Melania attended one of the 'Happiness Classes' at the Sarvodaya Vidyalaya Senior Secondary School co-ed school in South Moti Bagh which is a part of the Happiness Curriculum, in which students are taught various activities including meditation, street plays and basic obedience aimed at reducing anxiety and stress levels among children.
Upon her arrival at the school, she was given a traditional welcome by students who lined the entrance holding flags of the two countries and a young girl student also handed a bouquet to Melania and welcomed her with an 'aarti thali' and a 'tilak'.
"This is my first visit to India and I cannot express how delightful it is. People here are so welcoming and so kind. I learned that 'Sarvodaya' means 'prosperity for all'. As I walked around, I was able to see how the concept exists amid the curriculum in the leadership of the teachers as well as the spirit of enthusiasm of the students," she had expressed.
