They also had some management games which helped the students to have learning with fun.



Students visited Mahabalipuram on 30-07-16 as a continuation of the outbound program.
Students were introduced  to the history and significance of Mahabalipuram . They learned about the ruins of the Pallava Dynasty, one of the most powerful dynasties in South India. They visited the shore temple, varaha caves, etc. They were fascinated by the Dravidian style of architecture combined with the incredible Pallavan architectural methods.

The intricate designs, the colossal size of the temples, the poetry and dedication behind them were an incredible experience for the students.
