As part of promoting Experiential Learning under NEP 2020, our Pre-Primary students of Greenwood High School, Hunter Road, visited the Warangal Railway Station. The visit aimed to provide children with hands-on learning and help them understand the functioning and importance of the railway system.
Students were introduced to different sections of the station โ the ticket booking counter, ATVM ticket machine and platform areas. They learned about the importance of tickets, observed how passengers stand in a queue to purchase them and explored the railway chart showing train names, numbers, arrival and departure timings and days of service.
They also learned about platform numbers, the use of red and green flags, signal lights and announcements made for trains. Children eagerly explored the waiting hall, entry and exit boards, escalator and discussed rules to follow while traveling. The excitement on their faces as they watched the trains arrive and depart was truly delightful!
This experiential trip not only enhanced their knowledge but also sparked curiosity and joy in learning beyond the classroom.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the school management for organizing such a meaningful and enriching learning experience for our young learners.

Putting Ourselves in Others’ Shoes When we take the time to understand and share our friends’ feelings, we build trust and deepen our connections. Empathy isn’t just about feeling sorry for someone; it’s about putting ourselves in their shoes and seeing things from their perspective. By doing so, we create a safe space for our friends to be themselves, without fear of judgment.
Learning to Be Kind and Respectful Education isn’t just about academics; it’s also about learning how to be kind, respectful, and compassionate towards others. When we understand that everyone has their own unique experiences and perspectives, we become more empathetic and open-minded. This helps us build stronger, more meaningful relationships with others. Celebrating Our Differences Inclusion is about embracing our differences and making everyone feel welcome and valued. When we practice inclusion, we recognize that everyone has something special to offer, and we celebrate our diversity. By doing so, we create a sense of community and belonging, which is essential for building genuine friendships.
Conclusion In the end, it’s the relationships we build with others that truly matter. By cultivating empathy, education, and inclusion, we can create friendships that are authentic, supportive, and life-changing. So let’s strive to be understanding, kind, and inclusive towards others, and let’s build a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
