Gautam Buddh Nagar: In an effort to provide practical learning exposure to students, the Basic Education Department organised a special educational tour for students of Kasturba Gandhi Residential Girls’ Schools (KGBV) in the district. The tour was conducted under the directions of District Magistrate Medha Rupam, with guidance from Chief Development Officer Dr. Shivakant Dwivedi and leadership of District Basic Education Officer Rahul Panwar.
As part of the KGBV educational exposure visit, students were taken to Amrit Udyan and India Gate to enhance their educational experience beyond the classroom.
The objective of the visit was to help students gain practical exposure to subjects they study in textbooks, especially related to history, science and national heritage. The initiative also aims to develop scientific thinking among students while fostering a sense of pride and awareness about the country’s historical landmarks.

During the visit to Amrit Udyan, students explored the gardens and learned about the diversity of plants, landscape design and environmental conservation. At India Gate, they were informed about the significance of the national war memorial dedicated to soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
To ensure smooth execution of the programme, a special district-level monitoring team was formed to supervise the tour. According to the Basic Education Department, such exposure visits provide students with new experiences, confidence and motivation, contributing to their overall development.
Officials added that nodal teams from Bisrakh, Dankaur and Jewar, along with wardens and staff members of the respective schools, played a significant role in organising and facilitating the tour successfully.
