Students sense of Belonging towards the Adopted Monument I student of class VIII-A of g.d.Salwan Public School visited Bhooli Bhatiyari Ka Mahal from school with my class coordinator and classmates. It is a Monument built in 14th century to thank the lady named Bhatiyari who helped Firoz Shah Tuglaq when he lost his way while hunting. Our school plans to adopt this monument. When we went there we were shocked to see its condition , our expectations were shattered. The present condition is only because of human activities . But I have already developed a kind of belongingness towards this heritage site. I can visualize the picture in my mind about how beautiful it must be in the 14 th century. But today it is in a bad shape. This shows our lack of care towards this monument . We think that it is our history, our past but it’s our duty to protect this herit...
Students Sense of Belonging towards the Adopted Monument We the member of Heritage club ‘Dharohar’ of g.d.Salwan Public School got the opportunity to visit Bhooli Bhatiyari Ka Mahal along with our Club coordinator Seema Goyal mam. When we saw the monument it was not in a good condition and at that time a spirit developed in my heart that I with all your help have to make this monument a popular tourist spot. This place can be made into a very popular spot for tourists and nearby residents.

I am really impatient and just want to put my foot on the accelerator and make this beautiful as fast as possible . We all have to become familiar with this m...
