ORGANIC IDEAS: GATEWAY TO GLOBAL HEALTH



HERB PLANTATION DRIVE


ACTIVITY 1

‘And God said ‘Behold ‘.  I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be for meal.

Students of SMJPS, under the mentorship of the Principal Dr. Racchna Saddi organised a Herb Plantation Drive on 25th October 2019. The aim of the drive was to make the students aware of different kinds of herbs and their usage and medicinal benefits. The students planted the herbs grown in different countries in colourful pots and displayed them. Their gleaming eyes conveyed a very positive message.

Students of classes VII and VIII were divided into four teams representing four countries – India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan. The students collected the data related to different herbs, their usage and benefits from different sources like internet, newspapers devotedly and sincerely. They also collected information on herbs planted in these countries.

Throughout the session all the teams explained the method of planting different herbs, weather required for planting them and their medicinal benefits.

A fruitful, enriching and stimulating day was a great learning experience for the students. At the end of the workshop, questions were raised by the teacher incharge -  Ms. Shailja Sood. The questions were expeditiously answered by the students who were present there as audience.

The whole session was a huge success as one and all present there enjoyed the workshop and acquired a lot of knowledge about different herbs and their usage. Head Mistress Mrs. Geeta Oberai along with ISA coordinators Mrs. Roopali Sinha and Mr. Amit Kumar graced the event with immense enthusiasm and excitement. They all lauded the efforts put by the students for making the whole drive a reverberating success.

The young ignited minds made the whole event very fruitful and received the message of planting different medicinal plants at home and to propagate their learning  to their classmates, friends and family.

“Plants love us
They help us reclaim our health in totality.
Plants are healers.”

 The event concluded with words of appreciation by headmistress Mrs. Geeta Oberai.
