For this purpose, the students were assigned supervisors who provided continuous guidance and support to enable them to successfully complete the tasks assigned to them. The students were asked to select a product of their interest and gain hands-on experience related to the product chosen by them. The students were also taken to Temi Tea Garden and Factory on 4th June 2026 with the objective of providing students with practical exposure and first-hand experience regarding the functioning and management of the tea industry 
The following products were selected by the students under the Experiential Learning programme:
