Industrial Visit to Karnataka Silks & Soaps by Darshan College, Kengeri, Bangalore.
“To acquire knowledge, one must study and to acquire wisdom one must observe.” In order to bridge the gap between knowing the concepts and understanding them, Darshanites marched off to an Industrial Visit to gain practical know-how and exposure, to two Manufacturing blocks - Karnataka Silks Industries Corporation Limited(KSICL) and Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited(KSDL) located at the cultural capital of Karnataka and also the City of Palaces-Mysore. The Students acquired ample and abundant knowledge on the various procedures involved in transformation of silkworms to the elegant silk sarees and also conversion of Sandalwood into various fragrant and aromatic products. It is rightly said that ‘observe & understand’ is better than ‘read & learn’ and for this reason it is a must to have concrete experience and exposure, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation.
