A day long fun outing was organised to Pratapgarh Farms for the Boarders on 13th November 2016. The trip got the students closer to nature and taught them about how people live in villages. It was a totally new experience, as the students got exposure to village life. Relishing the sumptuous food in the realms of rustic surroundings and enjoying the charms of serene environment were the major attractions. Students enjoyed camel ride, bullock cart ride, and tractor ride. Ethnic games like gilli danda, tug of war, kite flying , archery, kabbadi, dart shooting and air gun shooting were also a major attraction. Burma bridge, a bridge made out of rope, gave a good opportunity for photo shoots and the children enjoyed the adventurous activity.Rural activities such as pottery, mud bath, painting frescoes on mud walls also aroused curiosity of a few. The boys enjoyed games like soccer, badminton, cricket and trampoline jumping. Girls flocked to the Henna stall and could be seen swooning over the skills of the Henna artists. The students were awed to see the process of butter making, grinding of flour and vermicomposting. The DJ floor also had many takers and the children could be seen dancing away to glory. All in all, it was a day packed with fun and activities.
The trip proved to be a memorable one and the students came back sensitized to rural settings.
