A year of togetherness and love
It was a memorable day for our students at Deepalaya School, Gusbethi. The two-yellow coloured buses donated by Nikon India were beautifully decorated with flowers and balloons. So much so, it took a while to find out which one is the new one. The bus has been an asset for the girls as it has helped girls studying in the school commute from far-away areas.
