Monthly assessments gauge progress in confidence, self-esteem, fitness, and social integration. The process involves selecting 50 students in each of the 14 districts, dividing them into two batches, providing thrice-weekly training sessions, and organizing events to showcase their achievements, ultimately aiming to transform the lives of children from low socio-economic backgrounds.
