Every year in the first week of December Abhyasa arranges Parents Picnic and Commerce Fest at a place away from school in the midst of trees, water bodies and mountains. This year it was arranged on 6th December 2015 at Kistapur, 5 kms away from Toopran. The location is surrounded by rocks and trees.
The Commerce Fest is a commercial activity by Students of Grade IX and XI wherein they form different companies, plan, organize and execute various commercial activities. The Grade IX students formed a company named 'Pegasus' whereas the Grade XI students named their company as 'Flash'. In this commerce activity the students contributed money, bargained with dealers and distributors and bought goods at a discounted rate and sold them at a slight margin to the parents and others who attended the picnic. The items on sale ranged from eatables to clothes, from toys to modern games to electronic gadgets, ice-creams, Pizzas and Burgers, fashion accessories etc. and arranged many entertaining programs as well.
