Question

Essay on benifits of travelling

Answer 1

Nobody can under-estimate the educational value of travelling.  Travelling is a better teacher than books.  It confirms one’s bookish and theoretical knowledge.  It helps us to learn things in an easier, more lasting and more lucid manner.  Think of a student who has actually seen the Taj.  Is he not much better placed to write about the Taj than any of his class-fellows who has never been to Agra? Travelling gives first- hand information about things places, persons and events.  IT provides an opportunity for acquiring practical knowledge of men and matters and enables a person to fight the battle of life in a more successful way. Travelling is essential for the healthy growth of the mind.  Tagore write : “The health of the mind cannot be maintained on the ration of books served up in motionless classes within the prison walls of a static school.”
