The students were very excited when they reached the final point of the trekking session. The drizzling rain added to the fun. Walking upwards was not an issue for anyone but walking back downwards was a task due of the rains.

After coming down the students were taken to a hall where a power point presentation was shown to all the students which gave detailed information about the whereabouts at KeshavSrushti. Students were given detail information on topics like, greenhouse gases, vermicomposting, organic manure, solar gadgets, apiculture and ways to conserve the nature.

Students were shown the 'gaushala' and various other species of plants, fishes and insects. The group of girls had a session conducted on Paper-Recycling. This was the most interesting session of the day where all of them came to know how paper could be recycled at home also.

It was a bitter-sweet moment for all as they started the journey back home. All-in-all it was a well spent day as all of them needed a break from the daily-routine. The students were told to write a report on the field trip.
