He took students around the entire Polyhouse while explaining the kinds of plants nurtured there, their importance and need in the outside world.

Students enquired about irrigation facilities, fertilizers used to maintain growth and the chemical control undertaken to keep away pests and diseases. Every query was answered in detail by Mr. Shelke. He showed students the area where preparation of pots for vertical garden was being done. The workers explained what potting mixture is made up of.

Mr. Shelke explained the process of tissue culture technique by taking the students to its Tissue Culture Unit. Students were not allowed to enter the Laboratory due to strict protocols, but they got a view of the tissue culture lab through huge glass windows.
