For 150 tribal students from Arts, Commerce and Science College, Onde, in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, Mumbai became more than just a distant city—it became a classroom beyond textbooks. Organised by the KAASH Foundation, Mumbai, the one-day educational and exposure tour was designed to broaden perspectives and introduce students to academic, cultural, and civic spaces rarely accessible to them.

Travelling from Palghar aboard the Flying Ranee Express, the students began their day with a visit to Girgaon Chowpatty, where Mumbai’s coastline offered lessons in history, culture, and urban life. The experience set the tone for a day focused on learning through observation and interaction.
