Organised by the Hindu Prachar Kendra, the course is open for children five years and older... Kendra spiritual leader, Raviji said: 'Ramdilla allows for a wide range of interesting subjects to be taught to children. These disciplines are valuable supplements to school curriculum and home training. The course is also a good blend between play and discipline.' He said the vacation exercise will offer studies suitable to various age groups. 'This promotes cultural confidence and self-esteem.' He said parents have testified to the impact of previous courses on their children.
