Students and teachers across all Tandan Schools and Learning Centers came together to observe International Yoga Day in their classrooms. With enthusiasm and eagerness, they practiced various yoga asanas, breathing techniques, and meditation. The day’s activities aimed to promote physical and mental well-being, while also fostering a sense of camaraderie among students and teachers. By incorporating yoga into their daily routine, the students were taught valuable lessons about discipline, focus, and self-awareness.

Thanks to a generous donation from a private individual, Tandan Charitable Trust was able to distribute over 250 school bags to children in three villages: Sinam, Mapao Zingsho, and Sinam Kom. This act of kindness brought joy and encouragement to the young students who had been facing numerous challenges in their pursuit of studies since the previous year.

The students and teachers were filled with joy and anticipation as they embarked on this new chapter in their educational journey. With its inauguration, Tandan School, Sinam Kom is poised to become a beacon of hope and learning for the entire region.
