  To start with, we were all confused as to what “Food Walk” meant. With the same confusion in our mind, we had to complete this activity. Another sunny day. It was a bright day and it was lunch time. We were all hungry. There were rats running inside our stomachs I guess! We set out to Gonikoppa, where we were to visit the Cuisine Papera to have our lunch. After a tiring bus journey, we finally reached Gonikoppa town. We had to walk a short distance to reach the restaurant. The Cuisine Papera is famous for its Kodagu cuisines. You even get to have otti and pandi curry there. We reached the restaurant. A few of our friends had accompanied us. As soon as we enter the complex, we find a stair way. Moving up the stairs, we find different artefacts of Kodagu placed in different styles. They try to showcase the beauty and history of Kodagu in front of the customers. We captured pictures of the artefacts. We then occupied our seats in the restaurant. We had decided our order. We ...

  The tired children set for another activity on the same day we completed the waste management activity. It was very hot outside and we couldn’t move further.   Water conservation is the practice of an efficient usage of water by reducing unnecessary wastage . We were taken to a water conservation unit, the ground water recharge, situated in front of the college auditorium. The rain water that falls on the roof of the auditorium is sent underground though a small tunnel.   We even visited a small lake that is situated in the college premises where the water collected from the rooftop is deposited. Our campus tour came to an end but there was much to do. We had to attend a session on water conservation on the same day.  We head towards the classroom where the session was organized. We were very well explained about the amount of water present on earth, the amount of water that can be consumed, the amount that is being wasted, the amount of water that is being p...

  Waste management deals with all types of waste. Waste management is intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on human health, the environment, planetary resource and aesthetics. The sun was scorching hot when we set out for a campus tour. We headed towards the waste management unit of our college. Moving slowly, we reached the Sewage Treatment Plant. We observed the process involved in cleaning the waste water. We were also explained as to how waste water was treated. We then proceeded towards the bio-compost pit, just next to the sewage treatment plant. We had to capture pictures everywhere. We were explained about the bio-compost pit.   Later on, we moved towards the incinerator. We observed the working of the incinerator. We were also explained about the procedures and measures followed while using the incinerator. Incineration is a disposal method in which solid organic wastes are subjected to combustion so as to convert them into residue and gaseous products ...

  It was a pleasant morning. Everyone was busy with something. That is because we had a guest talk on organic farming organized by our department. We had invited two resource persons Dr. Harish and Mr Chengappa.  Finally, at 10:30 am, the guests had arrived and it was time for the guest talk. The welcome and introduction was done. Now it was time for our guest to educate us about organic farming and much more about agriculture.   Dr. Harish educated us about the various practices of organic farming. Organic farming is the process in which less or no chemical fertilizers are used. Every carbon containing element is known to be organic. We can just know that all the orgainic farming materials contain carbon.   He also informed us about poultry farming and the reasons behind deteriorating health of human beings because of injecting hormones to poultry animals.  He explained us about the different macronutrients and micronutrients that a coffee plant requires.
