Basic Literacy Programme (BLP): We conduct BLP during the summer vacation (April-May) every year for the other children of the village. This is 1) to ensure that they are able to read and write English, Malayalam and able to do basic arithmetic skills of Mathematics, 2) to gift the children with a joyful vacation through various games and fun, 3) To select clever kids to the regular project of Coastal Brains.
