Headmaster Mohammad Shahid has been working hard to create his garden on the campus for over a decade.
Spread over the 5,500 square-foot area you will find over 300 species of plants.
"I initially started growing plants in the school as a hobby," Shahid said. "Later, gram pradhans and villagers supported the initiative. Students have remained the biggest support. Under my supervision, they have worked hard to nurture the plants. It is also a great learning process for them and they enjoy it."
Sahid even travels the 2.5 miles to the school on weekends and holidays to tend to the garden.

Sunflower, rose, jasmine and a variety of seasonal flowers add color to the campus.
The garden also attracts bees and wildlife.
