For CBSE schools
Why a farm day fits the CBSE curriculum
National policy and CBSE now ask schools to take learning outside the classroom. A day on a working farm covers field visits, hands-on skills and interaction with farmers in one trip.
NEP 2020
A 10-day bagless period for Classes 6–8
The National Education Policy 2020 recommends that all students in Grades 6–8 take part in a 10-day bagless period and intern with local experts such as gardeners.
CBSE circular
Skill-83/2024, 23 September 2024
CBSE asked the heads of all affiliated schools to implement 10 Bagless Days in schools, following the NCERT guidelines released on 29 July 2024.
CBSE Skill Education
Work with Life Forms, Classes 6–8
The skill curriculum for the middle stage includes plant nursery and kitchen garden projects, lists hydroponics as an exemplar project, and asks students to interact with a local farmer or gardener.
Kryzen is a training partner for schools and colleges. We are not affiliated with CBSE or NCERT, and each school decides how the visit counts towards its bagless days or skill projects.
