Residential Bridge Camps are one of the initiatives ran by Vidya Poshak, aimed at giving scholarship students hands on training in functional English, confidence, personal development and character-building.  To understand what a camp was like, I was fortunate to spend a few days at the Murudeshwar Camp, held at the scenic coastal location of Murudeshwar, near Bhaktal.  The actual Camps team have the offical camp photos, however, I was able to visit the local tourist / pilgrim attraction of a 100ft Shiva statue and 249ft Gopura (tall gate).  They are located just ahead of the Shiva Temple, built on the location where Ravana placed the holy 'atma lingam'.
