On July 11, 2025, the Std VIII students embarked on an educational excursion bound for the renowned Bakery Training Unit at GKVK (Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra), Bengaluru— A distinguished hub for bakery education operated under the University of Agricultural Sciences for over half a century.
The students buzzed with anticipation en route. Upon arrival, they were ushered into a spacious lecture hall and courteously seated. In a brief moment, the lead instructor entered to introduce the institute, elucidating its mission and historical legacy.
The core session commenced with an illuminating demonstration on cookie-baking techniques. The instructor meticulously explained each step—from ingredient selection and dough preparation to oven temperature control. The students watched intently, visibly captivated by the blend of science and artistry inherent in baking.
While the cookies were baking—a process lasting approximately 30 minutes—the instructor guided the students on a tour of the operational bakery zone. They observed the industrial ovens in action and met the dedicated staff who manage the baking equipment and processes.

The students returned to school enriched—not only with delectable cookies but also with a foundational understanding of baking principles and industrial-scale production.
