Isha Vidhya actively promotes organic farming to produce vegetables for its schools kitchens. Isha Vidhya's school coordinator who looks after school kitchens including procurement of equipment, grocery and vegetable requirements continuously strives in enhancing his knowledge about organic cultivation, by the way of attending talks, seminars and workshops, reading books, maintaining home garden and working with all the Isha Vidhya schools in setting up the process.
Recently a gardeners' meet was organized by Isha Vidhya at Erode school in which gardeners from Dhamapuri, Vanavasi, Cuddalore and Erode schools participated. Mr. Senthil Kumar and Mr. Suresh led the program, sharing information about organic cultivation.
The guests shared methods of making natural fertilizers and pesticides. School students too, actively participated in the program to get into the habit of going organic and understand its importance and benefits.
Later in the day, the participants went to the agricultural exhibition held in Erode city.
Creating awareness among the students and staff of Isha Vidhya about organic farming was a great experience for everyone involved. The students loved it, and the co-ordinators learnt and appreciated the meet.
We are sure that the Isha Vidhya students, as the next generation of environmentally responsible citizens will have the right perspective and care for the gardening and agricultural lands, with the knowledge that they gained from these meets!
