WHEN the school’s golden jubilee was to be celebrated last year, Murali Kadekar, headmaster of Nittur High School in Udupi, wondered what they should do. It must be a significant gesture, he thought, as he wracked his brains for an idea.
Then it struck him that he used to cycle all the way from home to school every day, passing lush paddy fields on both sides of the road. But those fields had long vanished. What if he could get his ex-students to revive them?
Kadekar’s seed of an idea eventually succeeded in reviving 50. . .
