Our main thrust area for the year 2024-25 is to produce good quality result as per the new bench mark fixed by the NVS. First batch of +2 students appeared at AISSCE 2014. In addition to Science stream vidyalaya has a very modern and job oriented course of study in Hospitality and Tourism. Our main constraint is lack of teachers and infra-structure. Beautification and plantation is an important work taken up at large scale. The well equipped Training Kitchen and Restaurant for Hospitality and Tourism course with an investment of Rs.25 Lacs will be the centre of attraction in our Region.
