Know why a green library in a Thane government school is drawing much attention
Scan a plant and get all details about it. Isn’t this a great idea to instil knowledge about the pant kingdom in young minds, in the era of smart phones?
A government school in Thane district of Maharashtra seems to think so. The students, teachers and staff have planted a kitchen garden within its premises and created a scan tag for each plant containing all its information like species, scientific name, etc. All it takes to get all these details is to scan the tag with a smart phone and, lo and behold, all the information are available on the screen.
A living green library, one could say, breathing out enriching knowledge about the richness of our plant kingdom.Related Stories

Perfect marriage of technology and hands on learning about the nature!
