NCLB Program On observation it was identified that the repetitive percentage of the students was gradually decreasing. Reasons behind were analyzed. The highlights of the analysis are Lack of continuous support for the students in academics Health of the student due to Malnutrition Decline of Moral support from parents Unhealthy family environment diverting the attention Discouraging support on higher education from family and society Negative influence from environment and society Considering all the above factors, NCLB program was introduced to extend our support to the student not only at the begin but all through the year continuously With through discussions and experimentations the program was specially designed to provide a good and healthy environment to the student.
