“Nurture to Nourish” is the new initiative taken by Nandri to promote organic farming and domestic gardens to meet the vegetable needs of our families in the villages as well as in the cities. By farming organically we nurture nature and encourage soil fertility. To promote this, we teach the children the importance of organic farming.
We have 40 children attending our study classes twice a week and as part of this curriculum we also teach them organic farming. We encourage the children to start their own vegetable gardens in their respective homes. We aim to =educate the children to understand the value of organic agriculture.
Making small vegetable gardens in their own homes without using chemical fertilizers will teach them a valuable life skill to help feed themselves and also creates an awareness of caring for our world. The students in turn bring awareness to their families of the benefits of organic farming for both themselves and the community.
Teaching the children how to make Panchagavya. This is a mixture mainly of cow dung and cow urine used to fertilize the fields. It is organic and promotes plant growth.
