A social investigation is conducted to assess the family circumstances before enrolling the child in this program.

This program is presently open to children whose parents live in Kadapa or nearby areas. Keeping in mind the difficulty in bringing children to school using school buses or other means, children living with their parent/s outside Kadapa are provided with scholarships to continue their education.

The general progress of a child is monitored through regular academic assessments and health checks.

These children are brought to school in the school buses or designated auto rickshaws.

Whenever a child is absent for more than 2 days the Principal or the class teacher calls the parents to enquire about the child’s welfare. This process lets the parent and the teacher know if the child is being absent from the school with/without the parent’s knowledge.

Regular parent-teacher meetings are conducted and one to one interaction with the parents ensures that they are aware of their child’s progress.

The parents and the children attend a career guidance session organized by the school, and the students’ future careers are discussed with them keeping in mind their capabilities. Further support is extended to these students for continuing their academic studies or taking up vocational training.
