Such visits help to develop a better understanding of, and hence, a love for their studies by making the learning process interesting. Tours help students to move out of their comfort at home or educational institutions. While on the move, and away from home, various qualities including those of leadership among some students may get revealed.

Mentoring System

Mentoring of the students has been introduced in our department as it helps to build a personalized relationship between the mentor and mentee, which helps to transcend the traditional classroom teaching-learning process. It helps the teacher to understand and identify the qualities, potential and weaknesses of the students. The students can thus be guided, each according to his /her ability, to overcome weakness. A sense of self-confidence can be installed among them to enable them to meet the future challenges of life.
