EDUCATIONAL TOUR

EDUCATIONAL TOUR

 

Traveling according to Sir Francis Bacon, the famous essayist is education. In the earlier days, before going on long tours, people used to depart from their places with great amount of ceremony, and their friends and relatives also used go give them a warm farewell.

 

But with the advancement of science and new modes of travel developing, going out has become as pleasure now. Even the government allows many concessions and grants for educational tours

 

The railways regularly allow concession on tours to educational and historical centers, and places of importance like the dams powerhouses, lakes, hill stations tourist resorts, factories, industrial-houses, gardens sanctuaries, monuments and so on.

 

When students leave their surroundings and stay out for a few days with their friends and teacher or guides, they automatically develop self-confidence, responsibility, self-reliance, tolerance and over and above all, acquire general knowledge

 

Simply reading books on science, commerce, arts, medicine, management, computers, education, law, engineering, history, architecture etc. produces only book worms. For having enlightened citizens for a better world order, we should encourage educational tours in our schools and colleges and thus develop the overall personality of the young boys and girls.
