Amidst the bustling streets of Kavalbyrasandra lies GKMPS Kavalbyrasandra, a sanctuary of learning where young minds blossom and flourish. In the 6th and 7th grades, a diverse array of students, including Abhinaya K, Abhishek Kumar, Ambika B, Arshiya, and Baganna, embarked on an enlightening journey through Chapter 4 of the Veggie4School Programme: “From Seed to Sprout.” 

Under the guidance of their dedicated teacher, Mr. Darbar, and the nurturing leadership of Headmistress Mrs. Jeeja Bai Shindhe, these eager learners delved into the wonders of seeds and plants with boundless enthusiasm and curiosity. As they embarked on their educational odyssey, they discovered the transformative power hidden within the tiniest of seeds. 

The story of the tiny cumin and the mighty coco de mer captivated their imaginations, sparking a flurry of questions and discussions. With wide-eyed wonder, they pondered the miraculous potential of every seed, realizing that each one held the key to new life and growth. As the Garden Gurus affirmed their queries, a newfound sense of empowerment and wonder ignited within the students’ hearts. 

As they ventured into the practical aspects of the chapter, the students eagerly took charge of filling the pots with soil, their hands eager to connect with the earth’s nurturing embrace. With keen eyes and nimble fingers, they carefully sowed the seeds, following the sage guidance of their mentors. With each gentle pat of the soil and each drop of water, a sense of pride and accomplishment washed over them, knowing that they were nurturing life with their own hands.
