We have found that the Students of our school are suffering from

various Problems.

They are sleepy often . There concentration level in the class room is

less. Some students are suffering from head ache. Their eye and skin become

dry and they have the difficulty of seeing the black board. They suffer

from joint pain even at this level of this age. They often feel tired.
