Before sharing about vegetable farming, I would like to show my gratitude towards my school as it has been focusing not only on the theoretical course of study but also on a practical study. This has been helping us a lot. In our course of OBTE, we have been learning about farming since grade VII. We were also taken to a farm visit during grade VII which now became useful for us to do farming ourselves. In the current course also we have many contents related to farming so our subject teacher, Ms. Roma decided to give us practical work based on farming. We, students of grade VIII did provide a lot of effort in this practical work. We all were given a specific plot. The plot we were given was very bushy and dirty. At first, we cleaned it up and made it suitable for farming. But unfortunately, our term break started and the plot we were given turned to the same condition as it was in the first. So, we had to clean it up once again. When we completed the cleaning we planted corianders and green leafy vegetables in group cooperation. Everyone performed their task properly without leaving any loopholes. This practical task helped us learned a lot of new things about farming. The major thing we learned was cooperation among friends. We are really very thankful to the school and as well as to our subject teacher, Ms. Roma, who provided us with this opportunity. Our main concept of this practical study was to provide the school with green leafy vegetables so that it doesn’t have to invest in buying the vegetables. Along with that, it accommodated us with practical knowledge about farming. And now it got some green leafy vegetables to cook. If such experiential work is applied to every sector of Nepal, then with no doubt Nepal will be able to catch a new content of farming. Also, practical work is a very interesting job and a good lesson with real life experience. Hence, the concept of vegetable farming was quite awesome and motivating.
