Growing Futures: Nirmaan and Synopsys Expand Kitchen Gardens in Telangana Schools

August 5, 2025

At Nirmaan Organization, we’re proud to scale our collaboration with Synopsys Inc through a meaningful environmental initiative, "Kitchen Gardens" in government schools across Telangana.

What began last year with 3 pilot gardens has now grown to 7 Kitchen Gardens, reaching rural schools in Jangaon (4), Sangareddy (2), and Rangareddy (1)—directly impacting 2200+ girl students. These gardens serve as hands-on classrooms, nurturing lessons in sustainability, environmental responsibility, and nutrition.

We’re grateful for the encouraging support from Shri Rizwanbasha Shaikh, District Collector, Jangaon, and look forward to inaugurating the new gardens this August.

This initiative stands as a testament to how CSR partnerships can truly transform education and build greener futures.

Thank you, Synopsys, for your continued support in bringing real-world learning and sustainable change to government schools. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the leadership of Bijay Chowdhury and Narendra Korlepara in implementing this great initiative.

Thanks to Dr. Shrikant from GHMC Serilingampally, Entomology team, for leading an eye-opening session at our Headquarters (HQ) and Global Impact Capability Center (GICC) on the impact of stagnant water and mosquito-borne diseases, as part of the Urban Malaria Scheme.

The session highlighted how even small, unnoticed pools of water can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and spreading diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. Dr. Shrikant also encouraged everyone to adopt the "Friday = Dry Day" practice of checking and clearing stagnant water every Friday to break the mosquito breeding cycle.
