Books Donated to the Rural library

These are from Navakarnataka book store in Bangalore. Bought these for children as gifts to those who excelled in situdying, or some school competition etc.

Class in session Dec 2012.

This is almost at the end of the School year and before they begin the preparatory classes. I made the students come to the board and chalk out the solutions to the problems. Here I can determine if the kids can figure it out by themselves or not.

Post planting trees - following season.

Spathodea trees.

Planting trees in 2012 in the school vicinity.

Students planting some saplings I bought from the Nursery in Bangalore.

Apparently - due to lack of guards or a proper fencing - the trees did not flourish, and in the process I must have lost a few saplings by now.

This was a good learning experience - although the school had a compound, it did not mean that the trees would come up.

Now, I have about 6 trees in all - coming a few centimeters high.

This is the 2012 SSLC Batch students going about school work.

They are doing Algebra and Progressions.Students get to come to the board and figure out the problems after I have taught them.

Planting some coconut and fruit trees.

As part of an Eco drive - I got some coconut seedlings from the University of Agricultural Sciences in Bangalore and got them planted.

These are jack fruit, and other shade bearing trees. Approximate time for them to mature is about 2 -3 years. dsfdsfdsf
