An educational tour or a field trip is a visit to a place away from their normal place of study. The purpose of this trip is to provide students an experience outside the class room or labs. One of the most important benefits of an educational tour is that it subtly develops an understanding of various social issues around the world. Students get a better grip on the local and the global issues. They become more empathetic and respectful towards other cultures as well as towards their own surroundings.

The department of chemistry inspired and provides opportunity to the students of the department for educational tour/ field trip time to time.
