Hubballi: "Aunty, please come... buy fresh brinjal..." "No Aunty, please come to me and buy beetroot, I am giving at concessional price." "Hello uncle, see this onion, cheaper than market" -- chirpy young cries crammed the air on the 'Tarakari Santhe' (vegetable marketplace) on the premises of Sankalp Foundation's Nursery School in Vidyanagar, Hubballi on Friday morning.
At the tip of an hour, about 25 kids bought about 15kg of over 20 vegetables. Each child earned about Rs five, and held the profits with pride and happy smiles. Like Samarth Inamadar, who bought beetroot for Rs 30 a kg and bought it for Rs 35. Asked about quantity, he regarded innocently to his mother for lend a hand.
The kids had arrayed their vegetables on the floor, and did their highest to draw consumers. They have been dressed for the occasion too - in indigenous apparel like Ilkal saris, old saris, Nehru shirts, dhotis and Gandhi topis.
UKG pupil Sanvi Chalageri, wearing an Ilkal saree, mentioned she had introduced half a kg of tomatoes at Rs five and was once promoting for Rs 10. "Our teachers have said we must sell with a margin of Rs 5," she printed. She expressed displeasure that there was once no demand for her tomatoes even when the marketplace had closed. "Many students had brought tomatoes, so I waited till the end," she added.
Sanvi Kulloli, additionally an LKG pupil, was once calling consumers loudly, but was once slightly at a loss for words which vegetable she had introduced alongside. She marketed her potatoes as tomatoes, and when a customer quizzed her, right away corrected herself, "Sorry, Uncle, it's potato!"
Prachi Lalge, major, instructed TOI that the Tarakari Santhe was once designed to sensitize kids on tips on how to deal with different vegetables, what they are, how to buy and promote, interact with consumers, and the margin that distributors make. "Though it looked like our future citizens were imbibing the spirit of entrepreneurship, it was more to do with human values and morality," she defined.
"We had instructed kids and parents to bring half a kg of vegetables which we had assigned to them. Some children had voluntarily brought 1kg of the veggie. Parents were requested to buy veggies from kids other than their wards. It was on a pilot basis, so it was organized in the school premises. Seeing the feedback from parents and kids, we plan to hold it in public places in the coming years," she mentioned.
PARENTSPEAK
Tarakari Santhe is truly a creative and innovative task. When lecturers instructed us about this match a fortnight in the past, we questioned what it was once. When they defined the purpose of the development, we have been glad to be a part of it. Moreover, our children have now discovered tips on how to deal with cushy veggies like tomatoes and hard ones like brinjal and potato. They additionally notice the hurdles faced by way of vegetable distributors and the way they earn profit.
