The Kitchen Garden of MES Indian School yielded its first fruits, much to the delight of staff and students who embarked on this unique venture in October.

Came as a part of clean air drive, the Kitchen Garden was a joint endeavour of MES with ‘Nammude Adukkalathottam,’ a Doha-based Indian expatriates-run farming unit, affiliated to the Indian Cultural Centre. 

The school initiated this special programme with an objective of instilling eco-consciousness among its students, and stay connected to mother earth.

The proceeds of the harvest will be donated to charity for noble causes. ‘It is heartening to see the produce of the kitchen garden speaks volumes about students’ level of interest in sustainable development and preservation of green and clean environment’, complimented the principal officiating, Hameeda Kadar.  

Kavitha Rajan, Sreekala, Jency George and Nilu Sudheesh were the teachers in charge of Kitchen Garden in their respective sections of the school.
