Beyond the Classroom, Outbound Training: The IIT Madras Journey

By Lt Col Jayakumar

Book Overview

During SAMANVAY 2007, the annual cultural festival of DoMS, IIT Madras, a one-off Outbound Training event was conducted for the first time.

What began as a single, experimental initiative soon revealed its profound impact. It inspired the creation of a student-driven team, weekend programs, and eventually, a transformative movement that has touched thousands of students across years.

This book is the story of that journey-its beginnings, evolution, challenges, milestones, and the people who believed in its purpose.

It is a reflection on values that endure: experiential learning, teamwork, leadership, empathy, and the courage to step beyond comfort.

It is a tribute to the students and scholars community that made it possible.
