Educational Field Visit – Grade VIII

As part of the Kaushal Bodh – Vocational Education Programme, 145 Grade VIII students, accompanied by eight teachers, visited the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Virinjipuram, on 8 July 2026. Dr. Ramasamy, Assistant Professor, introduced students to hydroponics, explaining its systems, benefits, and differences from traditional farming. The visit included a hands-on activity where students prepared germination beds by spreading paddy straw and sowing soaked maize seeds, helping them apply classroom concepts in a practical setting. Students also explored the centre and interacted with farm animals, making the experience engaging and enjoyable. The visit enhanced their understanding of sustainable agriculture and encouraged experiential learning beyond the classroom.
