VALUE EDUCATION AND GROUP DISCUSSION :The school gives due stress on inculcating moral values among the students. Two of the basic moral values on which due stress is given, are respect and responsibility. Value Education is conducted as a part of class activities in the home room period. Students are given topics based on values like honesty, fairness, national integration, tolerance, prudence, compassion, co-operation, helpfulness, self - discipline, courage etc. to discuss and they are observed and evaluated according to the adoption and reflection of these values in their behaviour. This new method has been found to be quite successful.
