At Dev Gurukul, we are committed to fostering a deep respect for nature and sustainable living through natural and organic farming. Our farming practices emphasize the importance of soil health, biodiversity, and chemical-free agriculture, ensuring that students learn the value of eco-friendly farming methods and their impact on health and the environment.
Students at Dev Gurukul actively participate in organic farming activities, gaining hands-on experience in cultivating crops using traditional and modern sustainable techniques. They learn how to prepare organic compost, plant seasonal crops, manage natural pest control, and understand crop cycles, giving them practical exposure to self-sufficient farming.
Our approach encourages experiential learning, where students not only grow their own food but also develop an appreciation for the farmer’s role in food production. Through this initiative, we aim to instill environmental responsibility and sustainable living habits in young minds.
One of the unique aspects of our farming program is the integration of farm-fresh organic produce into our school’s mess facility. By growing chemical-free vegetables, grains, and herbs on campus, students experience the direct benefits of consuming fresh, homegrown food. This farm-to-table approach not only ensures healthy eating habits but also educates students on the importance of mindful consumption and sustainable agriculture.
