HIGHLIGHTED CORE LEARNING:

Archaeological Museums are famous for providing a vivid picture of the Indian subcontinent. They play an integral role in preserving the rich cultural heritage of India, and are present in almost all the major Indian cities. Indian Archaeological Museums exhibit a large variety of excavated materials from ancient and medieval India.

VISION & MISSION:

• This activity will help students begin to discover why we study the past
• Exposing children to real-world situations, but they can also help build confidence, create stronger teacher-student relationships and improve a student's critical thinking skills.
• Bringing exciting curricula based on real-world problems
• Exposure to the world of work provides opportunities for students to build connections with professionals outside their usual family networks, and to learn by “doing” in real world contexts
