 Maharashtra Educational Tour
Introduction
An educational tour is a fun – filled experience. As the tour places are too far ,
it is an opportunity for students to have a jolly time together. For some days they
can forget about classes, homework and exams. Travel by bus or train, with
students singing songs and making merry while indulgent teachers look on, is an
unforgettable experience.

We can visit to places of historical importance or museums where ancient

artifacts are preserved. A visit to old forts and palaces or the ruins of ancient
kingdoms can make history come alive before our eyes. It also gives us an idea of how
people lived in olden days. Science students may visit to places of scientific
importance like research labs. As an entrepreneur various ideas comes from the
industrial visits.
 Even onlookers feel an infectious enthusiasm when they see a busload of
students singing in gay abandon and waving to them gaily. The proximity of friends
and the absence of parents is an invitation to mirth and mischief. Some close
friendships may be forged during this period for we understand more about people
when we stay with them for some days. The saddest part is coming back to home for
same old routine.

Importance
 Tours help students to learn through visual experience...

 Educational tours can be an interesting way to explore new things...

 They help in educating children on complex topics...

 Students get idea on concepts through live examples...

 Educational trips must be made compulsory in schools...

 Teach how to manage any program...

Feedback
As per as my opinion is concerned it was great experience. By means of
this tour we traveled all over the Maharashtra and saw new places which
we haven’t seen .Educational tour is completed in all manner and it gives
experiences in positive as well as negative manner. All the visiting places
give knowledge to us. Generally KVK Baramati inspired us as
entrepreneur and give new ideas which we can plant in our native
places.WALMI inspired us for saving and full utilization of the water in
the field & give knowledge about the renewable energy sources as solar
energy. Industrial area such as production of drip irrigation pipes gives
us knowledge about the online and offline dripper. At WALMI the
method of distributing food is very nice
.They teaches us do not spoil foodj. We learn cleanliness from the
College of Agriculture Puna . Know more things about the Rahuri. WALMI
provide us vast knowledge about soil and water conservation. At Raigad
Fort and Tuljapur temple we take a look on the historical monuments and
the art of that time.

This educational tour is very important for all round development of

the student. Much interaction has occur between students and teachers.
We learn management from this educational tour. A nice conversation is
done between teachers and students during the tour. Some visiting spots
are missed due to far distance but it can be ignored, because other places
are provide sufficient knowledge to students.

Suggestion:
 Do not select those places which are far away from each other.

Thanks to all for such great educational tour.
