It was an emotional moment for children with physical disabilities from different special schools in and around Bengaluru on Sunday, as the University of Agricultural Sciences-Bengaluru organised a showcase of forthcoming Krishi Mela at its GKVK campus.
The idea was conceived mainly to allow these children to get a feel of the popular farm event without any disturbance as there will be a huge crowd when the mela begins.
The event saw 230 children in the age group of 8 to 18 getting a first-hand feel of live demonstration plots, animal husbandry, and farm museum, among others.
“It was really an emotional moment for the students and their parents/mentors as well as us,” UAS-B vice-chancellor S.V. Suresha told The Hindu. Though several of them were in wheelchairs, their enthusiasm knew no bounds as they went around with the help of student volunteers and faculty of the UAS-B.
The “special visitors” to the university were particularly thrilled to see a large plot with sunflowers in full bloom.
Sign language was used by experts from these schools to explain the concepts of farming.
