These co-curricular activities are organised regularly for unfolding the hidden talents of our students. Various types of sports and games viz. football, cricket and many kinds of indoor games like table tennis, carom, chess, etc. are regular feature in the school. Our students often participate in the inter-school sports organised by the local authorities and other institutions where they have never failed to exhibit their skilled performance. In order to infuse special interest and love for modern science and technology into the receptive minds of students, science exhibitions are often organised in which many students of this institution participate actively by making projects, models, charts etc. by themselves.

Considering the basic need of many students hailing from poor families they are provided with school uniform, text books, exercise books and other study materials free of cost. Students are often given scholarships and pecuniary help so that they can attend the school for education without imposing any financial burden on their families.

Aimed at developing the spirit of fraternity and a sense of patriotic feeling in the minds of students the school has its separate N.C.C. Troop for boys and girls under the guidance of trained and qualified teachers.

The school takes its students on excursion to different parts of Meghalaya as well as other states in the country from time to time so as to enable them to be familiar with the different cultural traditions of the society and the Nation. The national feeling in the minds of our students is amplified by making them aware about the vastness and rich traditions of our country, varieties of its culture and people. Each and every national occasion like Independence Day, Republic Day, etc. is celebrated with due éclat, enthusiasm and fervour.

SUB-CENTRE AT SOHBARPUNJEE

Inspired by the ideals of Swami Vivekananda as implemented through Tribal Upliftment services at Shella, Sri Tarani Kumar Purakayastha, formerly a freedom fighter and an initiated disciple of the Ramakrishna Mission started an Elementary School for tribal children in 1928 at Sohbarpunjee village about 20 km away from Cherrapunjee.

The school was formally affiliated as a sub-centre of Ramakrishna Mission, Cherrapunjee in 1958 since when all its tribal welfare services are being managed and conducted by Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Cherrapunjee.
