Global sustainability - Vikram Solar

Today has been fascinating - we've been to see a factory making solar panels. It's not often that we can see things like this so we felt quite privileged. Alas no photography was allowed so you'll not get to see us in our funny hats and shoes, but we had a full tour of the factory floor and got to see exactly how a solar panel is made. 

Before we were picked up in the morning, the teachers had a little tour of New Market, the main market in the centre of Kolkata. Amongst the things on sale were baskets of live chickens like the ones below. They are sold to restaurants and hotels and carried off on the backs of bicycles.

The factory insisted on feeding us in their staff canteen. This is what we had - proper Indian food!


The journey to the factory took us through some beautiful countyside and we stopped at the Falta River where we saw boats being repaired.


We're back in school tomorrow for our final day in India - time has gone so quickly!
