Previously the balvadi was run at a separate place. We invited the balvadi people to shift to the new school. In the beginning they said `NO', as balvadi is a different programme run by a different department of the Government of Gujarat. We said OK. On 26th October during the inauguration the balvadi people decided to shift and requested to inaugurate the balvadi too in the new school and it was done !
