In the first session, Aru taught the children about mountains - how they were formed; the geographical spread of the Himalayas and some of the main peaks therein; how ice from the glaciers melts to give rise to the rivers. The learners were not entirely knowledgeable in this, but they listened intently and enthusiastically participated in the Q&A session that followed.

The next session dealt briefly with traffic rules, especially with regard to crossing roads. This was of practical relevance to the children, as many of them have to cross the road to come to the Parivartan classes. Those who answered questions correctly in this and the previous session were rewarded with a packet of Crax curls, pens and toffees.

The programme finally ended with the distribution of “Krack-Jack Biscuits” and “Mango bite toffees” among all the children. Dr. Indraneel Mandal accompanied and motivated the student volunteers. Prof. Lokesh Upreti guided the volunteers in the conduct of the programme as the faculty coordinator of CSR Club - Parivartan.
