Annal Jyoti in Herbal Garden

Annal Jyoti Boarding School is participating in Herbal Garden Initiative Programme of ICIMOD and other assiting organisations. Annal Jyoti has maintained its garden with the collection of about 100 different species of medicinal plants. The students of class seven are involved in this project. The students plant, grow, promote and water the plants.

Annal Jyoti won all the three awards in the competition organised by ICIMOD to promote herbal garden in schools.

The award ceremony for the ‘Promoting Herbal Gardens in Schools – Best Herbal Garden’ competition was held on 10 December at ICIMOD to mark International Mountain Day (11 December). The competition was jointly organised by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) in collaboration with the Private and Boarding Schools’ Organization in Nepal (PABSON). The competition was launched six months ago on World Environment Day (5 June 2010). The aim of the competition was to familiarise schoolchildren with herbs and their uses.

The competition had three linked components: Herbal Poster with Recipe, Herbal Profile, and Herbal Garden. The first two components were completed earlier in 2010. The final component, the Herbal Garden, was evaluated during three monitoring visits over the six-month competition period, the last of which was on 25 November 2010.
