 SOCIAL CONNECTIVITY AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
Social connectivity and responsibilities involves the
awareness, understanding, and appreciation of
connections among people, including between people
and the natural environment. Social connectivity and
responsibility focuses on interacting with others and the
natural world in respectful and caring ways.
Social connections are the relationships you have with
the people around you. They may be close, like family.
Friends and co-workers, or more distant, like people you
know casually. They can be as close as next door or so far
away that you only connect with them by telephone or
through the internet.
PLANTATION AND ADOPTION OF A TREE
On 6th February 2023, we group of 254 students started
our SCR activity.
First we had a session on WESTERN GHATS & TREASURE
by Giridhar Kamath
who gave us a brief summary on how important
plantation and adoption is in today’s generation.
Then a plantation drive was held in the
Campus which involved all the students and
faculty members.
The purpose of the plantation drive is to increase
the number of trees in campus, which provides
environmental ,economic and social benefits.
It also promotes awareness about the importance of tree
plantation and
encourages people to take action to protect the
environment. Overall, a plantation drive is an
excellent way to promote environmental conservation
and sustainability.

 HERITAGE WALK

On 22nd Feb 2024 , we 254 students of our department along

with beloved faculty Mr. Abhishek,Ms. Shwetha Rai &
Ms.Spoorthi went to Koti-chennaya theme park for heritage walk.
It was Thursday morning & was less crowded place that day . we
started walking around koti-chennaya glancing around the
heritage buildings. Firstly at entrance we saw Koti Chennaya
statues which froms main symbol odf the theme park and then
we entered the wall arts and murals & garden spread around
there.We found a nice fairly maintained garden in the entry
area.And next we moved onto Ancient artefacts, scale
models, household items progressing or migrating to the city
life , the legacy of traditional and cultural heritage homes is
becoming extinct. A whole block is dedicated to exhibit ancient
artefacts- kitchen utensils and utilities made from wood and
other materials, temple structure samples, agricultural artefacts
and so on. And moving on to next we saw Cultural Exhibits-
Kambala, Bhootada Kola, Huli Vesha and more. An open
area next door has several exhibits depicting Kambala,
Bhootada Kola, Huli Vesha (tiger dance) and others.It was a
great support from our faculty that made this a successful walk.
HERITAGE WALK
 ORGANIC FARMING
On the same day we moved to Sumathi organic farming.
Sumathi Organic Farm is over a 100-year-old farm.
Sumanthi Organic Farm is spread over 160 acres and it is
located 30Kms away from Mangalore city (Karnataka) at
Yedapadavu Village. Their ancestors have always been
practicing organic farming in their own land. They have
continued traditional farming using natural methods once
followed by their ancestors. Their entire farm and farming
methods are certified under NPOP & NOP-USDA standards
that is India Organic & US organic standards.
by “Aditi Organic certification pvt. ltd”.
VIROGA (Farmer Owned Brand) is the brand name under
which we sell our superfood products. Viroga is a farmer
owned brand. Their products contain no additives, is free
from artificial preservatives, synthetic fillers or binders.
100% natural, Organic and made in their own Sumathi
Organic farm in daily batches. Moreover, for their crop
cultivation they use raw materials that are made in our
farm and strictly prohibit the use of chemical fertilizers.
They bring food to their table, which is honest and
traceable to its source.
Firstly we saw Paddy fields on the way where various
types of crops were grown. All they used is organic
fertilizers which gave them a good yields.

Then we saw a number of areca nut’s tree’s and more

number of areca nut’s were laid on the ground for drying.
And then we saw papaya farm.
At Sumathi Organic farms they maintain a cow farm and
a poultry farm which consists of only indigenous breeds.
Their indigenous cow breed consists of Gujarat Gir,
Malnad Gidda, Kapila, Sahiwal, Kangrej, etc. A2
indigenous Cows are allowed to graze freely in our
Organic fields. They don’t believe in keeping their cows
bounded by ropes, they are left to graze freely unlike
commercial diaries. Since their cows are well fed &
healthy, they give more nutrient rich A2 products. All
there farm made compost manure like Dashparni Ark,
Panchagavya, Jeevamrutha etc are made using products
of our A2 indigenous cows.

WATER HARVESTING
After the organic farming visit we went to water
harvesting management, which was present at the same
venue i.e Sumathi’s water harvesting management. Here
they use the technique called Borewell Recharge.
Borewell recharging mainly focuses on utilizing surface or
rooftop water that has been harvested and places where
run-off water starts to percolate through Vee Wire Screen
Filters. The water then passes through Vee Wire Screen
Filters and percolates into the borewell. There are mainly
two methods of borewell recharge which include direct
and indirect recharge.
In the case of the direct recharge method, the
percolation pit generally measures around 10 X 10 feet
around the casing pipe of the tube well. This packaging
pipe is then punctured with a drill machine and the
openings are covered by a nylon network. The lattice
doesn’t guarantee anything, however, the water goes
across the borewell.
The direct bore well recharge method is however only
recommended if the borewell has run dry and is not building any
amount of water. Indeed, even a running borewell
can ghostwriter rehearse direct re-energizing if there should be
an occurrence of excess surface water which in any case would
go down the channels and get squandered. However, letting
unfiltered surface water saturate the ground is profoundly
deterred as this might taint the groundwater or stop the spring
with pollutants, for example, harmful minerals like fluoride and
modern substance squander. Water harvesting is important
because it helps in making India self-dependent in fresh water
resources.

FOOD WALK
On the day as we were out for SCR activity we planned to have
the food walk activity. So we decided to have a karavali style
lunch in afternoon.
 Lunch and dinner in this region usually comprise rice with
wet and dry curries. The South Indian sambhar is called huli in
Kannada or koddelu in Tulu. The thing that will strike you when
trying out the huli in Karavali is that it is thicker because
coconut is added.
Other spins on the sambhar that you must try here are
the Menaskai and Majjige Huli, also called Kodakyana in
Tulu. In the former, conflicting flavours - sour, sweet, hot and
sometimes bitter - are mixed to make it a tasty concoction. Can
be made with any sour or bitter vegetable or fruit, most often
with bitter gourd, mango or pineapple. The Majjige Huli or
Kodakyana is a dish where the sambhar is overloaded with
buttermilk to give it a nice sour taste.
Karavali cuisine makes excellent use of leafy vegetables. They
are used as the main ingredient for curries, they are used to
wrap around the main ingredients to add flavour while steaming,
they are added to flour and made into pancakes, and banana
leaves are also used as plates to serve food on! Among them,
special mention must be made of the Basale or Malabar
Spinach, which is found in very few regions, among them
Karavali. Basale huli is a delicacy you must try when you are
here.
So in our menu we had pickle, boiled rice, huli sambar , majjige
huli(Butter milk),paisa, curries, veg gravy. All 254 students
together we had lunch, and we explored a new food style.
 CONCLUSION
As part of the social connect and
responsibilities our department of Computer
science & Engineering along with our Institute,
conducted many activities which were very
fruitful to our academic year, and it has helped
us gain a lot of knowledge about various
innovations, establishments and events all
around our locality.
It also boosted our enthusiasm about various
events. In conclusion, the intertwining threads
of plantation and adoption of trees, heritage
walks, organic farming, water harvesting, and
food walks collectively weave a tapestry of
sustainable living. By fostering a commitment
to reforestation and tree adoption, we cultivate
not only green landscapes but also a healthier
environment. Heritage walks allow us to
connect with our roots, preserving cultural
richness. Organic farming promotes ecological
balance and nourishes both soil and soul.
Water harvesting becomes a crucial aspect of
responsible resource management, ensuring a
sustainable water supply. Finally, the delightful
journey of a food walk encapsulates the
essence of mindful consumption and
appreciation for locally sourced, sustainable
nourishment. Together, these initiatives
harmonize to pave the way for a holistic and
sustainable lifestyle, fostering a symbiotic
relationship between humanity and the planet.
I want to thank all of my faculty co-ordinator
who have helped us in doing all of this
activities successfully. I would also like to
thank our institute and our department in
arranging all of this and making it wonderful. I
look forward to participate in many more
activities which is to come in our next
academic years.
