The program aimed at providing hands-on learning about tropical forest ecosystems as a way to inspire positive environmental stewardship. More than 100 participants including students and teachers from CIS have attended the 3-day workshop. The Green Practices Committee (GPC) organized an outbound training (OBT) program on 2016 at the Conservation Education Center, Yagirala for students who have volunteered to take part in the activities in greening the University. The training was organized with the objectives of motivating team performance by using complementary skills, increasing collaboration, innovation and productivity, and developing team strategies for getting results, building trust, and giving &amp; receiving feedback.
