SCHOOL TRIP TO ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS
Lessons in Sustainability from the Heart of the Nilgiris
The Modern Classroom inculcates the concepts of sustainability and coexistence while exploring biodiversity hotspots. Established as a summer retreat during colonial times and officially known as Udhagamandalam, we go to the majestic hill city of Ooty!
Nestled amidst the Nilgiris, which translates to ‘Blue Mountain’, lies one of the oldest mountain ranges at the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. The wooded hills of the Western Ghats, with canopies of untouched vegetation interspersed with cultivated tea gardens, offer a rare view of the symbiotic existence between man and nature, teaching us about the conscious and sustainable use of natural resources.
