    Moreover, a qualified psychologist is designated to offer general counselling for senior classes and provide individual therapy sessions for children dealing with behavioural issues.

    Midday meals have become crucial, given that many children often lack access to nutritious meals at home. DIKSHA ensures that all its students receive free midday meals five days a week. These meals, prepared fresh in the on-site kitchen by the DIKSHA cook, offer a well-balanced diet containing the essential proteins and carbohydrates necessary for the students' growth and development.

    DIKSHA collaborated with Feeding India by Zomato to offer a nourishing breakfast to students daily, addressing their nutritional requirements. This initiative is a significant stride in eliminating hunger and alleviating malnutrition among the students, aiming to enhance their overall health and academic performance. The introduction of breakfast in the morning was a delightful surprise for the students, who relished the meal accompanied by milk. Some expressed joy at having 2-3 glasses of milk, revealing that financial constraints had hindered them from enjoying it regularly.
