I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand ~ Confucius. Experiential learning has been the root of Indian education system since long, but on the way through thousands of years, we somewhere turned towards rote learning. But then with educational tours and excursions, the trends are creating its importance back in the education system, which enables the students to learn while exploring.
