These pictures are video captures. The first row is of the agriculture school buildings, living quarters and class rooms. On the second row is a building with a thatched roof (first two pictures). These buildings are relatively cool and the roof can last up to twenty years. Rows three and four show the fish agriculture set-up, with ponds and water tank towers. The floods of 2005 - 2006 caused a major setback in production, which is being remedied. The very last picture on the last row is of the aviary which is now in disuse because of the flood but which should also be re-established.
