Around 150 students from the first year passed out of the J D Birla school this year and will be enrolled for the advanced course next year. The personality development and grooming course was priced at Rs 1300 per student, said Deepali Singhi, principal of the J D Birla Institute.

The course would now be offered round the year, she added.

 

At present, the course was available only to the commerce stream students but it will be extended to the other departments this year.

Speaking on the sidelines of an award function, Pradip Kumar Chopra , managing director and chairman of the PS group and a faculty member of the course, said the group had embarked upon several such initiatives to train and groom youngsters.

Apart from Supersoft, its other projects included Nayeedisha for educating the slum children, and project Sunshine for educating the underprivileged and orphans from juvenile homes.
