VNGS Madipakkam - Field Trip
Students of VNGS Madipakkam visited
the Farm Guru on 7.3.2020. It was a day of opportunity
to experience the farm in all its rustic glory and to live the farm life,
albeit for a day.
The open expanse,
fresh air with the smell of the soil, the beauty of lush green paddy fields and
the songs from the birds in the trees was an experience of its kind to the
students. They spent chasing butterflies and watching tadpoles, fishing,
experiencing the warmth of the sun and
the cool splash of the water from the well. As they walked through the paddy
fields and the plantation, the smell of hay and of flowers that bloomed that
day amazed them. They loved the taste of the tomatoes they plucked from the plant and the smell of
the radish with it leaves.
Apart from the
hands on experience, students also learnt about the stages of farming, starting
from ploughing, drip irrigation, sowing, transplanting,weeding, harvesting and
threshing through a session. The 'life of a farmer, his struggles and the
solutions' were the focus of the day in the session. The ride on the
bullock cart and tractor was a memorable experience said our students.
"The essence of
education is to pave way for students to live responsibly in a
community".
