They get quality time to spend with classmates (class fellows). They discuss on various issues among themselves such as news, sports & games, TV programmes, academics etc. It provides practicality to their classroom teaching.  Going out on tours and trips, students inculcate various qualities in themselves such as team work, cooperation, adapting in changing environment, problem solving skills etc.  Some of the places of trips and tours are educational, which are useful for career in future. For instance,  science City teaches them about the evolution of human being and about their universe and how it started.

Trips make the students to know about the various historical events and influential persons associated with the site. These provide practical exposure related to the theory books. To exemplify, a school visit to a museum depicts the great knowledge about the Indian freedom fighters who fight against the British and sacrifices their lives for humanities.
