The Social responsibility of upgrading the underprivileged was shouldered by the volunteers of 'DAV Public School', Pushpanjali Enclave, to be a part of the "Each One Teach One " Literacy drive this mission took birth on the occasion of literacy day(8th Sept) in the year 2001, when a few working maids were enrolled under 'Apathit Bal Shiksha kendra', a school run within the school premises from 1.00 pm -3.00 pm. it was not easy convincing the gathered crowd. As an incentive uniforms and midday meals were provided .Eatables which they generally can never think of purchasing and cooking were put on the menu. Moral education values which help for a fruitful future and "Akshar Gyaan" were inculcated among the taught. Audio visual aids, models charts and many such things to attract their attention and concentration were used . This long journey is still on its way. Each year the same day we enroll a group of forty forty five students and bid them adieu in the month of May.

   

Year after year changes have been made in their curriculum as teachers teaching fest the need. A remarkable change can be seen bringing smile to both the teachers and taught. this programme was renamed as "Bal Siksha Kendra" in the year 2003 where the group turned 'Pathit' as a few preferred to continue even after one complete session. It is now run under "Prodh Siksha" as the enrolled are no longer limited to young girls . We have women folk ranging from 10-45 yrs, who show desperate eagerness to join the group from year 2005, two professional teachers are also being employed as academics only no longer is in their syllabus. they are taught a course in 'beauty culture" and stitching. Candle making was a part of the programme and the same were sold for Diwali which help them raise their pocket money.

   

We here at D.A.V Pushpanjali keep them at par with the regular students here. They are participants in Our Annual functions each year. Students who excel in the session are awarded with sewing machine. Two such girls honored were Farhad in 2004 and Bharti in the year 2005. A programme on the occasion of  Literacy Day is organized each year.
