Themes	Subthemes	Quotations	Source
Theory into practice	Practicing informal interviews	We interviewed many people, and we were doing observation. They told us their thoughts, aspirations, and pain points	Case 1, student 5
	Practicing informal interviews	We split up into 2 groups for the interviews. Each person we interviewed had differences but their main and common problem was the lack of water during summer	Case 1, Student 1
	Practicing PRA	While we were working on the PRA we understood more about the village and the inter-relation of issues they faced	Case 2, Student 3
	Practicing PRA	We were focused on identifying an issue that needs to be addressed and implemented. I had also prepared questions on my own pertaining to the issue they faced	Case 2, Student 3
	Synthesizing the work done	We were happy that we had discovered the knots of our issue and now we have to discuss and implement an effective solution	Case 2, Student 3
Learning beyond academics	Team work	Planned to split into three. One team will go for observation. Another for interview and another for mapping	Case 1, Student 6
	Team work	The previous night we sat together discussing what the final report would need and if we have enough pictures and videos	Case 2, Student 3

	Learn other things	We didn’t know many types of trees. We had to use google lens for that	Case 1, Student 5
	Learn other things	As we didn't have any knowledge about Odiya and Ho, and even Hindi we know only to some extent, it was really a tough time for us. We thought of doing pictorial representation to people by showing the pictures in our mobile	Case 2, Student 2
Students learning from villagers	Experiencing village hardships	[We experienced] The pain and struggle of living in a remote village without basic needs like water. We should practice to use water economically so that it won't get over my the mid day	Case 1, Student 6
	Experiencing village hardships	I spoke with the people. Many had lot of problems, but in spite of all the problems, they told they were happy. It amazed me	Case 1, student 3
	Experiencing village hardships	We were out of electricity and water and the experience was stifling to say the least	Case 2, Student 4
	Emotions	It was hard to believe that 62 year old women danced like a 12 year old child	Case 2, Student 1
	Emotions	Today we had a real life memorable experience. [We] Faced real life situations. Both likable and unlikable	Case 1, Student 6
