Character Building Initiatives (CBI)
Our motto is: “Developing the best character is our focus”. Hence, we would like to clearly convey to all parents and students that Bando is not just about fighting. It’s a sport like any other sport… tennis, football or cricket. And like all other sports, Bando is a tool to stay physically fit, an education about eating and drinking nutritional things, maintaining wellness, and living healthy lifestyles.
