School & Hostel
Despite pandemic challenges, The Catalyst's school and hostel persevered. Academic activities faced interruptions, but staff continued their duties. Hostel capacity was gradually restored, and students attended in smaller groups when restrictions eased. Virtual communication became vital for academic engagement. Extensive maintenance work continued, led by Birsha Mura. Renovations included the school kitchen, roof replacements, and restroom improvements. The organization remained unwavering in its commitment to the students' well-being and education during these trying times.

Despite the hurdles she encountered, The Catalyst stood by her, and she successfully sat for her Board Examination in March 2022. This exemplifies the organisation's commitment to providing crucial assistance to students facing exceptional circumstances in pursuit of their education.
