🌱 A Meaningful Green Beginning to 2026
Field Visit for Microbiology Students – Learning Beyond the Classroom
Vaishant’s Care Earth Foundation, in collaboration with 'The Mediators', successfully began the New Year 2026 with a meaningful green initiative by organizing an experiential field visit for the students of the Department of Microbiology, SIES College, Sion, on 3rd January 2026.
The students visited Siddhivinayak Farm, Koloshi (Murbad)—a naturally managed farm practicing SPK (Subhash Palekar Krushi Technique)—where learning unfolded not through textbooks, but through soil, crops, microbes, and lived experiences.
The objective of this nature trail was to bridge classroom learning with real-world application by exposing students to the importance of soil health and natural farming practices. Through direct interaction with the farm ecosystem, students gained valuable insights into Soil Microbiology, natural nutrient cycles, and the practical role of microbe-based solutions in organic and natural farming systems.
Discussions and observations at the farm helped students understand how scientific principles translate into sustainable agricultural practices, reinforcing the relevance of Microbiology in addressing today’s environmental and food security challenges.
Beyond academic learning, the visit also offered a refreshing glimpse into authentic village life. Students connected deeply with nature, experienced rural simplicity, and enjoyed traditional, wholesome village food, making the journey both educational and memorable.
This field visit truly reflected the spirit of “learning by experiencing”, inspiring young Microbiologists to look beyond laboratories and explore how their knowledge can contribute meaningfully to sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.
🌿 A green start to the year—rooted in soil, science, and sustainability, reflecting the mission of our NGO to Educate & Sustain.
“Vaishant’s Care Earth Foundation wholeheartedly thanks Mr. Tushar Desai, Vidya Tai Desai & Team who have lovingly nurtured and developed Siddhivinayak Farm, for their invaluable support, guidance, and inspiration throughout this learning experience.”
