For this, we use a holistic approach \u2013 in addition to the regular classes, we have theory lectures, appreciation sessions, practice aides, and special classes by visiting artists. Apart from the regular classes, a senior teacher conducts a mentoring session at least once every quarter and works individually with students to hone their skills. Now we have started providing training through distance learning for the students outside Maharashtra.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By competing in regional and national competitions we differ from others. The only part-time institute in Nanded which provides all these courses under one roof.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I welcome you to view our website and I invite you to visit our beautiful campus and facilities.
