One Day Kisan Programme Gives Students Real Taste of Farming
Some school students took a break from their classrooms to spend a day working on a farm.
They ploughed fields with bullocks, just like farmers did long ago.
They also planted young rice plants, called paddy, with their own hands.
The farm has a programme called 'One Day Kisan' that lets children experience farming.
Kisan is another word for farmer, so the students got to be farmers for a day.
They saw how farming has changed over time, from old tools to new smart technology.
They also learned about clever watering systems called drip irrigation.
The students saw ostriches, parrots and rabbits and learned how farms and nature are connected.
Experts told them that farming can be a smart and profitable job.
The children said it was a memorable day that taught them more than textbooks could.
Students from Edify World School ploughed fields with bullocks and manually transplanted paddy during Kapil Agri Farm's 'One Day Kisan' programme.
The hands-on farming experience took place at Kapil Agri Farm in Moinabad, near Hyderabad.
The programme introduced children to traditional practices such as bullock cart use, water conservation and paddy transplantation, alongside modern techniques like drip irrigation and smart farming.
Curated exhibits featuring ostriches, parrots and rabbits helped students learn about the link between agriculture, wildlife conservation and environmental sustainability.
Experts encouraged students to view agriculture as a profitable career option, introducing concepts like agri-entrepreneurship and technology-driven farming.
