Another Garden-Based Learning Program at AGC Agro Farm: A Resounding Success!

 Amritsar Group of Colleges feels happy  to share the wonderful experience of our recent Garden-Based Learning Program for school students. It was an event filled with excitement, discovery, and hands-on learning. Mrs. Suhinder Kaur, the esteemed wife of the Cabinet Minister of Power and Supply was the Chief Guest of the Programme.

The students were shown how the farm utilized organic waste as fertilizer, how the livestock provided manure for compost, and how the compost was used to fertilize the crops. This helped the students understand the importance of utilizing resources in a sustainable manner.

Next, the students were taken on a tour of the farm and shown the different types of crops that were being grown. The tour was led by an experienced staff who explained the various techniques used to cultivate the crops and the challenges faced by farmers in a changing climate. After the tour, the students were divided into groups and given the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities.

Throughout the program, the students were encouraged to ask questions and share their thoughts and ideas. At the end of the day, certificates were given to the participants. The support and encouragement from AGC's Director Finance, Madam Ragini Sharma demonstrates the institution's commitment to providing students with valuable educational experiences outside the traditional classroom setting. By recognizing the benefits of agricultural visits, she is helping the students connect their academic learning with real-world applications.

The program, in itself, was a success in providing students with a holistic and immersive learning experience. By exploring nature and understanding the importance of sustainable agriculture, the students were empowered to make a positive impact on food security and environmental sustainability in the future.
