Valli writes: After the pandemic we gradually re-started our various programmes of Anisha’s such as Sustainable Organic Kitchen Garden with 30 schools covering 1482 students in 17 panchayats of Hanur Taluk, and the educational support programme for the 37 needy children by providing school fees, uniforms, note books and a summer camp. And we started the farmers training on organic farming, in which 52 farmers, both men and women, participated for two days: one day in-house training and the second day visiting one of the senior organic farmer farms in Tamil Nadu. The seed production and conservation continued with 340 native seed varieties at our seed bank. The "A Food Garden for Every School"-manual was printed in Kannada language for free distribution to Kitchen Garden Project participants, 850 copies were distributed to schools through the education department. Apart from the above programmess, a nature camp for Anisha's youth was held. Colllege students from Mysore, Chamarajanagar and different parts of Karnataka participated. Inspite of a discontinuation for two years due to Covid, Anisha was able to pick up their well-designed programmes to benefit the people in the region. Everything was carried out according to plan, and we achieved the set targets. As an additional activity we conducted residential training for the students of 3 schools at the RC. This was the first training organised directly for government schools, and it was very well received by the teachers and the education department. More schools want to get training and also to visit the seed bank and Anisha farm during the agriculture season to see the demo plots where all the seed varieties are grown. In future we want to support more schools’ students to visit Anisha. We need to print more copies of the KGP manual for distribution to students. The required quantity of vegetable seeds for 1500 KGP participants were produced at the Resource Center. All our planned activities were achieved successfully during the year.
