“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If a student skips breakfast, it will definitely affect his concentration and studies. Sevalaya has addressed this issue by providing sumptuous breakfast to the students who have to reach school by 7 am for special classes for the Board exams.” observed the Chief Guest. K Rajeswari advised the students to eat healthy food, study well and make best use of the opportunities to succeed in life.
