Shetimati, an initiative by Parashar Agri & Culture Tourism since 2011, is dedicated to spreading awareness and gratitude for food, farming, and the efforts of farmers and parents who nurture us.
Through carefully designed indoor and outdoor games, storytelling sessions, workshops, and farm tours, Shetimati aims to reconnect children, teenagers, and young adults with themselves and their roots.
Over the years, we have engaged with local, domestic, and international students of all age groups, fostering a deep connection to food and its origins.
Playing with soil and food not only nurtures motor skills but also enhances decision-making, confidence, self-expression, coordination, cooperation, imagination, creativity, and inner happiness. While many of us know about food’s sources and benefits, Shetimati transforms this information into meaningful knowledge and wisdom by engaging participants in interactive and experiential learning.
Food is more than a basic necessity; it is the source of energy and a natural medicine that nurtures our well-being. The sensory experience of touching, smelling, and feeling food brings us closer to ourselves, helping us develop a meaningful relationship with it.
Farming, the art of growing food, connects us to nature’s ecosystem. From open farming to hydroponics and aeroponics, every method reflects creativity and adaptability. Beyond being a practice, farming is an art form, a therapeutic activity, and a form of meditation.
Soil, the foundation of all growth, not only sustains life but also fosters joy and inner peace. By engaging with soil, we develop essential life skills while completing the “circuit of happiness” within ourselves.
The journey of food, from ancient times to the modern day, is fascinating, and nature’s storytellers—honeybees—serve as witnesses to this incredible voyage.
Through Shetimati’s activities, participants learn valuable lessons that help them become thoughtful and responsible individuals. They cultivate habits like finishing meals without waste, cleaning their plates, helping with household tasks, respecting the efforts of parents and farmers, and valuing food and its significance.
