The ITC Rakshana organization has provided a sanitary napkins incinerator to the school as part of their services. Apart from all these, the management wanted to provide more facilities to the students and thought over a sick room.
Following the suggestions from the teachers, the headmaster Molabanti Venkateswarlu took initiation and met the management of the ICON Hospital in Chirala and convinced the doctors to operate a sick room in the school.
The school has allotted a room for the purpose and provided two beds, first aid kits and other medicines in it. The school announced that the girls or teachers could use the room when they are sick due to any reason.
