Shri
Navchetan Andhjan Mandal, Madhapar, organized an enriching three-day
educational excursion for students of Grades 6 to 8, providing them with a
unique opportunity to explore the historical and cultural landmarks of Gujarat.
A total of 48 students with disabilities participated in this journey,
including 23 students from the Divyang Vidhya Vihar and DRC department, and 25
students from Divyang Kanyakunj. The group was accompanied and mentored by five
dedicated teachers who ensured a safe and informative experience for all.
The
primary objective of this trip was to broaden the students' horizons by
offering first-hand exposure to the state’s rich heritage, architecture, and
natural wonders.
The journey commenced early in the
morning as the group departed from Madhapar for Ahmedabad. The first stop was
the iconic Sabarmati Ashram, where students paid their respects at the
residence of Mahatma Gandhi, imbibing the values of peace and simplicity. The
afternoon was spent admiring modern urban marvels, including the Atal Bridge
and the scenic Sabarmati Riverfront. The day concluded with a visit to the
historic Kankaria Lake, where students enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere. The
group was graciously hosted for dinner and an overnight stay at the SGVP
Swaminarayan Gurukul in Chharodi.
On the second day, the students
traveled to the capital city, Gandhinagar. The itinerary began with a visit to
the Adalaj Stepwell, where the students marveled at the intricate historical
carvings. This was followed by an educational visit to Indroda Park, allowing
the students to observe diverse flora and fauna. After exploring the Dandi
Kutir museum, the group enjoyed a nutritious lunch at the Adalaj Trimandir. The
evening was dedicated to the Akshardham Temple, where the students were
enthralled by the grand exhibits and the spectacular water show.
On the morning of April 29, 2026,
the group departed from the Gurukul to begin their return journey. All students
reached Madhapar safely, carrying with them a wealth of knowledge and cherished
memories. This educational trip proved to be a profoundly happy and inspiring
experience, fostering a sense of curiosity and confidence among the young
learners.
