Vidya Niketan has introduced adventure games as part of its school curriculum to ensure the overall personality development of its students. Vivek Pandit, founder president, says, “We wanted to initiate an activity in school that would channel the students’ excess energy, boost their confidence and instil team spirit in them. We thought adventure sports were an excellent choice for achieving this.”
