Education is often mistaken for rote learning or the accumulation of facts. But at its core, education is meant to liberate, to free the mind, expand perspectives, and empower individuals to think independently. True education doesn’t just prepare you for exams; it prepares you for life. 

This freedom, however, cannot be achieved through textbooks alone. Experience is the bridge between knowledge and understanding. Whether it’s a science experiment gone wrong, a heated classroom debate, or a field trip that sparks curiosity, learning through doing imprints lessons in ways no lecture ever can. 

This idea rings deeply with Aditi Goradia, the Managing Director of Billimoria High School, Panchgani. An alumna of the institution, she returned with a vision to transform traditional education into an experiential journey.
