We are fortunate to be staying around Varanasi – one of the oldest cities of the world. The city has its claim to be listed among the Heritage Sites. It was the vision of our Director Ms. Sweta Kanudia to enrich the excursions of students by giving them indepth knowledge of the cultural heritage of Varanasi. The Ministry of Tourism, Varanasi extended a helping hand by providing guides for the students. They were taken to Ramnagar Fort, Ramlila Ground, Dashashwamedh Ghat, Tulsi Manas Mandir, Jantar Mantar, Observatory, Kabir Prakatya Sthali, Shree Math, Piplani Math, Panch Ganga ghat to name a few.
