The guide offered a comprehensive overview of the history and development of GST departments in India. The museum displayed a diverse collection of historical artefacts, including the Manuscript of Ain-i-Akbari, Replica of Amin pillars, and seized metal and stone artefacts. Following the tour, there was a Q&A session that allowed students to ask questions and clarify any doubts regarding the material presented during the visit. The guide and museum staff were highly informative and supportive.
