On 13 February 2025, 143 students of class V accompanied by their teachers — Ms Pratima Roy, Ms Sushila Negi, Ms Rupinder Kaur, Ms Radhika Prabhaker, Mr Suraj, and Ms Jyoti Ahlawat embarked on an enriching educational excursion to Amrit Udyan and the museum at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, for a vibrant and sensory experience.
The sprawling 15 acres of greenery feature herbal plants, vinatage bonsais and ribbon like stretches of flower beds densely filled with blooms in myriad colours and varieties. Tulip, marigold, dahlia etc., besides a seemingly infinite variety of roses beckoned us as if in a sea of colour.
The purpose of the trip was not only to awaken the lover of flora in our students but also to provide them with an insightful knowledge of India’s political history and cultural heritage.
The journey began at 9:15 am when the excited students boarded the buses at School. The teachers ensured that all students were seated comfortably and then briefed them about the morning's itinerary. During the journey, the teachers engaged the students in an interactive discussion about various types of flowers and their significance, enriching their knowledge before reaching the destination.
Upon arrival at Amrit Udyan, we made our way to the Central Lawn, the Long Garden and the Circular Garden. The breathtaking beauty of the flowers including the exotic tulips, painted the landscape with vibrant hues not only captivated the young onlookers but also filled the air with their delightful fragrance.
After walking though Amrit Udyan, we proceeded to the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, where we were mesmerised by its grandeur. The museum, known for its vast collection of artefacts, historical documents, and digital exhibits, provided a unique glimpse into India’s rich past. The students explored the different museum sections which hosted exhibits from the president’s residence, Indian political history, and important national events.
The students were introduced to earned the history and evolution of Rashtrapati Bhavan, appreciated the museum’s use of technology, admired its intricate architecture, and developed a greater sense of civic awareness and patriotism.
The interactive displays and informative presentations helped students understand the roles and responsibilities of the President of India. The teachers facilitated discussions and encouraged students to ask questions, making the visit educational and entertaining.
After an enlightening and memorable experience, the students boarded the buses for the return journey. The teachers conducted a brief reflection session on the bus ride, where students shared their favourite moments and key takeaways from the excursion.
The trip was a resounding success. It enhanced knowledge and sparked new curiosity and appreciation for India’s rich heritage and biodiversity.
