Isha Home School Science Fair: Where Learning Came Alive
The Isha Home School Science Fair was a vibrant showcase of curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. 🚀🌱💡
From exploring scientific concepts to building working models, students immersed themselves in the exciting process of questioning, experimenting, and innovating. Their projects reflected a wide range of interests, offering creative solutions and unique perspectives on the world around them.
The Isha Neeru pilot watershed development project was launched in Chikkaballapura, Karnataka. The initiative also included a training program for farmers from nearby villages, where scientists from Krishi Vigyan Kendra shared practical insights on scientific tree plantation practices.
With hope and a shared vision, this pilot watershed seeks to become a model, not only for Chikkaballapura and Karnataka, but for the entire country.
Of the 549 Class 10 students who passed this year, 289 were girls,15 scored centums, and 347 scored distinctions, delivering an average score of 401/500. 391 scholarship students validated the difference that benevolent donors made in their lives.
Take a bow, students and donors!
Not all soil is created equal.
A little more shade.
A few more earthworms.
A little more organic matter.
A different way of farming.
Small changes above ground can transform what happens below it.

When soil is healthy, water stays and farmers' incomes multiply.
At a Delhi press conference, Cauvery Calling showcased a proven approach to addressing two of agriculture's biggest challenges: water security and farmer prosperity.
Healthy, carbon-rich soil acts like a sponge—absorbing rainfall, recharging groundwater, and supporting crops through changing climate conditions. Tree-based agriculture helps make this possible while creating additional income streams for farmers.
The results speak for themselves.
Valluvan, a farmer from Tamil Nadu and UN FAO Soil Health Guardian 2024, shared how he transformed his farm through tree-based agriculture—growing his income from ₹30,000 to ₹3,00,000 per acre per year while significantly improving soil health.
🌱 13.4 crore trees planted
🤝 2.5 lakh farmers engaged
🌍 A scalable model that brings ecology and economy together
