There was a time when students were given the primary education, not in the well-furnished classrooms but in amidst of forest. This method of teaching helped them to remain close to nature and analyse minute changes in the environment. It also helped to build a strong bond with Mother Nature. Today thing has changed a lot. With the advancements in technology, people who spend most of their time outdoors now hesitate to remain under the sun. They were very keen to play with the electronic gadgets and view soap operas telecasted on television. Such activities help us to provide entertainment but indirectly affected human relations.
