At Rachol's seminary, people learn life values on paddy farm

GETTING DIRTY

Over 100 youth got their hands and clothes smeared at the Patriarchal Seminary of Rachol in South Goa.

FIRST TIMERS

Among them, there were many first timers who were very excited to plant paddy.

SOUTH GOA FARM-HANDS

Youths from Fatorda, Shiroda, Borda and Nuvem, along with the seminarians, their parents and locals, transplanted paddy in a field measuring around an acre.

TEACHING THEM YOUNG

Undeterred by the pouring rain, the younger generation learned the value of growing their own food.

RICE FOR A YEAR

The harvested rice is consumed by the seminarian community for the entire year. The surplus yield is sold.

HAPPY REALISATION

The youth realised the effort and hard work farmers put in to earn their livelihood.

OLD AND YOUNG
