- Around 300 SSC Board students at Purushottam High School, Bandra, participated in a Geography workshop by Target Learning Ventures, where educator Dr. Ravi Dharma demonstrated creative map-learning techniques, answer writing strategies and examination tips.
Mumbai, September 11, 2026: Around 300 SSC Board students from Purushottam High School, Bandra, participated in an interactive Geography workshop organised by Target Learning Ventures Pvt. Ltd., with the session focusing on creative learning methods, examination preparation and practical techniques to improve recall and answer presentation.
The workshop explored how traditional Geography topics, particularly maps, can be made more engaging and easier to remember through creative learning approaches. The session was led by Dr. Ravi Dharma, Geography educator and former SSC Board moderator, who used his experience of teaching and understanding of the SSC examination pattern to introduce students to alternative ways of revising important geographical information.
Using songs to make Geography maps easier to remember
One of the key highlights of the workshop was a creative technique for remembering important map details of Brazil and India.
Dr. Ravi Dharma demonstrated how students could create a simple song around important map information and use it as a memory aid while preparing for their SSC Board examination. The approach was designed to make map-based revision more engaging while helping students recall key information more easily.
Rather than relying entirely on conventional memorisation, the activity encouraged students to connect geographical information with rhythm, creativity and repetition.
Workshop focuses on SSC Board examination preparation
The session also went beyond Geography concepts and addressed several practical aspects of SSC Board examination preparation.
Students were guided on:
- Structuring answers effectively
- Managing examination time
- Understanding how to approach questions
- Presenting answers with greater clarity
- Using preparation techniques suited to the examination format
- Staying composed while attempting the examination
The emphasis was on helping students understand that success in a board examination depends not only on knowledge of the subject but also on how effectively that knowledge is organised and presented.
Interactive quiz adds to the learning experience
The workshop concluded with an interactive quiz competition, giving students an opportunity to test their understanding of the topics and techniques discussed during the session.
Students who answered questions correctly were presented with important study resource material to support their preparation for the SSC Board examination.
The quiz format also added an interactive element to the workshop, allowing students to participate actively rather than simply listening to a conventional classroom lecture.
Dr. Ravi Dharma highlights answer presentation and time management
Dr. Ravi Dharma, Geography educator and former SSC Board moderator, said that students need to focus not only on learning the subject but also on effectively presenting their knowledge during the examination.
He said the workshop was designed to help students understand answer structuring, time management and maintaining composure during the examination.
According to Dharma, practical examination techniques can give students a clearer approach to preparation and help them feel more confident when appearing for the SSC Board examination.
Target Learning Ventures focuses on meaningful learning
Dilip Gangaramani, Founder Director & CEO, Target Learning Ventures, said the company's objective is to make learning more meaningful, accessible and impactful for students.
He highlighted the role of education in transforming lives and said that Target Learning Ventures has continued to evolve according to the changing needs of learners while retaining its focus on supporting students with knowledge, confidence and practical skills.
He said initiatives such as school workshops take learning beyond textbooks and create experiences that can have a lasting impact on students' educational journeys.
Making examination preparation more engaging
The workshop reflects a broader approach to student learning in which academic concepts are combined with creative activities and practical examination guidance.
For students preparing for board examinations, subjects such as Geography can involve significant amounts of factual information, map work and conceptual understanding. Memory-based techniques, when combined with regular revision and subject knowledge, can provide students with additional ways to organise and recall information.
The use of songs and other creative methods can also make classroom learning more interactive, particularly when students are required to remember multiple geographical locations and details.
At the same time, the workshop's focus on answer writing and time management highlighted the importance of examination skills alongside academic preparation.
Supporting SSC students beyond textbooks
The participation of around 300 students provided an opportunity to take examination preparation into an interactive setting where students could learn, practise and test their understanding.
Through its educational workshops and learning resources, Target Learning Ventures continues to engage with students and educators around academic preparation and learning outcomes.
The Geography workshop at Purushottam High School combined creative memory techniques, examination strategies and interactive learning, giving SSC Board students practical tools that they can incorporate into their preparation ahead of the examinations.
