The Bandipur Experiential Programme transforms the forest into a living classroom where students learn through direct wildlife observation, ranger interactions, inquiry walks, guided nature experiences, and structured reflection. Students explore real ecosystems, understand interdependence, recognise animal adaptations, and learn about conservation challenges while developing responsibility toward the environment. The experience strengthens critical thinking, communication, research, collaboration, and self-management skills through meaningful, real-world learning.
Students develop Thinking, Research, Communication, Social, and Self-Management skills through field observation, inquiry questioning, note-taking, sketching, reflection, teamwork, responsible behaviour, and active participation in nature-based learning.
Students understand forest ecosystems, recognise interdependence among plants, animals and humans, learn how animals adapt for survival, explore conservation issues, and develop agency toward wildlife protection while strengthening inquiry, reflection, communication, and collaborative learning skills.
Students can identify Bandipur wildlife, explain food chains and energy flow, describe adaptations and interdependence, and recognise conservation challenges. They demonstrate improved observation, questioning, recording, classification, and comparison skills. They show respect for protected habitats, empathy for animals, responsibility toward conservation, and a positive action mindset through meaningful experiential learning.
