“Khushi Club” in schools that can deliberate on the care for the deprived
children and how schools can unite their activities towards a single focus on
child care. With the “Khushi Club” the schools would also need to open “Khushi
Bank” that would facilitate all funds that are now still diverted. These funds
can be then spent on a focused activity through decisions taken by the “Khushi
Club”.
