The term horticulture is derived from the Latin words "hortus," meaning garden, and "cultura," which means cultivation. In ancient times, gardens were enclosed with high walls or similar constructions that surrounded the residences. The enclosed areas were utilised to raise fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. As a result, in its original understanding, "horticulture refers to the cultivation of garden plants within protected enclosures". Horticulture is currently described as the study and practice of growing, processing, and marketing fruits, vegetables, flowers, spices, plantations, medicinal plants, and aromatic plants. Modern horticultural production and post-harvest systems are highly specialised and advanced. They necessitate significant input from a variety of technologies, many of which are meant to work on a large scale and are not easily adapted by small-scale enterprises. The horticultural industry is also highly integrated along the supply chain, with many private and public sector parties contributing significantly to various aspects such as the development of new cultivars and production methods, the establishment of grade standards and market entry protocols, and the actual marketing of produce.

Relevant results of education of a country can be achieved only when the education is based on its culture and life philosophy. Then only the character of the generations may be modified which will be harmonized to the culture of the country. Vidya Bharati has outlined the system of child education based on our Bhartiya philosophy, which is, in turn, the basis of the overall development of one’s personality. According to ECCE of National Education Policy-2020-“Over 85% of a child’s cumulative brain development occurs prior to the age of 6, indicating the critical importance of appropriate care and stimulation of the brain in the early years in order to ensure healthy brain development and growth”. A ‘Shishu’ (child) is first like the seed of the human. As all opportunities of the development of a tree lies in its seed, so is about human too. As per Bhartiya thought, a Shishu is the purest form of the ‘Brahma’. The parents are the means of bringing this ‘Brahma’ on earth. Vidya Bharti has adopted the program “Shishu Vatika” to train and educate the babies along with their parents and families. It is the responsibility of the family, especially the mother, for the proper development of the child. Efforts are being made to awaken this sense of responsibility and create an environment of humanity with the values of Bharat through “Shishu Vatika” across the country.
