academic instructions, this organisation has arrangement for additional vocational course
special education courses also. This organisation follows the methods of traditional way of
teaching learning to educate the pupils. However, the feature of teacher centric study avoided

technology used by all the organisation now days. Hence, the entire faculty members are
proposing a grant plan for proper funding to the local government. They wilfully try to
implement the teaching-learning method of study in this institution. The state approved
curriculum is followed by the institution to cover up all round development of the students.
