On day One, the teachers explained what citizenship is, the characteristics of citizenship, and its qualities. With the help of PPTs and other presentations, the kids were taught how to imbibe the same. On day Two, the teachers explained the traffic rules.

Sharing is another vital skill that comes in handy when children play and learn with other children, society, and the community. This was explained on day three. On day four, the teachers made them understand that being generous will benefit both you and others. One of the unexpected by-products of generosity is that the giver benefits from the gift and the recipient. The children actively participated in the week-long programme with enthusiasm.
The kids of GMP Segment showed their generosity by distributing stationery items such as books, pen-pencil sets, colours, etc., under the ‘Stationery Contribution Drive’ for the students of the Municipal School.
