Students at the Girls Residential School in Ichoda, Adilabad, are setting an example for their peers by cultivating vegetables on a one acre plot on the school premises.
According to reports, there are 270 students in the school and they are cultivating vegetables for the mid-day meals. Aside from that, they have planted guava, mango, and flowering plants on the school premises. The school officials assist students in taking up organic farming.

Need to create more awareness among boys to respect girls: KTR
KT Rama Rao stressed the importance of creating more awareness among young boys to respect girls and women, failing which would be a great disservice to both girls and boys. This would also contribute significantly to the development of a society that values both men and women equally.
The Minister emphasised the importance of holding the gender sensitivity course, which the Education Department introduced into the high school curriculum. This would aid in sensitising children, and because results cannot be obtained overnight, he stated that it must be a continuous effort.
Speaking at a program to felicitate women in journalism here on Tuesday, the Minister said the success of women in all walks of life should be celebrated. This should not be confined to one day in a year but it should be done throughout the year, he said.
