Jagran Public School, Noida, organised its first-ever webinar on skill development for its students and interested parents. The webinar was organised for the benefits of students, parents and teachers so that they can augment their knowledge as well as cognitive and creative thinking skills.

Before a child learns to read, developing motor skills by playing various games like odd man out is an important activity. Visualisation games and fun activities lead to developing quick and better reading skills among children and also make writing easier. The webinar was conducted free of cost by an emerging artist, Shweta Singh, who has organised many such events for the welfare of women. Singh balances her time between creating art and her family.
