Students from classes
VI-VIII of St.Mary’s School Dwarka prepared manure in the school.
This was done in a group.
It took approximately fifty days for the manure to be prepared. The manure was
made with help of kitchen waste, dry leaves, worms, sand and peels of fruits
and vegetables. There were different stages involved in process of preparing.
Firstly the sand was poured into the pit, followed by dry leaves and worms. After the manure was packed into cloth bags made from old bed sheets and sarees. Each recycled bag contained half a kg of manure. Finally, the students and teachers went to market to sell manure. The students went to the nearby malls residential societies and nurseries. They advertised the product to the shopkeepers, customers and passersby. They told them about the process of manufacturing and also sold it enthusiastically. It was a great experience for the students, as well as for the teachers as it was a first for both.
