On 11th of December last month, a local tour was organised for all the students of Sarvodaya Vidyalaya Badarpur Khadar, Delhi. The students were informed well in advance. They reached the school in time and boarded the assigned buses at sharp 8.30 a.m. escorted by their respective class teachers. A sumptous refreshment like light snacks, frooti etc. was relished by the students, while travelling. They disposed off the wrappers in dustbin, kept in buses. All the students were very happy and sung songs while making merry. The students never realised when they reached the first spot that was Science Museum. They noted the important information in their notebooks that they were carrying. The next destination was Humayun's Tomb. The students and the teachers had their lunch in the outer lawns. When they entered the premises,they were taken aback by its sheer beauty. It was a magnificient monument with well manicured lawns. There were fountains amidst numerous small square ponds. It was an extremely beautiful view. The students were then asked by the teachers to form queues again to move to the next spot - that was Rail Bhawan. They had glimpse of journey of railways in India Since 1953. It was fascinating. The bus reached the school at 5.00 p.m. The students were a bit tired but happy. They bade good bye to the teachers and moved to their respective homes.
