Vadodara: The morning bell ring and all 45 elementary school students in the village of Wayadpura from Dabhoi Taluka’s army with enthusiasm.
The school remains closed for more than a year after covid-induced locking, but not a student comes out.
Coronavirus has taken the wind from the midday eating scheme screen offered in government schools to overcome malnutrition but also a student hungry.
The headmaster of Narendra Chauhand, this is probably due to the principle of Narendra Chauhan, which ensures that children get nutritious food, by giving them vegetables that he grows in the school.
“The parents of our students have hardly have income because of the kuncian.
However, there are no familiar ones as my wife and I regularly send vegetables that we grow in the school place to them,” Chauhan said to the Toi.
“I sent vegetables for free.
It’s not only certain food for children but also ensures that the students, for whom the food is a big incentive to come to school, not drop out of school.
Our classroom is full again,” he said.
He started a new kitchen garden project in 2001.
Today, he fostered fenugreek, spinach, carrots, brinches, tomatoes, chili, cauliflower, pumpkin bottle, dove palong and various other vegetables around the school.
Students are also trained to help garden plantations and maintenance.
“When locking was announced, my parents were worried to manage our daily food.
But because of the kitchen park in our school, we continue to get nutritious food every day and my parents keep sending me to school,” said Krishna Rabari, who studied in class 4.
For the past 20 years, along with education, more than 1,000 students have enjoyed nutritious food in this school.
In addition to organizing a party occasionally in the village, Chauhan also ensures that children get the right medical kit and clothing of the money he gets through some generous donors every year.
