Govt high school uses hydroponics to grow food for midday meals
1 2 Mangaluru: A govt high school in Badaga Yekkar, which has a space constraint to have its own kitchen garden for midday meals, found a new way to grow food through hydroponics technique. Hydroponics is a method of growing crops in water mixed with nutrients. On a trial basis, they started with amaranth and lady finger and are planning to add more crops based on the success. "The 15-year-old school with over 138 students faced land constraints. The total land is around 50 cents, and we have fully covered the available land, including a small kitchen garden, where produce is used for Akshara Dasoha (midday meal programme). However, the produce was insufficient to cater to our midday meal, and to increase the produce, we had no land. Therefore, I decided to try hydroponics to address the shortage," said Anith Kumar, a teacher at the school. The initiative was kicked off with help from the eco club led by Ramya K, a teacher at the school. In the available land at the school, they have grown curry leaves, spinach and black pepper. The yield supports the midday meal programme or Akshara Dasoha. Kumar told TOI: "We started the process a few days ago, and results so far are encouraging. It was launched as a part of World Environment Day celebrations. The advantage of this technique is that it requires less space and uses 80% less water. There are no diseases to the crop, unlike those grown in soil, and the product output is higher," said Kumar, adding that pesticides are not used to grow the crop. Currently, they have sowed amaranth crop in two trays and lady finger in one. Kumar said they are expecting the amaranth crop to be ready in another 45 days. He said as they are doing it for the first time, it will be a trial-and-error method. The technique requires major nutrients of potassium, calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur and other micronutrients. The pH level should be maintained strictly while preparing the solution, Kumar said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Telangana govt to host event to bring farmers, farm research bodies together
Telangana Government is planning to organise a conclave of the Hyderabad based Central and State scientific organisations working on agriculture research to have an outreach programme with the farming community, informed Agriculture secretary M. Raghunandan Rao on Thursday (June 12, 2025). Addressing farmers and scientists at a one-day workshop on 'Environmentally Benign Farming Practices for Farmers: Fermented Organic Manure from Anaerobic Digestion and Pheromones for Pest Control' organised by the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) here, Mr. Rao said about 25 such organisations are researching diverse crops like rice, millets and also in meat, poultry, bio-manures, biogas etc., are working from the capital region. The government wants farmers of the State to know about the four to five key products being offered by these organisations in the planned exhibition, where farmers can also interact with the scientists. Proposed to be held over a period of three days in two months time, it is to help farmers enhance their incomes and livelihoods by going for eco-friendly measures in agriculture and in livestock maintenance. Action plan to disburse Rythu Bharosa ready The annual financial assistance of ₹6,000 per acre ('Rythu Bharosa') will soon be released for all the farmers, and an action plan is ready for the same. The government has also decided to participate in centrally sponsored agriculture schemes for improving soil health, mechanisation, drip irrigation, digitisation, and promoting oil seeds production with a budget allocation of ₹1,600 crore after a gap of five years, said Mr. Rao. CNG plant using paddy residue Another interesting concept in the offing is the proposal to set up agri-based industries using biomass and others on lands belonging to the agriculture department with CNG plants likely to take off first using paddy residue. The secretary has urged farmers to avoid overuse of fertiliser as it would affect the soil health and not to burn paddy residue. 'Let us not follow Punjab and Haryana, where soil health has taken a beating due to the excess usage of fertilisers. Burning of paddy residue will lead to atmospheric pollution and other hazards. We will soon have a plant to make use of it,' he said. Earlier, CSIR-IICT director D. Srinivas Reddy explained about the institute's initiatives towards helping farmers and promoting green energy like the production of biogas using vegetable waste, bio-manure, and others. Senior scientists A Gangagni Rao and B.V. Subba Reddy participated. About 300 participants were later shown the pilot plants for organic farming, anaerobic gas lift reactor technology, accelerated anaerobic composting technology, and the pheromone application eco-friendly pest management that traps insects/pests.

Govt clears Rs 215cr lifescience project in Thonnakkal
Thiruvananthapuram: The state govt has approved a Rs 215-crore investment proposal by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research – National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST) at the Bio360 Life Science Park in Thonnakkal, Thiruvananthapuram. An order issued by the industries department on June 7 also permits the allotment of 10 acres of land to CSIR-NIIST on a lease of up to 90 years at no financial cost. The allotted land falls within the area designated for the second phase of development at the Bio360 Life Science Park, developed by Kerala Lifescience Industries Park Pvt Ltd (KLIP), a state-incorporated company promoting lifescience industries. The approval follows a proposal submitted in Sept 2024 by the KLIP managing director to establish a CSIR-NIIST Centre for Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. The initiative includes a pilot plant for solar-aided hydrogen production from wastewater, supported by the department of science and technology and the state govt. It also proposes a bio-manufacturing hub under a Rs 115-crore joint submission by CSIR-NIIST and KLIP to the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (Birac). Additional components include a production facility for bio-polymers and bio-based alternatives to plastic and animal leather, funded by CSIR and private industry partners. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Plans also involve creating a manufacturing and standardisation hub for Ayush products in collaboration with the ministry of Ayush and industrial stakeholders. A regional resource development centre focused on rubber, coir and spices is also proposed, to be implemented under public-private partnership models and supported by govt schemes. The land allotment falls under the unified industrial land and building allotment and disposal regulations introduced in 2024 for Kinfra and KSIDC. These rules allow leasing a minimum of 10 acres for projects with investments above Rs 100 crore, for up to 90 years, subject to conditions. The investor must bring in Rs 100 crore within three years, with employment generation in line with the investment scale. All allotments require approval from the State Industrial Land Allotment Committee. If the investment exceeds Rs 300 crore, additional incentives may be granted by a high-power committee led by the chief secretary, as per the state's industrial policy. This marks one of the largest projects in the park's second phase, with timelines and employment targets set to guide its progress.
