School!

Govt. School, Kurivundi, Nanjangud Taluk, Mysore District.

On a trip into the Cotton farming belt around Mysore, came by this charming school. The students were having a science exhibition.

Turbines, water harvesting systems, water storage & sprinkling systems for dry rain-fed areas.....wonderful little experiments that reflected keen minds, a science teacher's involvement in his students... and the fact that most experiments were looking to solve local contextual problems. More on that in a separate blog post ...but what really caught my attention was the beautiful charming faces of the happy children...

Everyone wanted to get into the picture - and getting so many excited faces together into the frame made these images come alive!
