one of the best ways to explore greater
things beyond the comfort zone. It
exhibits the environment and history
of our country by exploring its
treasures.

historical and meaningful places in
our country. Not only this year but
every year.
Our school had again proved
that we are not just for classroom
learning but also beyond the four corners of the room. With the help of our
professors and tour guides, we managed a safe and successful tour.
