Let's know about the requirements in detail.

1. Prepare a handicraft , preferably for a disabled child in the locality.

The cubs and bulbuls have to prepare a handicraft which can be used by a differently abled child. The handicraft should be useful for the differently abled children.

For example :

• Braille script can be used for study.
• A stick with a bell can be used for walking. 
• Different shapes can be prepared for learning mathematical concepts. Etc.

2. Know the eight principal points of a compass.

The compass is a little dial like a watch, but it has only one hand on it and that hand always points to the north. 

If you face the same way as the hand points you are looking north and if you then turn about and look exactly the other way you are facing the south. South is exactly opposite to north and east is exactly opposite to west.

That gives the four points of the compass : North , South, East and West.

Then half way between each of the four main points there are four others, which are easily remembered:

N.E, S.E, S.W and N.W.

N.E - North-East, S.E - South-East, S.W - South-West , N.W- North-West

They should also require the knowledge of the clothes or dress the state people wear. This helps the children to have knowledge about the traditions and culture of their own state.

For example : 

The name of the District of the students studying in Kendriya Vidyalaya Koraput is Koraput
