Ever since the inception of the school, management of Holy Child is committed towards the upliftment of the society by extending a helping hand towards orphanages, Hospitals, and Homes for the Aged, Schools, Colleges and other charitable institutions.. The staff and students wholeheartedly contribute for the same. Our aim is to make students aware and sensitive towards world issues and educate them towards their societal responsibility to their immediate community and encourage them to think beyond the narrow confines of “I” and reach out to connect compassionately with all. We firmly believe that social service is supposed to be done out of realization and reflection of others’ needs and not for one’s own privileges to seek reward or popularity. On an average, our school spends a huge amount on Fee concessions and other outreach programs. We have a fee concession for around 172 students and 93 of our children are studying absolutely free. We have won awards like Humanitarian Award by Indian Institute for Human Rights and NSA Award for Most Socially Active School in 2018.
