School field trips offer hands-on learning, connecting classroom theory to real world places.

Ramadevi Public School always strives for the holistic developments of the students, helping them gain knowledge with experience.

In the month of October ’25. Our school organized a field trip to MSME Industrial Park, Hyderabad for classes 6-10.

It was a compact hive of small and medium enterprises where age-old craft and modern manufacturing units are set in a very big area. We spent the day moving between various production units, a traditional block printing studio, a workshop making cane household articles, a factory assembling/packing mineral water bottles, and a drilling unit factory.

The park is neatly zoned, with low-rise workshops, open yards for drying and storage and shared utility blocks.

The block-printing unit was a highlight for many of us. This combined traditional craftsmanship and small-scale production techniques.

Students enjoyed trying simple motifs on a scrap cloth. Observing precision they understood how time-consuming hand-printing is compared to digital printing- and why handcrafted textiles often command premium prices.

Next, we moved to the cane articles workshop, where artisans turn cane into baskets, furniture parts and decorative items.

Cane is renewable and light weight; small workshops often promote eco-friendly home goods.

Good discussion points were supply-chain, the environmental footprint compared to plastic and water bottle manufacturing unit where the factory balanced mechanization. Automatic units filled with lids, seals and labels. Bottles passed through conveyer belts, packaging units and labeling work. These units illustrated how they can meet regulatory requirements and how they maintain the quality of the products.

Apart from these, we visited eco-friendly covers manufacturing unit and also borewell drilling unit’s manufacturing center. The park houses both traditional artisans and workers trained in modern QC.

The managers of these units spoke about the challenges - raw materials, access to larger markets, etc.

The trip was a practical lesson for students in design, quality, sustainability and the real economics behind products we use every day.

I thank our principal Mrs. Qamar Sulthana and our school management for arranging such an impressionable and knowledgeable trip for the students.
