First Batch of Prayas @ Nai Disha passes with success

Our first batch at Nai Disha has successfully completed one year and have advanced to their next class. Subi,Sona,Sajjad,Zulekha & Sabreen each of them cleared their respective classes.

Subi & Sona will be going in class 4th and Sajjad ,Sabreen & Zulekha will be going in class 3rd from coming session.

I am really happy about the progress of the kids. Zulekha, Sona and Subi got 4th ,7th and 13th rank in their class and as expected Saabreen and Sajjad cleared the class but could not get great ranks. But the kind of progress these kids have shown is an example and an inspiration for all of us. I whole-heartedly congratulate all the kids and all of for your of efforts you have given for their success.

I hope this wonderful work will be keep going with the efforts of all of you ,and after admitting more kids this year we will be in a position to feel the achievement . But this work has to get going because now we would have greater level of responsibility .

Kudos to Prayas and to you !!!
