In the bustling halls of GHS Jakkur, where the spirit of learning thrives, a group of vibrant 8th-grade students embarked on an enlightening journey through Chapter 4 of the Veggie4School Programme: “From Seed to Sprout.” Guided by their curiosity and enthusiasm, students like Abdul Sakib, Akshara, Anjaneya, and Bindushree V delved into the wonders of seeds and plants, eager to explore the mysteries of nature. 

With each lesson, the students discovered connections between their newfound knowledge and the concepts they had learned in their science curriculum. From the intricate anatomy of seeds to the essential requirements for plant growth, they found resonance between classroom teachings and real-world applications, enriching their understanding and appreciation of the natural world. 

As they embarked on the hands-on activity of sowing seeds, excitement filled the air. With eager hands and determined hearts, students like Harshavardhana B, Jyothi, Manjunatha A, and Nandini carefully planted each seed, imbuing them with hopes and dreams of future growth and abundance. The act of sowing seeds became more than just a task; it became a symbol of their commitment to nurturing life and fostering growth. 

Following the seed sowing, students eagerly took up the task of maintaining their plant detective journals.
