Farming activity- An important addition to regular school curriculum | Ashita Nath | TEDxICTMumbai

In this talk, Ashita Nath - Co-founder of the Good Harvest School talks throws light on the efforts of women in farming which go unrecognised and importance of farming practices done by school students. Ashita Nath is an Educator and Co-founder of Good Harvest School.
In 2016, she quit her job to start India’s first all–girls agricultural based primary school in Uttar Pradesh. The school gives free green education to young rural girls and introduces them to new-age agriculture. The school being nestled amidst farm fields provides ample of opportunities to learn from the natural surroundings and breaks the monotony of being restricted within four walls of the classroom. Basic education, agriculture lessons and co-curricular activities form an integral part of the curriculum. She has more than 10 years of experience in teaching and she has been involved in various social projects including working with street and slum children. Currently, she is heading The Good Harvest School and preparing rural girls to stand abreast with rest of the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
