Anubhav Shiksha Kendra (or ASK) is a novel initiative of Dr. Chona, in an attempt to provide education to the less fortunate students of the community.

Dr. Chona's from the heart- "A quote from Mahatma Gandhi inspired me to set up the Anubhav Shiksha Kendra, a school for slum children, at DPS R.K. Puram. It said: "Look into the eyes of the poorest man or woman and ask, 'Is your work going to make his or her life any better?' " The underlying catastrophe is poverty -economic poverty, spiritual poverty, and poverty of the imagination. The tremendous potential of education can literally transform the world. Today, ASK has over 700 children in its fold, in classes Nursery to VIII. A concerted effort is required to bridge the gulf between the 'haves' and 'have-nots' , and enable them to live with dignity and general well being. In addition to this, the Anubhav Shiksha Kendra has the important social objectives of inculcating values of national integration, educating the girl-child, eliminating crime, and the observance of small family norms. For, it is my firm belief that education and financial support are not only essential in combating poverty, but are also indispensable in building a world of greater justice and quality. The Kendra is committed to the belief that an educated community can be a more prosperous and peaceful community."

DPS Knowledge Management System (DPS KMS) wishes to deeply embed in the heart and value system of every Dipsite the value of this great effort by Dr. Chona.

Here are samples of the work done at Anubhav.
"Each One Teach One" - It is hoped that you come to appreciate the work done at Anubhav (and not just think of it as a philosophy). Students at DPS RKPuram are requested to make efforts to visit ASK, experience that the dreams in the eyes in the underprivileged are just like theirs, and teach students.
