CKD has also asked the parents to send bill of those books which are available at lower prices than decided by the charitable society. The prices of books have been reduced from Class Nursery till VIII.

“My vision is to providing education at affordable price. One must not forget that CKDCS is a charitable organisation. Therefore, the prices have been set keeping in mind, the word charitable attached to it. The step has been taken to ensure the well-being of students and parents,” said Dhanraj.

The prices of the books have been reduced significantly. For instance, the set of books for Nursery was available at Rs 1800 is now priced at Rs 330. Books for LKG class priced around Rs 2,000 are priced at Rs 470. Similarly for other classes also the prices have been reduced.
