On this occasion, the students eagerly ate the fruit of Kinnu, which is very good for the health of the students due to its medicinal properties.

They said that it contains many other useful elements that are beneficial for human health. He also appealed to other people to consume more Kinnu. On this occasion Deputy District Education Officer Anju Bala and Head of School Swatantra Bala were also present.
