The hydroponic vegetable garden at Don Bosco Sneha Bhavan is installed with the help of KPMG global services. In this garden we grow Spinach, Bok Choy, Palak, Kale etc. This initiative has secured their food and avoids high prices induced by the pandemic pandemonium.

By undertaking the hydroponic project we were able to teach the children responsibility, as they learn that it is their job to take care of their plants each day in order for them to be healthy. Previously getting children to eat leafy vegetables was a challenge. After involving the children in the hydroponic project children started to eat more leafy vegetables because they gain a sense of ownership and pride by eating the vegetables grown by them.
