Number of participants: Fifty students from semester one and semester three participated in the trip along with seven faculty members
Objective and outcome of the trip: The trip to the museums is part of the curriculum of the Skill Enhancement Paper for Sem 1 and Sem 3 students. As part of this, the students were encouraged to develop an understanding of the necessity of conserving and preserving the rich heritage of the society to which they belong. A visit to the Indian Museum enabled the students to do so. The trip to Alipore Jail Museum diversified understanding of the museum and how it caters to different ideas of the preservation of heritage. The Jail Museum served as an important site to comprehend how a museum can also be about a particular period and type of history. Moreover, this visit to the museum also highlighted the significance of the national struggle of India and the sacrifices that the martyrs had made. This further served as a source of inspiration for this generation.

Upon reaching the museum, the students toured different galleries of the Indian Museum which include the Gandhara-Mathura art Gallery, Coins Gallery, Egypt Gallery, Bharhut Gallery, Textile Gallery, and Paintings Gallery.

Thereafter, they visited the Alipore Jail Museum where they toured different sections within the jail premises- namely the police museum, Subhash Cell, Nehru Cell, and the Gallows of Alipore Jail.
