The Department of Education, Patna Women’s College (Autonomous), Patna, organised School Exposure Programme I for B.Ed. First Semester students of the 2026–2028 session from 2 to 6 November 2026. Conducted on the theme “One Earth, One Water, One Life,” the programme provided prospective teachers with opportunities to interact with school students, organise educational activities and gain practical experience in school settings.

The trainees were placed in five schools of Patna: Indra Prasad Singh Gangasthali Higher Secondary Balika Gyanpith, Ramlakhan Singh Yadav High School, Bankipore Rajkiya Balika Uchch Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Government Boys’ High School, Shastri Nagar, and Saraswati Vidya Niketan (Model School), Shastri Nagar.

The programme began with an orientation introducing the theme and the relationship between the Earth, water and life. This was followed by “Prakriti aur Pran,” a yoga session connecting physical well-being with nature and healthy living.

The creative activity “Srijan” involved preparing decorative torans and decorating diyas. Students also attended “Boond Boond Se Jeevan,” a presentation on water conservation and the responsible use of natural resources.

Under “Rangavalli,” school students participated in a rangoli-making competition based on the environmental theme. The activity provided a way to communicate environmental messages through visual art, and certificates were given to the first, second and third position holders.

The programme also included a skit titled “Shrishti: Hamari Darohar,” followed by an exhibition showcasing students’ creative work and a concluding session.

Across the five schools, the activities gave B.Ed. trainees practical experience in planning and organising learning experiences, communicating with school students and coordinating co-curricular programmes. They also demonstrated how environmental education can be connected with yoga, art, performance and collaborative learning.
