exchange through adventure helped the volunteers in development of their personality,
sportsmanship and character. They were also made aware of the environmental
changes and its adverse effects in future and the steps to be taken to counter the issue.
They were guided regarding how they can pursue their profession taking in

validates the fact that desired standards of exposure and training in adventure activities
and mountain techniques were achieved.
