              for  the  students  of DPSBN. Keeping  this  in               Triumphant smile
              mind, a trek was organised for the students
              of 11th grade by India Hikes. A big group of
              enthusiastic children signed up for the trek.
              The trek was split over three days due to the
              huge  response  with  two  sections  going  at  a
              time.  Children  were  taken  to  Nandi  1,
              Brahmagiri  hills  which  are  about  4000  feet
              above the sea level. This trek also had clean-
