At Bhaktivedanta Swami Mission School, student safety and convenience are our top priorities. To ensure this, we have partnered with a reputable contract bus service. Our school buses, with a 40-student seating capacity, are driven by experienced drivers and accompanied by male and female attendants, guaranteeing a secure and comfortable journey.

Our commitment to safety extends beyond the basics. We have implemented robust safety measures like CCTV monitoring, tracking system as well as equipping bus attendants and drivers with cell phones for emergency communication. A comprehensive register is maintained to track students availing the bus facility. Additionally, our school buses are utilized for sports activities, field trips, and picnics, ensuring our students' safety and convenience at all times.

Arrangements are made with M/S Ayaksha Healthcare Pvt Ltd for providing health-care diagnostic services in the school premises. Ayaksha, in collaboration with the School has set up a clinic in the School headed by a full-time trained nurse to look into the daily health care, routine injuries and health-related complaints. A medical record card is maintained for each and every child.

The school's paediatrician, Dr Zinal visits once a week. Under her guidance and with the consent of the parents, annual dental check-ups and ophthalmic check-ups are held.

The paediatrician also interacts with the children about important issues like good food habits, eye and dental care and adolescence. Special norms for the required quarantine period of the various contagious diseases like chicken pox and measles are also discussed. Periodical comprehensive medical check-up and vaccination (where called for) of all the students and staff members by visiting doctors from the nearby Criticare Hospital who collaborate with Ayaksha is done. Doctor is called from Criticare Hospital in case of emergency.
