Students posing on site
To get an in-depth glimpse of the life in past- in the
ancient civilizations, the students of Form 4 and 5 went for a trip to Qutub
Complex and Mehrauli Archaeological Park on Friday, the 7th September 2012.
Beautifully landscaped gardens, lush green lawns and a majestic tower in the
centre, the Qutub Minar welcomed us as we walked into its premises. This was a
study tour with ‘Itihaas’, a group that organizes school trips to various
historical sites across Delhi. The trip was very informative for the students
as they have been doing research on Ancient Civilization in their UOI.
Students discussion forum on hisporical facts
It was a new place to
discover and know more about the past, the civilizations that once existed,
their lifestyle, buildings, architecture etc. The instructors from the
‘Itihaas’ organised various activities for our students and narrated lots of
interesting stories from the past. The students carried their jotters with them
and have got back loads of information that they took as notes when their
instructors showed and told them facts. The big feature of the trip was the
75-metre stone column, but there was much more to see too. The mosque, tomb and
the iron pillar — everything there was visually captivating.
