My Two months Journey of Lycee Agricole Beaulieu, Auch, France from G.B. Pant University, Pantnagar, India

Two months ago, I arrived in France at Toulouse–Blagnac Airport, travelling from New Delhi to begin my Service Civique volunteer mission. This moment marked not just a geographical transition, but the beginning of a deeply enriching human, cultural, and professional journey.

I was warmly welcomed by my tutor, Mme Chantal Desprats, whose kindness and guidance immediately set a positive tone for my mission. The following day, during my first visit to Lycée Agricole Beaulieu – Lavacant, Auch, we discussed my objectives, expectations, and fields of contribution—laying the foundation for a meaningful and structured civic engagement.

1. Research, Reporting & Communication
Developing comparative technical studies, preparing professional reports, and presenting findings to professors and students significantly enhanced my analytical thinking, documentation quality, and professional communication.
