In the heart of Lingarajapuram, where the echoes of learning reverberate through the corridors, GKMPS Lingarajapuram stands as a bastion of education and enlightenment. Within its walls, students of the 6th and 7th grades embarked on an exhilarating journey through Chapter 4 of the Veggie4School Programme: “From Seed to Sprout.” 

Guided by their devoted teacher, Mr. Mahesh, and under the esteemed leadership of Headmistress Mrs. Sumathi, a vibrant array of students, including Afsaparveen, Aishwarya C, Albert Raj, and Anushree D, eagerly delved into the wonders of seeds and plants. 

The seed germination test proved to be a highlight of the workshop, captivating the students’ imaginations as they witnessed the miraculous transformation of seeds into sprouts. With each passing day, their excitement grew, fueled by the anticipation of new life emerging from the earth. 

The act of sowing seeds in growing pots became a moment of pride and accomplishment for the students of GKMPS Lingarajapuram. With gentle hands and determined hearts, they carefully planted each seed, imbuing them with hopes and dreams of a bountiful harvest to come. 

As the growing pots found their place in the school corridors, a sense of unity and purpose permeated the air. Headmistress Mrs. Sumathi’s words of praise echoed through the halls, recognizing the students’ dedication to learning and their commitment to nurturing new life. 

Underneath the watchful gaze of the teachers, students like Charan R, Deepika R, Hanumanth S, and Lavanya H eagerly tended to their growing pots, ensuring that each seed received the care and attention it deserved. With each tender touch and each drop of water, they nurtured the seeds of knowledge planted within them, blossoming into stewards of the environment and champions of growth. 

Unified Preferences, Shared Knowledge
