Solving highly complex problems requires that students have both fundamental skills (reading, writing, and math) and 21st century skills (teamwork, problem solving, research gathering, time management, information synthesizing, utilizing high tech tools).

“As our global population grows to a projected nine billion people by 2050, the non-agriculture population has little to no understanding of the complexities involved with sustaining a viable agriculture system” .
Without the basic knowledge of how all aspects of agriculture are linked together and the science and technology that makes up the worlds food system how can we as a society sustain our world food system?
Our humble effort to prepare an agriculturally literate population was the spark to take our children to a paddy filed to enjoy harvesting on 7th October 2016..
Before I end this report, let me share a gist of the third episode  of our annual function Sparsham - 3....Sparsham of Mother Nature....
അമ്മയെന്ന സത്യത്തെക്കാള്‍ തെളിഞ്ഞ സത്യം ഈ ഭൂമുഘത്ത് മറ്റൊന്നില്ല. അമ്മിഞ്ഞപ്പാല്‍ ചുരത്തുന്ന അമ്മ. മറ്റൊരു പരിവേഷത്തില്‍ അമ്മ ജന്മ നാടായി മാറുന്നു. അമ്മയെന്ന സ്നേഹം പ്രക്രുടിയായ് പരിണമിക്കുന്നു. മഹാകവി വള്ളത്തോള്‍ പാടിയ പോലെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ മാതാവിനെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ മാതാവിനെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ വരേണ്യയെ
വന്ദിപ്പിന്‍ വരദയെ
ഇനിയൊരു മഹായുദ്ധമുണ്ടെങ്കില്‍ തീര്‍ച്ചയായും അത് വട്ടിവരണ്ടുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന ജലസ്രോതസ്സിന്നു വേണ്ടിയായിരിക്കും, ജലത്തിന് വേണ്ടിയായിരിക്കും.
അത്തരമൊരു ലോകമഹായുദ്ധം ഉണ്ടാവതരിക്കാന്‍ നമ്മുടെ കുഞ്ഞുമനസ്സുകള്‍ പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥിക്കുന്നു. അതിന്റെ കാരണം ആരായുന്നു.
അവര്‍ സംഘം ചേര്‍ന്ന് പാടുന്നു...
പുഴകളെ..
നദികളെ...
ഞങ്ങളുണ്ട് നിന്റെ തോഴര്‍....
അവരുടെ കണ്ധത്തില്‍ നിന്നുയരുന്ന ഈ വിപ്ലവഗാനം തീര്‍ച്ചയായും സമൂഹമനസസാക്ഷി ക്കൊരു തിരിച്ചറിവ് പകര്‍ന്നു നല്‍കും.
നമുക്കും പാടാം
ഉയരണം പുതിയൊരു സംകാരമിവിടെ ഈ
വസുധയെ നാളെക്കായ്‌ കരുതിവെക്കാന്‍  
ഉയരണം പുതിയൊരു സംകാരമിവിടെ ഈ
വസുധയെ നാളെക്കായ്‌ കരുതിവെക്കാന്‍
