18TH,2014
After our breakfast at Lemon Tree hotel,
Bangalore, we visited Purnapramati School, Center for Integrated Learning.
http://purnapramati.in/. This private institution emphasized a high degree of peer
to peer instruction, collaborative learning and holistic/comprehensive
education. We witnessed a special type of physical education game where some
teachers participated. 
For the afternoon session, Dr. Ashwin Mahesh
of the Anad Foundation: (http://anafoundation.org), gave us a talk on the "Trends
in Education in India". Dr. Mahesh presented various ways of solving
societal problems like urban decay, transportation and environmental issues by
using technology. He is a technologist and public policy researcher who has
devoted his time to help his country India after serving as a NASA Astronomer and
Climatic Science Specialist.
A Group dinner at upscale Rajdhni-UB city ended the day.
