Kashedi –The green hill experience
 
Before the break of dawn, we Agnelites take off with our haversacks to a destination we know very little about. One motive, to ensure some quality picnic fun. Little did we know that this journey would bless us with a bountiful of knowledge & experience and a wealth of wakefulness, openness & calmness.
 
Take a trip through our experience. It takes approximately 8 hours to reach this destination away from our concrete jungles. The ride is pretty scenic as one winds through the ghats on the smooth concrete road. We park on this high altitude to be greeted by our Mentor Mr. Bhide at Kashedi. From here on we seek and learn on our fresh learning canvas.
 
Our opening sessions lead us into discovering our own minds as we experiment on math quiz, learning and knowing, introspecting and connecting to our inner being to find direction, working our grey cells to know what we are and answering the wildest brainy questions. All of this learning dialogue takes place not in a classroom but out in the open with nature’s tall green trees and chirping birds who give us soulful company.
 
We discover simple ways in which one could generate and conserve electricity, we also read up on the effects of global warming and of other worse events that constantly injure our planet.
 
All this comes with truckloads of entertainment as we are part of Kashedi’s traditions. Dancing and singing with the folk’s young and old as we try our best to match up to their well synchronized moves.
 
Once there, we are one with nature, learning practically, trekking up the hill to take a good look at the twinkling stars which go invisible in our polluted cities, locating constellations and planets in the pitch black skies with lit decorative stars, as we lay down calmly gazing and truly experiencing the magnificence of nature.
 
We also brainstorm and learn about opportunities in rural market, hurdles faced, difficulties encountered while marketing in rural areas.
 
We practice forest fire-fighting, and enjoy the late night insights over the warm bonfire, it indeed is an adventurous learning experience. Learning to swim and float is a part of this course. All of this and much more is what we take as we remember this amazing 3 day tour.
 
The best part of the course is the fact that the mountain was once barren land and a bunch of well read intellectual friends thought of converting the hill into a forest adding to the greenery that would parent a number of beings. And this green Kashedi is how beautifully they accomplished this self less dream. This commitment and daring zeal is what touched and ignited in us a spark inextinguishable
 
     
 
INDUSTRIAL VISIT
 
 

We agnelites undertook a trip to Aurangabad as the part of our industrial visit this year. Dampening the scorching heat with our enthusiasm and taking back invaluable knowledge, it was a trip to remember.

Our first destination was Bejo Seeds, a seeds manufacturing unit. Here we learnt what went into sowing the seeds that make the very backbone of our country. From the greenhouse to the laboratory, we gained insight into the latest biotechnological advances that goes into making quality seeds.

Next, we had the opportunity to witness what goes into making one of the most successful steel reinforcement bar manufacturing units, Kalika Steels Jalna Pvt. Ltd. where we witnessed first hand the entire jaw dropping, meticulous and precise process of manufacture and their tireless quality control process.

Garware Polytechnic was our next destination where we understood the behind the scene intricacies of . We were oriented around the manufacturing unit and observed the process control mechanisms and understood the stringent safety issues that were uncompromisingly taken care of.

But don’t be mistaken. We had our share of fun too. The sights of the majestic forts and tombs bearing witness to hundreds of years of glorious history transported us back into time. We bit into a slice of local culture with the scrumptious cuisine and the rare dying art of hand puppetry.

We came back, enriched and enthralled!
