Six programmes that quietly change lives in Kankarbagh and around Patna.
A pioneer institution, Tamanna School of Art, has been running under KRRISH since 2007 - dedicated completely to art and culture. Sketching, water colour, oil colour, portrait making, fabric painting, wood carving and statue making are taught batch by batch, along with handicraft, Madhubani and mehndi art.
Singing, instrumental and vocal classes run alongside western and classical dance under the guidance of experienced teachers. Students appear for the five-year degree course in Fine Art, Music and Dance as the school is registered with Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh.
We create awareness among children through painting competitions, debates, street plays and plantation programmes, because children are the real brand ambassadors of our society and our country. Merit is rewarded with certificates, books and art material.
Training for women in computers, stitching, sewing and soft-toy making - a small income of their own, and a reason to step out of the house with confidence. Classes are held at our Kankarbagh centre and are free for widows and single mothers.
Free eye check-up camps and general health camps are organised with local doctors and partner institutions. Visitors are screened, given spectacles at concessional rates and referred to hospitals when needed.
Plantation drives, "Keep Nation Clean" rallies and World Sparrow Day programmes with schools around Patna. Children learn to care for trees, birds and public spaces - and take that lesson home to their families.
Sketching, water colour, oil colour, portrait making, still life and composition.
Fabric painting, wood carving, statue making, handicraft, Madhubani and mehndi art.
Vocal and instrumental classes - harmonium, tabla and guitar - with theory.

Five-year Visharad / Bhaskar courses under Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh.
