The Outbound Experiential Learning (OBEL) program designed for the MBA students of BNMIT marked a significant milestone as it embarked on its 3rd edition, taking place from the 26th to the 28th of July.

This initial engagement paved the way for an array of adventures that lay ahead.

Under the guidance of the seasoned experts at the Big Barn farm, the participants were introduced to the diverse realm of adventure activities on the second day of the program. An insightful session covered not only the intricacies of different adventure activities but also delved into the meticulous process of planning these endeavours. The mastery of equipment used in such activities and the art of tying various knots were demonstrated and practiced, offering a hands-on understanding that enriched the learning experience.

As the program progressed into its second day, participants continued to expand their skill set with an immersive exploration of various knots, reinforcing their practical prowess. A live demonstration illustrating the intricacies of planning and executing rappelling activities added a layer of practicality to the learning process. The stage was thus set for a more comprehensive application of acquired knowledge.

The pinnacle of the OBEL program unfolded on the third day as the participants embarked on a journey to Mutthurayaswamy hills. Amidst the tranquil hills, a series of exhilarating activities awaited, including rappelling, caving, and vertical trekking. These immersive experiences not only tested their physical endurance but also fostered resilience, adaptability, and a deep sense of accomplishment. The combination of these dynamic activities provided an unmatched learning opportunity, as participants not only acquired new skills but also gained valuable insights into their own capabilities and potential.

In summation, the OBEL program for BNMIT’s MBA students delivered a holistic and enriching experience that extended beyond the classroom. With a comprehensive blend of theoretical insights and practical applications, the program seamlessly merged critical thinking, teamwork, and adventure into an invaluable learning journey. The participants emerged not only with newfound knowledge and skills but also with a profound sense of achievement and personal growth. This 3rd edition of the OBEL program undoubtedly stands as a testament to the institution’s commitment to providing its students with unparalleled opportunities for holistic education and experiential learning.

With mobile phones in hand, they immediately let you know what they think and experience. Creating campaigns based on a traditional market survey done months ago may be of little use today.
