By involving students in community outreach and social skills projects, the Club achieves the twin objectives of emotional learning and social upliftment. The Club welcomes educational institutions to implement its projects in their respective settings. Interested schools need to register themselves and submit the completed projects online before the stipulated deadline. Every project will be assisted by a panel of experts in identifying the best projects. Besides awarding the most outstanding works, the annual meet of participating schools will serve as a platform to inspire one another and encourage introspection and learning.
