Farmers are the backbone of our Nation

Recognizing the importance of farmers on January 25th  the Social Service Club of  Saint Raymond’s English Medium High School   acknowledged the countless hours, sacrifices and expertise they put into producing the food that we rely on.

The programme commenced with a prayer song led by the members of the Social service club, this was followed by the warm welcome and introduction by Nayana the club advisor who emphasized the importance of the farmers and the respect they deserve in the society. The Skit and the dance performed by the students inspired and motivated us to respect the dignity of labour and not to waste any food grains.

The programme was graced by the distinguished presence of Dr Sr Mariola BS the Educational Coordinator of Mangalore province and the Correspondent of the School, Harikesh Shetty the president of Ulaibettu Gram Panchayat, Reshma Pais the PTA Vice President, Sr Shanthi Flavia Menezes the Headmistress and the stars of the day our beloved farmers.

The speeches and the entire programme spoke that the farmers are not just producers of food but they are the stewards of the land, they work tirelessly through changing seasons, unpredictable weather and shifting market conditions to ensure that food reaches our tables. Without their hard work and sacrifice the society would not have access to the wide variety of produce, grains, dairy that we depend on daily.
