RDF provides every student in our schools with the following:
Midday Meals
RDF believes that every student requires a healthy body to have a healthy mind. Everyday, schools provide a nutritious mid-day meal which comprises rice, daal (lentils), one vegetable curry and hard-boiled egg, providing much needed protein. Students may have as many servings as they like. The meal environment is also very important to RDF. Staff and older students take turns serving and ensure that not a single grain of rice is wasted. Everyone — from the senior teachers to the nursery students — eats together in the same area and starts the meal with a thanksgiving.
Uniforms
Each student is provided two sets of uniforms every 18 months. The idea of the uniform is to promote equality amongst all students and reduce unnecessary distractions and comparisons. Cleanliness and hygiene are also promoted through daily uniform checks.
Textbooks
Every year, students receive textbooks for all their subjects (including maths, social science, languages, science, etc). One set of notebooks is also included for each subject. The textbooks follow the Telugu Medium Andhra Pradesh Secondary School Certificate (SSC). This year, Narsimpalli, as the first school to transition to English Medium, received new textbooks in English.
