Setting up of school nutrition garden by using advance technology of nutribed inbuilt with subsurface irrigation system.

1. SCHOOL NUTRITION
GARDEN
Enhancing students knowledge on nutritional aspects of vegetables & making them
environmentally conscious.
Pilot Project Title

2. PROJECT SYNOPSIS
To promote nutrition-based approaches in
Children and To inculcate a lifelong skill of
growing own vegetables and fruits through
Nutrition garden. Nutrition garden is good for
childrens health and education, and also it is
good for learning they are highly practical and
a direct form of education apart from practical
skills in agriculture and horticulture gardens
are a living laboratory for the study of
environmentalissues and life science. It
improves the envoirment. It will empower
student to explore environmental concept and
action beyond the confines of a syllabus or
curriculum. While everyone , everywhere,
asserts the importance of “learning to live
sustainably”
Thematic area: learning a lifelong skill, shape the
behavioral pattern of the student,
green’ the school and reduce air pollution.”

3. PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OBJECTIVE:
a) To give students first-hand experience with nature and gardening
b) To enhance the knowledge of children's regarding nutritional aspect of vegetables and harmful effect of junk food
c) To help in addressing malnutrition and micro nutrient deficiencies by consumption of freshly grown vegetables
NEED & BENEFITS OF SNG:
1) Good for learning
2) Essential for children's health
3) Improve environment
4) Good for the earth
5) Good for child's well being
6) Increase confidence in student
LEARNING FROM SNG:
i) Teaching students that a Nutrition Garden can actually be set up anywhere, even in a school in a crowded urban
area
ii) Teaching student that, with a few exceptions, every part of the vegetable or fruit can be eaten
iii) Teaching student to think out the box and find a way
iv) Teaching student to work actively in their school Eco-Club

5. PROJECT ACTIVITYS
Today with the rapid rate of urbanization, many school do
not have free space to grow vegetables etc. For them there
is an effective alternative that is simple and practical way
i.e. Gardening in “NUTRIBED” Such a HDPE container
inbuilt with advance technology of subsurface irrigation
technique so it has a many benefits for school in urban
areas as they help to “green” the school and reduce air
pollution. Other major benefits are student learn to grow
vegetables in nutribed, understanding that a large piece of
land is not essentially required for this. Organic garbage
such as school scraps anything that decays, can be
processed into compost in such containers. Students will
learn to think creatively and out of the box, understand
that a garden can be effectively created everywhere. The
greenery will definitely beautiful School and make it a
visually more appealing place. It will enable school children
to practice “intensive” gardening through maximum
utilization of limited space. It will provide an opportunity to
practice “intercropping” (I.e. planting a variety of plants in
one container) which ensure the health of plants due to
diversity. Such gardens “make use of unused school
spaces” (vacant staircases, terrace, compound wall, school
entrance sites, etc.)

7. ADVANTAGES OF NUTRIBED INBUILT WITH SUBSURFACE IRRIGATION SYSTEM
 Protect crop from bad whether condition
 Better germination , plant growth, root growth, improve productivity and quality of produce
 Crop can be growing throughout the year best for high value vegetable crop.
 Save up to 15% to 25% of water over drip/Sprinkler irrigation.
 Save up to 35% to 45% of energy over drip irrigation.
 Save up to 70% of fertilizer cost over drip irrigation.
 Save up to 50% of weeding cost over drip irrigation.
 Save up to 50% to 60% of labor cost over drip irrigation.
 Save up to 90% of maintenance cost over drip irrigation.
 No damage from rates, rodents, dogs, insects etc.
Subsurface irrigation pipe will serve more than 15 year and will reduce water consumption up to 40% for Nutrition gardens .
