@MahimaGirMehra for this beautiful stop on this trip to Srinagar Drass Kargil Leh a journey worth each mile. The climb was hard but it was worth every step to reach a school made by the villagers to ensure their students get access to good education.

The exploration then began with the tool looking for the cells, searching for the image in sunlight vs the room light, the excitement had to be felt with even the teachers waiting for their turn to see the cells. They then wanted to note down their observations, draw what they say n show us their notes. wanting to observe more and more samples we were hard pressed for time as the cohort was large.

This is one of the few schools in the world that has a student council which strives to protect and help the students with their problems, they even have their own office so much to learn from these young leaders.
