Student Mentoring and Counseling Service
A teacher is assigned as a 'mentor' for every 8 children. He/she is the philosopher in times of depression, guide in all ventures and a close friend at all times. He/she is the guardian away from home. Any problems in academics, physical, emotional or spiritual, can be confided with the Mentor. They are meant to help the students in the best possible way.
