Objective: The Night Study Centre (NSC) provides students a secure and quiet environment to study which they are unable to get at home. At the centres, we provide an evening snack and a tutor (to guide the students with their homework). These centres are set up near their homes and localities. Apart from NSC classes, gettogether programmes are organised for the students. This is the platform where students get the opportunity to interact with other students of different background having different mind sets and a chance to show their talents and skills.
