Students from Bettakote High School and the Chikkajala High School were the first to experience this tour on Friday. After the visit, Doddaya, a teacher from Bettakote High School said, "This initiative took us all by surprise. The children came here for a fun time, but are now going back with important information on the significance of plants in our surroundings and environment at large, besides knowing about their positive impact on water tables and also about biodiversity in our immediate neighbourhood. We are glad that the airport is taking such an initiative."
