JAIN INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL
Duke of Edinburgh (Gold Award)
A group of 23 students
were selected for the Duke of Edinburgh ( Gold Award ) programme. A 6 days
trekking programme, dated from 22nd November 2017 to 27th November 2017 was
organised to The Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve ,Ooty. The skills exhibited by the
students were remarkable. During this trek the students felt The Nature from a very closer perspective. They met one
the tribes of The Nilgiris THE
TODA TRIBE and had the
opportunity to interact with them and visit one of their MUND (home). They were
very enthusiastic to know about their life style, culture, their benefit from
the government etc. Their eagerness to know about these people more, made us
reach the wetlands to know the source of water for them. As a part of the study
programme they had the opportunity to visit specific places such as the Ooty Vegetable market where they were asked to make a survey about
the varieties of exotic and local vegetables. They also got to visit vegetable
farm where they saw the exotic vegetables being grown and also the auction of
vegetables being held. Around the ooty lake they identified the various sources of pollution and also analysed them.
The involvement of the
children was outstanding and worth an applause.
Praying for their
success.
