A day of exploration of nature and its biodiversity at Saguna Baug organized for children where the innovative concept of agricultural entrepreneurship is practiced. Through nature walks and conversations in a 55-acre farm with various agricultural activities such as agro forestry, dairy, aquaculture, agro tourism, horticulture, traditional and smart farming, children will be introduced to diverse flora and fauna of the neighbourhood, along with domestic gardening methods and care-taking. The initiative aimed to avail the children a better awareness of our nature and its biological diversity, in the context of metropolitan life.
