The newly renovated Abhyudaya Center was inaugurated on August 26, 2024, attracting a record attendance of Sitaras eager to study in this upgraded facility. Designed to provide a holistic and enriching educational environment, the center features modern facilities that foster collaborative and productive learning.
At the heart of the center is a brand-new library, organized with open shelving by genre and stocked with extensive resources, including encyclopedias, fiction, and exam preparation books. The flexible furniture encourages collaborative learning, allowing students to work together in a dynamic setting. Additionally, well-equipped classrooms boast modern technology and internet access, enhancing the digital learning experience for all students.
To further support their educational endeavors, Sitaras have access to laptop facilities and engaging board games that promote collaboration and enhance problem-solving skills. The center also prioritizes student comfort with clean and hygienic restrooms.
Volunteers played a crucial role in ensuring that Sitaras could start their new learning journey on September 2. They helped unpack boxes and set up the library and classrooms. Since opening, students have enthusiastically participated in afternoon classes, including computer courses, preparation for the Intermediate Art exam, and foundational science classes.
As part of our nutrition program, Sitaras receive a healthy snack each afternoon, contributing to their overall well-being.
The Abhyudaya Center invites you to visit and engage with the Sitaras as they embark on this exciting new chapter in their education.
