Vocational Courses to help the students to either get employment or start some work on their own are held regularly in the Scools.

Many ladies after completing the Cutting & Tailoring courses are doing their own business and earning their livelihood.

SANSKAR KENDRA SCHOOLS : The NLM individualized system involves the following simple steps : .   SANSKAR KENDRA children are free from the burden of books. .   A qualified educator introduces the child to stimulating thought, activity and creativity,      inculcating a spirit of enquiry and self-expression. .  Structured activities, movements and exercise build a healthy physique and enhance      muscle and coordination abilities of eye-hand, hand-mouth. .   Children are encouraged to identify colours combinations, size, shape, and texture. .  An atmosphere of love understanding and appreciation helps the child to control and     express her/his feelings and more     importantly in the process, to respect the feeling of     others. .  The qualities of citizenship, commitment to hard work and excellence are stressed in the     curriculum. .  At 'SANSKAR KENDRA' schools the word "don't" is not advised and educators     recommend the same to the parents. .  Children learn by example to be polite, good, kind, gentle and generous. .  Special emphasis is laid on the inculcation of 'sanskars' (basic values) while simultaneously     laying the foundations of silence and prayer.
