Education Department Launches "Sanjeevini Van" Medicinal Plant Gardens in Karnataka Government Schools
Karnataka's education department has begun planting tulsi, aloe vera and other medicinal herbs in selected government school campuses under the "Sanjeevini Van" scheme to promote Ayurveda and environmental awareness among students.
The Karnataka education department has launched the "Sanjeevini Van" initiative, planting medicinal herbs in the premises of selected government schools across the state.
The scheme aims to familiarize students with Ayurveda and natural biodiversity by cultivating species such as tulsi (holy basil), aloe vera and other useful medicinal plants within school grounds.
School authorities will allocate designated plots for the gardens, and teachers will integrate the plants into science and health curricula, encouraging hands‑on learning and environmental stewardship.
Officials say the project will not only enhance students' knowledge of traditional medicine but also promote greening of school campuses and foster a sense of responsibility towards nature.
