INDUSTRIAL VISIT

Place of Visit: Wind Mill (LMW Site) Kinathukadavu, Pollachi

What is Windmill for Grade -6? A windmill is a big structure also called a mechanical device that transforms wind energy into electrical energy. It is a big structure that contains sails mounted on a rotating shaft; these rotating sails help transform the wind’s kinetic energy into electricity.

We at Kikani strongly believe that practical learning helps students learn more effectively. A student’s ability to grasp an idea is enhanced more by doing than by hearing about it.

The school had arranged an Industrial visit for grade 6 students to Kinathukadavu, a Windmill project site. Teachers and students started from school at 9 am and reached the site at 10 am. The project centre was located properly at Vadachitur, a small village near kinathukadavu.

We had a warm welcome by the officials. The site was amazing, the huge windmill at the centre is 94 metres in length and each wind blade length is 45 metres. The Engineers explained the working of windmill and the energy produced in turn and had a good interaction with our curious Kikanians. Students were grouped 40 per team and then taken to visit the windmill in close. Students were excited to see the working of windmill in close and they were clarifying their doubts regarding the windmill project. The officials also were very happy to explain the process and the production of energy through the project. We had a great time there, the visit was very informative. Students were able to know about the renewable energy-“wind energy” and how we can make use of it for our country’s sustainable development.
