Shaping Careers
Beyond The Classroom
An excursion initiates students, particularly those who are not used to hostel life, to the joys and vagaries of community living. The department had provided each student with exercise books and stationery to pen down their thoughts regarding the tour. While they could appreciate the scenic beauties, they could also identify the infrastructural bottlenecks that could hamper the tourism industry in and around Darjeeling in the near future. Concern about the excessive traffic jam, pollution, changing weather conditions, unplanned constructions, etc. that are affecting both tourism and the tea industry in Darjeeling finds mention in their observations. Thus one can see that the application of coursework to real life experience was an important and welcome outcome of the trip.
Exploring Scientific Frontiers
