Plants and trees are our natural capital. They are fundamental to life on earth, offering food,
medicine and shelter. They also sequester carbon, fight pollution and bind the soil.
The solution to catastrophic events like wildfires, floods and pandemics lies in restoring green
cover and restoring the balance in nature. Planting or adopting trees can help safeguard jobs,

Tree Plantation is one of the best activities for making the planet greener, livelier, and
healthier. Planted trees help our biodiversity, ensure the supply of oxygen for the next
generations, and provide us with various resources. Without trees, the existence of human life,
as well as other species on earth, is impossible. So, we should plant more and more tree.
Trees are important for us to live in. Tree plantation alludes to planting trees at a spot. Tree
plantation has many advantages on the earth and our wellbeing. We as a whole inhale oxygen
to live, and trees are the main characteristic source of oxygen. Tree plantation guarantees that
the supply of oxygen never ends.
Tree plantation additionally urges vegetation to develop. Birds make their homes in the trees,
subsequently adding to the beauty of nature. Birds additionally scatter seeds and pollen on the
ground, resulting in the development of different plants. So, tree plantation expands the bio-
diversity of a specific region.

Melukote is the location of the Cheluvanarayana Swamy Temple, with a collection of crowns
and jewels which are brought to the temple for the annual celebration. On the top of the hill is
the temple of Yoganarasimha. Many more shrines and ponds are located in the town. Melukote
is home to the academy of Sanskrit Research, which has collected thousands of Vedic and
Sanskrit manuscripts.[2]
Early in the 12th century, the famous Srivaishnava saint Sri Ramanujacharya, who hailed
from Tamil Nadu, stayed at Melukote for about 12 years. It has thus become a prominent centre
of the Srivaishnava sect.
After Ramanujacharya was made the rajguru of Hoysala Empire, Lord Vishnu in a dream
ordered Ramanuja to move to Melkote, where he would find the holy earth. Traditional
accounts mention that the reason for travel was to search for namam clay for Srivaishnava
Urdhva Pundra which was abundant in Melkote. Upon traveling, he found the holy earth and
a vigraha of the god which was installed as the deity Tirunarayana of Melkote. In the
year, Pushyamasa Shukla Paksha Chaturdashi, the deity was installed according
to Pancharatra agama. Ramanuja worshipped it for three days, followed
by kumbhabhishekham and recited tamil vedas. Subsequently,

ORGANIC FARMING AND WATE MANAGEMENT
3.0 INTRODUCTION:
Organic farming is growing in India. However, while a switch to 'natural' farming has its
benefits, scientists argue that it may also result in lower crop productivity, thereby endangering
food security in the country
Organic farming is our duty,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, while addressing the nation
on the 75th Independence Day on August 15.
Modi mentioned organic and natural farming twice in his speech, as he talked about turning
to chemical-free agriculture.
“Today natural farming is also a way of becoming self-reliant,” he said. “Today the factories
of nano fertilisers have brought new hope to the country. But natural farming and chemical-
free farming can give a boost to self-reliance.”
• Soil Management. Soil management is the primary technique of organic farming in India. ...
• Weed Management. Organic farming's main aim is to remove the weeds. ...
• Crop Diversity. ...
• Chemical Management in Farming. ...
• Biological Pest Control.
Organic farming is theanswer to most of the problems conventional farming has created. It
produces muchless pollution, it encourages crop diversity, and it encourages soil and
waterconservation. It also could help to eliminate the conventional farming monopoliesthat
have taken over the agricultural and food industry.
The waste produced by the industrial activities is called industrial waste. Industries, mills,
mining operations, power plants etc. produce a huge amount of waste. It produces three kinds
of wastes - solid, liquid and gas such as chemicals, ashes, industrial effluent, carbon dioxide,
sulphur dioxide etc. Which should be decomposed or managed efficiently to keep ourselves
and our environment safe. In this article we will discuss what is industrial waste, types of
industrial wastes, management and effects of industrial wastes.

WATER CONSERVATION
4.0 INTRODUCTION:
Although the earth is rich in water, only one percent is liquid fresh water, the form we require
for our highest priority needs. The demands on this liquid fresh water are growing, and many
scientists feel that a future shortage of fresh water will be eminent. Water conservation and
management emphasizes water quality protection, a growing area of employment and
environmental concern. Water conservation and management encompasses the policies,
strategies and activities made to manage water as a sustainable resource, to protect the water
environment, and to meet current and future human demand. Population, household size, and
growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will
increase pressures on natural water resources especially in industrial and agriculture.
Several types of water meters are in common use, and may be characterized by the flow
measurement method, the type of end-user, the required flow rates, and accuracy requirements.
Two dams are currently in the planning stage. One situated just north of Sambor Kratie
Province, is currently being investigated by a Chinese company. There are reportedly two
options for this dam, one being a large-run-of-the-river dam that would block all traffic
and fish migrations, and the other a smaller dam across part of the river, that would still
allow boat traffic to pass .

Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth.
Only run the washing machine and dishwasher when you have a full load.
Use a low flow shower head and faucet aerators.
Fix leaks.
Install a dual flush or low flow toilet or put a conversion kit on your existing toilet.
Don’t overwater your lawn or water during peak periods, and install rain sensors on
irrigation systems.
Install a rain barrel for outdoor watering.
Plant a rain garden for catching stormwater runoff from your roof, driveway, and other hard
surfaces.
Monitor your water usage on your water bill and ask your local government about a home
water audit.
Share your knowledge about saving water through conservation and efficiency with your
neighbors.

Water serves us best when it is clean and can supply the needs of the overgrowing
population of our community. But considering the current condition of the availability of

FOOD WALK
5.0 INTRODUCTION:
Food is one of the basic necessities of life. Food contains nutrients—substances essential for
the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues and for the regulation of vital processes.
Nutrients provide the energy our bodies need to function. The energy in food is measured in
units called calories. Food is required for our good health, maintenance, growth, and
development. Food contains several kinds of substances or constituents. Each one is important
for some function or the other. These food constituents which are needed by us for our growth
and maintenance are called nutrients.

5.2.2 INGREDIENTS.
Dharwad peda is prepared from the milk of Dharwadi buffaloes which in earlier times were
raised by the Gavali community in and around Dharwad. Khova is warmed on moderate flames
to eliminate moisture. It is then treated with ghee, sugar and milk till the colour turns brown. It
takes one-and-a-half hours of constant stirring.
The mix is crushed into smaller pieces using a blender. The crushed khova-milk-sugar mix is
pressed into a desirable shape and heated on a pan. A few prefer adding cardamom to enhance
the flavor. Final product is then rolled in sugar and is ready to serve.

Traditional technologies of food processing and preservation date back thousands of years and,
unlike the electronics and other modern high technology industries, they long preceded any
scientific understanding of their inherent nature and consequences.
Traditional foods and traditional food processing techniques form part of the culture of the
people. Traditional food processing activities constitute a vital body of indigenous knowledge
handed down from parent to child over several generation. Unfortunately, this vital body of
indigenous knowledge is often undervalued.
Hotel Hanumanthu Original 1930, in Mysore, gets its name from the fact that other
restaurants serving similar dishes claim to be the original Hanumanthu restaurant (we’re
convinced their food is brilliant just because they deal with insane competition!). Initiated and
founded by Sri Man Hanumanthu, it is the oldest and one of the most popular spots in Mysore
for non-vegetarian food. We make plans for weekends to go here ONLY for the chicken and
mutton palav. The palavs are served with raita and gravy making it is a fuss-free meal. But we
promise you'll keep going back for more. Their signature dishes also include liver mutton and
leg soup, if you're not opposed to those kinds of meats

Food brings everyone together no matter what culture you are in. Culture is a way of life shared
by a group of people, beliefs, customs, symbols and etc
We all know that to live we must have food, but we do not all realize that we must eat the right
kinds of food to be at our best and to work efficiently.
