Like any normal family which goes through anxiety same way Manavya family had its share of stress and apprehension as number of our children appeared for their 10th and 12th examination.
The children were very confident about the examination and it was the time to test their abilities for which they have been working for the year.

Extra Tuition for children from 4th to 7th:
In order to concretize the basic academic skills, like reading with an understanding, self-study, and writing skills at a proper formative age of personality, Manavya started private tuitions covering all subjects in general but emphasizing mainly upon three subjects namely English, Mathematics, and science in particular, for all kids from 4th to 7th standard. Moreover we also included some of the talented and eager students from the poor and needy labor community in the Bhugaon area, to get admitted for these extra classes, without charging any fees from them. This extra classes are now held every day for one hour before their school gets started. The intention behind this initiative was to lay a foundation in children who do not have an adequate scholastic background. Children are keen and enjoy.
