Suribailu Government School at Kulnadu village in Bantwal taluk in Dakshina Kannada district is a school with a difference. When almost all educational institutions are pressuring their students to focus on studies, this school emphasises equally on education and farming activities. The school has developed its own vegetable garden. The garden is grown and maintained by the school children along with teachers. School Development Committee Chairman S.M.

The garden is spread over a one-and-half acre of land. A variety of vegetable seeds were sown in June which includes snake bean, pineapple, tomato, Ladies finger, pumpkin, paprika, cucumber and many others.
