Getting 97 students who knew absolutely nothing about agriculture to cultivate vegetables is no mean task. But the Government Higher Secondary School at Kayanna, near Perambra, in Kozhikode district made the impossible possible and was rewarded for it in the best way. The school is the recipient of the award of the Agriculture department for the best educational institution in the State to adopt organic farming.
“We had guidance from the local Krishi Bhavan. But we did it mostly through trial and error. And the whole village supported us,” said M.M. Subeesh, NSS programme coordinator of the school, who spearheaded the activities.
