Students were sensitized about the main highlights of the exhibition which was all about the 60 raptor species. They also discovered the magnificent world of raptors and appreciated the need for their protection and conservation.

The students were divided into 6 groups and were given a topic to prepare a short presentation for the CCA Activity. The topics were related to 2 bird groups each for Eagle, Vulture and Owl. An On-the-spot activity was also conducted to judge how well the students have observed the exhibition. The assigned team leaders made 5 points each for explaining their topics in brief.
