How do you know the uses of these ? Did you take help?
I am from this area and know about these plants -- I see them being used everyday. I also asked my father and brothers and the elders in my neighbourhood. Even though my brothers don't go to school, they know more about these plants than I do.

How is that?
Books tell you only of some plants and their characteristics. Besides, when you see the plants and how they are used, it is easier to remember.

How will this knowledge help?
I want to become an agricultural scientist and come back to my village with new techniques of production. The competition also has a section on medicinal plants and I want to know more about them.

What did you do with your prize money from last time?
I spent the Rs 10 I got to buy notebooks.
