| Bhoomi ka Campaign was started in our school in collaboration with Living farms. This project involved orientation of students towards safe and organic food followed by development of kitchen garden in the school. These small steps towards greener future have started yielding fruits. “Since the fruit of your own hardwork is the sweetest”, so students enjoy watching the plants grow whose seeds were sown by them. It would definitely help in increasing consciousness about conservation of environment as well as health hazards associated with agrochemicals in students. |
