What difference has Diksha Public School made to the rural children? The school opened its doors on June 19, 1995. Since then Diksha Public School has made a big impact in the lives of our students and their families. We first focused on educating the children on hygiene and bathroom habits – with that achieved, we could focus on education. The Diksha Public School methodology has been quite effective, and our students are now able to understand English and converse in simple sentences. With time, we are certain we will achieve our educational goals.
