These tasks include writing book reviews, presenting before a large unknown group, learning and demonstrating new arts such as "Bandhni", weaving, making sculptures, memorizing long texts in four different languages etc. These tasks have been prepared under the banner of "Gunavikas Yojana" or development of life skills.
