GARDENING AND VERMICOMPOSTING
FIG-20
Need of the Community :
Human civilization has disturbed the ecological balance so much that
there is a need to inculcate habits of gardening among students which
can help them in not only maintaining the landscaping for the beauty of
their house, but school and community gardens also. Students will learn
to appreciate nature by taking up this activity. Maintaining a kitchen
garden is a very good physical exercise and hobby as well as a source of
entertainment also. Hence, taking up this activity will be the accomplish-
ment of the goals of work education in true sense.
Waste Management is a crucial problem in India. Organic waste which is
biodegradable can easily be used for Vermicomposting which can be
further used for the purpose of gardening and agriculture. Household
waste can be easily managed by this process.
