Greetings

Training sessions in utility and aesthetic horticulture is based on psychic wellbeing as well as health care and revitalizing system of the new millennium. The present life in the fast land keeps every person off the track due to the enhanced rate of stress and anxiety in day to day life. The distorted perception in a smaller degree clouds the psyche of every person and destabilizes the being from the poise and equilibrium. The feeling of clumsiness borne out of such moments pervade the psychic environ and makes a person miserable. Be it school children or the executive of a corporate office, everyone is subjected to different shades of psychological pressure and the life becomes a burden instead of a joy and celebration. Further the prevailing life style put the human being in turmoil rather than positive development. Changing food habits brings a great effect in human wellbeing. Our training programmes emphasise the importance of sustainable wellbeing which can be practised using sustainable gardening and farming techniques and thereby imbibing sustainable life style.

Farming is a way of living and it is closely playing a significant role in our lifestyle directly or indirectly. Farming techniques can be adopted based on the nature of land and various other factors. The basic concept of farming can be imbibed by understanding the various dimension of science related to soil, climate, water, engineering, management etc. Farming is a scientific art and if we are strong in the basic science of farming, the art can be performed without any hurdle. Gradually farming can be converted to business model with working out budgeting and finance. Our lecture is based on the above said information in a holistic approach by providing information on various agriculture practices.
