Dear Jeyamohan,
You are organizing bird-watching and plant-watching classes at your institution. I think your main motto is to teach philosophy and literature. What is the role of these classes in this curriculum? . I thought birdwatching was a hobby and plant watching was a practice related to science.

Dear Raj
Any activity can serve as a valuable entry point into the intellectual world, and every path within it ultimately leads to literature and philosophy.
A hobby should be educational; only then will it be useful to us. An intelligent man cannot engage in activities that do not educate him or elevate his mind.
Bird-watching and plant-watching programs are hobbies that educate our minds. We are slowly moving towards nature, and observing it leads to art and thoughts.
These courses provide excellent opportunities for children to connect with nature, which in turn fosters their appreciation for art and philosophy, a phenomenon that has been observed worldwide.
