Dear Reader
At Setu we ensure a safe yet dynamic learning environment for students across all age groups for their holistic growth. We provide fearless atmosphere and simultaneously create an open space for kids to explore, learn and grow where they are comfortable to share their concerns with teachers or even with the head of the school. Teachers also act as counselors for them and guide them about their safety issues which are very important to teach them given the present scenario of our society.
At Setu we are equally concerned of physical safety of students and we keep trying new ways of protecting school by wiring the railings. This time our donors supported us by funding for safety net which had been our main concern for a very long time. We are thankful to our donors for safety net.
We have tried our best to capture the events and bring to you an update on what transpired doing the last few months.
