Over the past few days, school students in the district got a golden opportunity to view the precious collection of plants at the Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI) at Palode.
The JNTBGRI organised an ‘Open House and Science Orientation Programme’ for high school students from May 23 to May 27 as part of marking the 50th anniversary of forming a science, technology and environment committee in Kerala in 1972.
