Participants experienced hands-on learning through direct involvement in transplanting paddy seedlings, thereby understanding the labor, skill, and ecological balance involved in farming. As part of the programme, students also visited a local farmer’s vegetable farm. They interacted directly with the farmer and conducted an interview to understand modern and traditional farming techniques, challenges faced by farmers, crop management practices, and sustainable agricultural methods. This interaction provided real-life insights into agricultural livelihoods and strengthened the students’ understanding of the importance of farming in ensuring food security.
