It had a hostel as well as a farm .Students used to study the crafts like "weaving of matting", 'Niwar' & cotton ropes for fastening the Pyjamas.
It also has ' Carpentary' section where the students would learn the art of making wooden toys, board etc. The students also studied agriculture at the school farm. Every student had to take part in the crafts & agriculture classes. Moreover, there was a perfect Band; and the students had to learn any of the musical instruments. Regular physical exercises were held after the morning prayer with the beat of the band . Wooden 'dumbles', 'mogrees', 'dandas' and long bamboos were used for daily exercises. There was also a provision of mid-day meal & bread cooked in the hostel, and a glass full of milk was given to the students.In winter, the teachers & students would stay in the school at night & study there for final examinations.Students of this school used to top the Middle-Board Exams. After passing the Middle, students used to get admission in High schools at Sonepat.
