This October, 575 school children attend workshops on organic and Vedic natural farming conducted by Parampara at its Bharatiya Vedic Krishi Parampara (BVKP) farm at Kairambedu Village, Guduvancheri.
The project aims to revive traditional Indian farming practices, which are ecologically sustainable and enriching, and based on holistic knowledge and understanding of natural processes.
Students from Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan, T. Nagar and Anna Gems Science Park School, Kotturpuram, participated in the ‘farming is fun’ workshops conducted by the organisation.
Four workshops were held in the month, where children interacted with BVKP farmers and learnt about aspects of natural farming and the challenges in agriculture today.
The children were taught the process of making and the use of herbal pesticides, making Panchagavya (a cow-product based growth stimulant and immunity booster for plants) and the techniques of making soil naturally fertile.
Children also had hands on experience on farming activities like transplanting paddy saplings and allied farm activities like weaving and winnowing, feeding the cows and taking care of them, said a press release.
Educational Institutions/ others interested in getting this farming experience can contact Bharatiya Vedic Krishi Parampara at 24991516/ 9600178324.
