to them.
