To give the students an opportunity to learn beyond classroom and help them to understand
the facts in more practical and realistic ways, a field trip was arranged for the students for the
students of grade 3 to 5 to Shilparamam on November 12th, Saturday. The trip was to let
them experience India’s cultural heritage. Shilparamam is an arts and crafts village which
was initiated with an objective of preserving Indian arts and handicrafts. At Shilparamam, the
students observed different stalls that represented and displayed art and crafts of India. The
students observed huts that showcased rural and tribal lifestyle of artisans. In addition, they
observed models which depicted day-to-day activities of various rural artisans. The
handicrafts, woodwork, jewellery, terracotta sculptures and sarees showcasing cultures of
different states were of huge interest for the geckos. The geckos could also view the festivals
celebrated in India round the year through the models displayed there.
The field trip to Shilparamam enabled the students to experience different cultures ; our rich
tradition blended with creativity at one place.
