Hostel

The main objective of this Hostel is to facilitate an all-round development for its inmates to become responsible citizens of our country. They should involve themselves to derive maximum benefit from the various opportunities provided. The behaviour of a boy, reflects to a great extent, his family background and upbringing. So, the boarders should lead a noble and dignified life, bringing credit to their parents and the school.
