Faculty members and parents of children enrolled in SIP Academy, Bihar, dance at the organisation's 10th anniversary celebrations in a Patna hotel on Thursday. Around 100 students associated with the centre - which provides SIP Abacus and Brain Gym programmes - attended the programme. SIP Academy's third annual awards ceremony was also conducted during the anniversary celebrations. Children were awarded for outstanding performance in different activities. Lalit Kishore Jhunjhunwala, the head of SIP Academy, Bihar, said: 'We have 25 centres in Bihar and 3000 students. Our programmes are designed to improve concentration, memory, self-confidence, arithmetical efficiency, speed-writing, academic performance and creativity. It is a good way to de-stress from exams too. Going by the response in Bihar, we are planning to open another centre in Ara.' Text by Faryal Rumi, picture by Ashok Sinha
