On September 3rd, as part of the “Bagless Day” initiative, Grade 8 students at Standard Kids School took an enriching trip to the GKVK Horticulture Department. The objective was to offer the students a hands-on learning experience, allowing them to break away from traditional classroom routines and dive into the fascinating world of agriculture. The field trip proved to be an eye-opening experience, sparking curiosity and interest in subjects related to soil science and agricultural chemistry.

The visit to GKVK’s Horticulture Department provided the students with a unique opportunity to explore key concepts in agriculture, especially the chemistry behind soil and plant growth. Engaging with experts, students learned how soil composition, nutrients, and sustainable farming techniques play a vital role in agricultural success. The interactive learning experience made complex scientific ideas more relatable and accessible to the young learners, fueling their interest in environmental sciences.

The trip was not only educational but also highly enjoyable for the students. Being able to observe and engage with real-life agricultural practices outside the classroom brought learning to life in a way that textbooks cannot. The “Bagless Day” initiative continues to reinforce the importance of experiential learning, and this visit to GKVK was a memorable step in helping students connect classroom knowledge with real-world applications.
