For many children, summer vacations mean easing off the academic train and lazing around, playing games on mobile phones, or spending time on social media. However, the Student Police Cadets (SPCs) of Government Vocational and Higher Secondary School, Vithura, are making creative use of their time so that their holidays are both fun and productive. Their campaign is inventively titled #IAmTheSolution.
The cadets have already harvested fish from the freshwater fish farming being done in a pond under the SPC project at Kannankara in Tholicode grama panchayat. The fish farming, taken up as part of the ‘Oru nellum, oru meenum’ project, saw good yield, leaving the students satisfied with their efforts. The pond where they undertook fish farming is owned by former police officer Nisaruddin. Catla, rohu, and Assam ‘vala’ are some of the fish harvested by the students, under the expert guidance of model farmer Thachancode Manoharan Nair.
