• Many subjects that appear to have less time have
  actually been supported through the general
  living / working in KGBV (e.g. agriculture, home
  science). In particular, physical education will
  be incorporated in the free time, and other
  proposed activities.
• At present, it is also under discussion whether
  in Pkg 1 (2 months) it would be advisable to
  concentrate on Hindi, Maths, English, Science and
  Social Studies this would provide scope for
  revision of primary, as well as provide a solid
  foundation for studying further in all subjects.
• Pkg 4, to be developed by Jan 2007, will cover
  all of Class 7 8.
• The MS UP run KGBV girls will also get a chance
  for internship with Sangha and Mahasanghas of MS
  to tryout their classroom learnings and
  understand their environment better.
