FIELD TRIP - VSSC SPACE MUSEUM, VELI TOURIST VILLAGE & POOVAR ISLAND

 

Feld trip related experiences generate as much enthusiasm, or promise as many lifelong memories, as the field trip. Well-designed and well-planned field trips can lead to new learning, reinforce what already has been taught, and aid greatly in the retention of information. While engaged in field trip activities, students can develop rich understandings. We had taken two or three weeks' time for planning. First of all we had to decide the place for the field trip which could be covered in one day. Then we had decided the date and time after considering various factors we decided March 31, 2022 as the adequate time and to start the trip at 6.30 am and expected to reach at 10.00 pm. The planning was done by the student with the guidance of the teachers. After getting sanction from the higher authorities we had arranged the bus and food from the proper place. After fixing the above said activities we had decided the amount to collect from the students is Rs.1200/-. Finally we informed all students and faculties reach starting point of our college at 6.00am on 31.03.2022 and we start our trip on 6.30am with arrived students.

On March 31, 2022, all the students and teachers had reached the college at sharp 6.30 am. We had started the journey after completing the routine tour procedures from the MMTC and reached back the college at 09.45 pm and dispersed with an enjoyed and refreshed mind.
