Along with this the curriculum was focused on the learning of LSRW skills . The week was wrapped with the debate sessions conducted on last day of the week on topic Mobile Phone : A boon or bane .

Due to personal reasons two of our brothers went back and brothers Joseph Jerald and Maxim Martin took the entire charge of programme . During this week the entire focus was given to the average students who were divided into two groups .
