I. Floods a~c: not new to lntlia and thi!\ :.ubcontinent. but in recent years the problem of nooding
h,1, rccc ,v~d ~uch greater attention. perhaps J;irgely because it has led to greater damag;
~ow than it d id Ln the past. Even though information on the impending occurrence of noods

( B) Accepting the Proposal
A thorough ana lysis o f the iti nerary provided by thi.: tour organizing vendor reveals that the
to ur proposal sho uld be accepted. It is well-planned and includes an array of educational
activities for the siudcnts. The inclusion of visit to Bhawartal Garden, Bhedaghat Dhuandhar
Falls, Marble Rocks Cable cru tour, and Rani Durgavati Museum offers an opportunity for
the students to lea rn about nature. history. and art. The tour to Kanha Tiger Reserve adds an
e lement o f adve nture and allows students to connect with wildlife. The provision of bouled
mi neral wate r, insura nce po licy, and tour manager's assistance ensures the safety and well-
being o f the students. Tnclusion of a DJ party adds to the entertainment, enjoyment and
enthusiasm quotient of the tour. The complimentary staff provided for every twenty students
further adds to the security of the students. Therefore. the tour proposaJ for the educational
trip should be approved.
