However, with Day 2, students were all geared up for the challenge that was ahead of them. Day 2 featured some hard-core adventure activities which included rock-climbing, caving as well as rappelling activities. All these physically intense as well as mentally taxing activities tested the physical fitness levels of the students as well as their concentration levels. The groups were competing all this while when they were participating in different activities.
Day 3 saw the shift in base of the student camp as they progressed towards the Dimna Lake for some water sports activities. The day saw students learning the basics of rafting and eventually managing to create their own rafts using merely 8 bamboos and 4 drums, along with ropes. Designing a raft which could stay afloat required some great collaboration among the members of each group. However, each group managed to create their rafts and raced from one shore to another, on those rafts. The group which accomplished the entire activity within the least possible time, prevailed over the rest of the groups eventually.
In the midst of all this experiential learning, how could some theoretical learning stay behind ? The students did learn the theoretical aspects of leadership during the outbound programme as well. Their facilitator, Prof. Gaurav, did a great job in making students go that extra mile in finishing all the group activities with their full energy and commitment.The programme emerged as a well-chalked out programme to make students learn and practically demonstrate their leadership skills on the field.
