TRAVELLING AS A PART OF EDUCATION

“A home keeping youth has homely wits” says Shakespeare. Really speaking a youth who has never moved out of his village or town or city, he is like a proverbial frog in the well. But the moment one steps out and come in contact with the outer world knows  the manners, customs, ritual, traits and languages. One can realise his  limitations.It also gives pleasure and has charm and nobility. The educative value of travelling is immense. It gives opportunity to observe the wonders of creation and our study of all the subject remain almost incomplete until we see with our own eyes. Travelling satisfy the curiosity that is developed from education. It also enhances courage, self- confidence and breaks the monotony. It is for this, Tagore has said,’In education reading and seeing must be combined. One of the means of learning by seeing is evidently travelling.” [143 words]
