3. Upgrading existing government primary schools to high schools

Rafi assured that he would bring these matters to the government's attention and work towards their swift implementation.

The event also saw the launch of free self-defense and yoga classes for underprivileged children. This initiative aims to guide the current generation away from negative influences and provide them with valuable life skills.

Rafi inaugurated these classes and congratulated the volunteers involved in the program. The Jeeva Shanthi Foundation, in collaboration with the Inter-Religious Harmony Movement, continues to play a significant role in promoting social welfare and communal harmony in the region.
