- Training program :
The teacher training program was carried out on the 2nd day of each month, in this, we focus not only on the problems at the center but also on what they have taught to children in running months and evaluate how far the children have learned from them.
This training program will help the teachers learn new things and overcome their shortcomings and improve their teaching skills. Through this program, they learn about student learning and behavior.
Supervisors meet/training program was held on the 15th or 16th of each month which mainly focuses on the activities of the centers and improvement of student’s attendance and their capability. Every two months, two or more centers come together and present what they have learned at the center.

The word yoga in Sanskrit means to yoke or union. In the practice of yoga, humans seek to create a union between the mind and the body, which is a 5000-year-old tradition.
In India, monks went into the seclusions for years with the goal of creating a disease-free strong body. The intention was to do hours of meditation sitting at a place but it was difficult with the achy body. So the postures of yoga were created with a specific health purpose – to detoxify the body, realign the musculature, strengthen muscles and create flexibility.
So CRCs are training yoga for kids to improve their health and strengthen them mentally and physically.
Games:
The history of games dates to the ancient human past. Games are an integral part of all cultures and are one of the oldest forms of human social interaction. They are formalized expressions of play that allow people to go beyond immediate imagination and direct physical activity. Common features of games include uncertainty of outcome, agreed-upon rules, competition, separate place and time, elements of fiction, elements of chance, prescribed goals, and personal enjoyment. We are conducting games like Game of opposites, Game of goats and tigers, Blind man’s buff, follow my leader, hopscotch, Memory games,Tag, kabaddi, kho kho, Drama of Ramayana, Leadership games, Ordering sequencing games, singing patriotic songs and by that encouraging their teamwork, stimulates creativity, concentration, and memory. Playing team games improves the leadership qualities of the kids.
