- Samvida will host children until the age of 17 years. That is when a child becomes eligible to write the board examinations, which are recognised world over. Our students will appear for these exams as private candidates. We are confident that our students will perform to their potential in these competitive exams.
- Samvida is supported by Prayoga (http://www.prayoga.org.in) for Science Learning. Children learn Science in a hands-on way by doing experiments.
