NESTS introduced diaries aimed at streamlining academic and co-curricular monitoring. The Teacher Diary encourages reflective teaching, helping educators track student progress and plan lessons effectively. The Student Diary fosters self-discipline and reflection by recording daily academic activities, while the Class Monitor Diary promotes leadership, teamwork, and accountability among students.
These diaries are part of NESTS’ broader effort to strengthen holistic education in EMRS institutions.
Compendium of Circulars for EMRS Schools
To support school management and administrative efficiency, NESTS consolidated various circulars into two volumes: Volume I for Construction-related circulars, and Volume II for Academic and Administrative guidance. This compendium simplifies access to crucial directives for EMRS principals and educators, ensuring smooth operations and improved educational outcomes.

During the event, Shri Asad Ahmad, Principal of EMRS Chhuri Kala, Chhattisgarh, received the National Recognition Certificate for 2024-25 as the best teacher in EMRS schools.
