[DRAFT]

We prepare organic pesticides from all the locally available plants along with cow urine to fight
the pests on the crops. Together with it we prepare our own fertilizers with the mixture of
uprooted unwanted grasses, madhyam and water in our compost pits to be utilized on our crops.

Very often the crops are attacked by pests and so on. But the hard work and the time given to
such important tasks never fail to bear sweet fruits. Hence, the saying, ―As you sow, so shall you
reap‖ goes quite relevant in our case. We continue to learn and adopt new methods each time we
work. There are positive remarks from everyone that consume our organic products or simply
when they see the hard work of our students bloom.
Hence, as long as I am a part of this institution I shall keep encouraging the school to continue
with such activities which also contributes in skill development and to promote organic farming
with great zeal and dedication, contributing towards making Sikkim a pesticides free state and
maintaining a sound and healthy body.

Social Inclusion or Community Mobilization
Along with the school fraternity, we also have the community people who tirelessly render help
in the working and the development of the school whenever needed. We have the school
management committee, Self Help Groups, panchayats, parents, different departments like
Agriculture, Horticulture, Forest, NGOs, spices boards, ICAR, etc. They come forward to
volunteer and help in any form of kind, physical help, and donations which goes towards the
welfare and upliftment of the school. They also sometimes cook Mid Day Meals for the students
whenever possible.
