The school launched the 'Madhushala to Gyanashala' project as part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations, aiming to promote Hindi literature, creativity, and digital learning among rural students. Yadav stated that the initiative created India's first child-created audio QR-code knowledge bank, featuring students' musical renditions of Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poetry alongside educational content in Hindi, Marathi, and English.

To honor Amitabh Bachchan's birthday, students formed a human chain depicting the number 84. The project also showcased the school's efforts to provide value-based and modern education to rural students through zero-cost innovations like screen-to-voice learning resources. These resources are designed to encourage children to explore educational content via audio, improve listening skills, and reduce screen time and gaming.

Additionally, the NGO Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan Prabodhan Pratishthan distributed educational aids, bicycles, and sewing machines in the poet's native village of Babupatti to mark the occasion.
