Through it they conveyed the importance of healthy food and healthy habits. It was very catchy; students enjoyed the show and at the same time learned from it.

 Haemoglobin test for Setu students were organised by Sandesham and Amity Students. Students who were found anaemic were given iron frying pans and medicine. Class teachers use to do follow up with them. The motive behind this was to increase the haemoglobin level so that students will also show improvement in retention span and in concentration level in the class.
