🌿 Learning Beyond Classrooms | Ankuran Foundation at Gosaidanga Village 🌿

Teachers from Ankuran Foundation visited Gosaidanga Village to conduct an interactive science session with tribal students on Dicot and Monocot Plants.

Through real plant samples, observation, and discussion, students learned how to identify important characteristics such as:

🌱 Number of seed leaves
🌿 Leaf venation pattern
🌾 Root system
🌸 Floral parts
🌻 Examples from their surroundings

The session helped students connect textbook biology with plants they see in daily life. At Ankuran, we believe that science becomes meaningful when children can see, touch, observe, ask, and explore.

💚 Taking science to every child, every community.
