Sancharam Club
 
 
1. What is Sancharam Club?
 
Sancharam Club is a travel club meant exclusively for the students. We all know that travelling provides the traveller with a lot of new and fresh knowledge and experience each time. This club aims at enlightening the growing generation through travels.
 
2. What is the need of a travel club for students?
 
Most of the children in India, especially in Kerala, lead a safer life than the rest of the world. It might have been so for centuries, so to say. Truly speaking, many of us are not interested in dreaming big or making adventurous moves to attain greater achievements. We are just contended with the limited sphere of a government job, and regulate our life around that. But, right now, the scenes have changed drastically. This is the era of global challenges. Only those who display the highest talent, smartness and adventurous spirit, can win these challenges. In fact, many of our lazy people are being pushed back in almost all the fields. 'Sancharam Club' is trying to save the new generation from such pitiable conditions. There is a great need for such an association these days.
 
 
3. What is the real reason behind the backwardness of some people in many fields?
 
Narrow outlook and apolaustic mentality are the main reasons behind this. We must also admit that we don’t have the tradition of engaging in adventurous activities or being farsighted. Centuries ago, the Arabs, the Chinese and the Europeans made adventurous voyages across the mighty oceans and reached our shores to engage in trade with us. That was how our spices and other products reached Cairo, Damascus and the Far East. We produced not only the spices and condiments, but even constructed large hoys and boats to carry those goods to the foreign countries. However, we didn’t develop any adventurous spirit or flair for trade. None of our erstwhile rulers had the vision to sell our products directly to other countries using the hoys we ourselves had constructed. They never patronized adventurous activities among their subjects. Success comes only to those who possess the spirit of adventure. Those who dare to move through the unseen and unheard paths.
 
4. Is adventurous spirit the basis for every success?
 
Thinking differently from the conventional ways can be considered adventurous. It can be seen that such adventurous people have always been successful in various fields. Hence, adventurous spirit should be inculcated among the growing generation to make them capable of attaining greater heights. It is a pity that there are very few agencies in our country to cultivate such an adventurous spirit. And their activities are confined to small adventure clubs.
 
5. How can we ignite the adventurous spirit in children?
 
Many children do not develop a winning personality because of their fear towards many things. A misconception that they cannot do the things that others can do exists in them. By breaking this barrier of fear through simple steps, such children will achieve the courage and enthusiasm to enter into the vast world outside. They will be able to take firm decisions, aim high and thus, go forward in life.
 
6. Do the children need to come out of the classroom?
 
Newer and fresher sights and experiences will excite and inspire the children and urge them to dream big. This can only be possible through traveling. Children should be allowed to come out of the classrooms and travel. Then only their curiosity will be aroused, and they will become aware of themselves. Subsequently, they will take up new and big activities and challenges on their own. Thus, they will begin to develop their talents and do the nation proud.
 
7. What is the aim of Sancharam Club?
 
Sancharam Club aims to show the children the beauty of the world, and point out the countless opportunities that are in store for everyone. When the children begin to travel and engage in adventurous activities, it will indirectly change the condition of the country itself. Their adventurous spirit would help them become a good entrepreneur, a leader, a scientist, a sports person, an artist, a writer, a social activist, a reformer and so on.
 
8. What are the benefits of joining Sancharam Club?
 
Sancharam Club provides a platform for the children coming from different places to mingle with each other and interact with each other. Such activities will help them acquire new ideas. They will also get the opportunity to acquaint themselves with characteristics and heritage of our land. They come to realize that there are people who are greater and more respectable than them. They also come to know that there are people in the society who experience greater sorrows and problems than they do. They become conscious about the vastness and possibilities of the world around them. The adventurous and travel-thirsty people have always created history. The great adventurous voyages conducted by the western people have transformed the history of the world. The parents in Europe and America prompt their children to travel in order to acquire knowledge. Educational institutions are also giving greater importance to travelling. The habit of travelling extensively and gathering invaluable knowledge from them are definitely the major factors of success in life.
 
9. Are children safe in the tours conducted by Sancharam Club?
 
The tour groups are accompanied by Sancharam Club officials and experienced teachers. Sancharam Club is duty-bound to make each trip enjoyable, knowledgeable and at the same time, safe. The club strongly believes that each child is an important member of a family and an asset to the nation.
 
10. What is the role of Sancharam Club in today's society?
 
Sancharam Club intends to open the world of unlimited opportunities to the students by utilizing the good points of our curriculum. The club urges the students to grow from local personalities to world-known personalities. The mission of Sancharam Club is on to mould the students into universal citizens so as to raise the honour of our nation.
