Class V and Vll Field Trip
Academic field trips provide students with hands-on learning experiences and exposure to real-world applications of classroom knowledge. JHPS organised an educational field trip to National Institute of Rural Development for class V & VII in August, 2024.
This learning helped the students to understand how sustainable development helps to cater a positive and healthy lifestyle. How an entrepreneur can start eco-friendly small scale business by manufacturing products like soap, oil, shampoo, honey, medicinal herbs, and household cleaners for the public. Such products do not cause any harm to the human kind since they are chemical free and do not use harmful fertilisers.
The main highlight was ‘Sustainable Development Projects’ which were demonstrated to the students. To name a few, that caught the rapt attention of students are:
- ‘Portable Biogas Plant’, producing cooking gas from kitchen waste
- Sewage linked Bio gas plant
- Projects on wastage of electricity
They got an opportunity to learn how handmade paper is made from waste material, natural dyeing of yarn, vermi-composting of organic manure and herbal products. Students saw different types of dwellings like bamboo house, mud house and houses with different types of roofs.
Students really enjoyed watching the different processes and they made a note of each to share their knowledge with their friends. It also helped them in expanding horizons while building the curriculum in a meaningful and exciting way. It also inspired students and teachers to gain knowledge.
