 CHAPTER 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The community service report shall have only a one-page executive

summary. It shall include a brief description of the Community and
summary of all the activities done by the student in CSP and five or more
learning objectives and outcomes.

We have named our Project as “Green Thumbs – Spreading the Seeds

of Change” which is creating awareness of planting Trees among the
people.
I am P. Tharun Kumar, along with my team members under the guidance
of our mentor Mrs.B.Sridevi, we have done a community service project
on this topic.
Firstly, we have gathered 10 members as a team and chosen a village
near by our college. A long with my team we went to that village and took
the permission. In the village we have chosen some area in the village
and created awareness among some of the people in that area. We have
selected two villages named Taderu and modi.
The secretary has motivated us and he also came participated with us
in the project survey in the awareness program. People also shown
interest and we asked them at least plant trees whenever any special
occurred in our life like every birthday, Marriage days etc. The outcomes
of the project are the people are educated about how important trees in
our life was, they also contribute in this program and plant some trees.
The trees not only help for the environment and global warming but also
in future we will get fruits and flowers from them.
 CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY
• About the Community/Village/Habitation including historical
profile of the community/habitation, community diversity,
traditions, ethics and values.
• Brief note on Socio-Economic conditions of the
Community/Habitation.

The areas we have chosen for the project was two villages they are Modi
in Kalla mandal and Taderu in Bhimavaram mandal which are present in
West Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Different communities of
people are present in the villages majorly people are depended on
agriculture and Aqua culture. We have enquired them about the situation
of the agriculture in their fat time and they said that their main source of
income was from agriculture and they have grown coconut trees and
paddy majorly. But later in search of earning more income they haven
taken ponds on their agriculture lands. So that the agricultural land was
decreased as going further but now they are getting loses because of
viruses are becoming increases day by day. Now they again trying to do
agriculture again and also we have suggested them to do organic
farming so that our environment will be safe and we will gain immune
power in our body. The socio and economic conditions of people are
vary from one to another. Many of the people we met are middle and
below middle class people. We have Interacted with them politely and

language of Telugu. Many people interacted with us politely and given
water and talked with us. The geographical condition of the villages are

 CHAPTER 3: COMMUNITY SERVICE PART

Description of the Activities undertaken in the Community during

the Community Service Project. This part could end by reflecting on
what kind of values, life skills, and technical skills the student
acquired.
I am P. Tharun Kumar, along with my team members under the guidance
of our mentor Mrs.B.Sridevi, we have done a community service project
on this topic.
Firstly, we have gathered 10 members as a team and chosen a village
near by our college. A long with my team we went to that village and
took the permission. In the village we have chosen some areas in the
village and created awareness among some of the people in that area.
We have selected two villages named Taderu and modi .

We have gathered some of the points before going to the survey they
are listed below and also explained the importance to the people:
• What kind of plants should be useful
• What will happen if we continuously cut the trees
• We have explained about the causes of cutting trees
• We have asked the conditions at present compared with their
childhood look like
• Why some birds are endangered now
• Why the global warming occurring
• Why food revolution comes
From the above questions we have collected the answers from the
people and gained knowledge from the answers. And taken necessary
steps required to develop the environment by planting the trees. And
have taken the pictures from them.

My experience:

It was a great experience meeting the villagers and knowing

their good and bad.They were very generous and patient to clear our
doubts and gave useful information.They talk to us very jovially and
made fun of some problems and some innocent question.I felt very
happy after meeting with them.
1. Hands-on Experience: Through my involvement in the project, I
gained practical, hands-on experience in planning, implementing,
and managing community-based initiatives. I learned how to
navigate real-world challenges, make informed decisions, and
adapt my strategies as needed.
2. Interpersonal and Communication Skills: Working with diverse
team members, community members, and stakeholders enhanced
my interpersonal and communication skills. I developed the ability
to effectively collaborate, build relationships, and navigate different
perspectives to achieve project objectives.
3. Leadership Development: During the project, I took on a
leadership role as the project coordinator, which allowed me to
develop and enhance my leadership skills. I learned how to
motivate, inspire, and guide team members towards our common
goals.
4. Problem-Solving and Adaptability: The project presented
unexpected obstacles and changing circumstances, which helped
me develop problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically. I
learned to find creative solutions and adapt my approaches to
address challenges effectively.
5. Empathy and Cultural Awareness: Engaging with the community
fostered my empathy and cultural awareness. I gained a deeper
understanding of diverse perspectives, cultural practices, and
societal challenges, which increased my appreciation for the
complexities of the world around me.
6. Project Management Skills: Throughout the project, I learned and
applied essential project management skills, such as planning,
organizing, and coordinating activities within specified timelines
and resource constraints. I gained experience in setting goals,
managing budgets, and tracking progress.

the community allowed me to actively engage community
members, listen to their needs, and involve them in decision-
 making processes. I developed skills in community empowerment
and learned the importance of fostering sustainable change from
within.
8. Reflection and Self-awareness: Reflecting on the project provided
me with valuable self-awareness. I gained insights into my
strengths, weaknesses, and areas for personal growth. It helped
me identify my passions, values, and interests related to
community service, which will inform my future involvements.
9. Civic Responsibility and Citizenship: Engaging in the project
cultivated a sense of civic responsibility and active citizenship
within me. I developed a deeper understanding of my role in
society and the importance of contributing to positive change in my
community.
10. Networking and Professional Development: The project
provided opportunities for networking with community leaders,
organizations, and professionals in related fields. I expanded my
professional network, gained references, and explored potential
career paths.

Conclusion:
These experiences have contributed to my personal, social,
and professional development, equipping me with valuable skills,
perspectives, and a sense of purpose that will positively influence my
future endeavors. The analysis what we got was the people also
observed the climatic changes and many health problems arises due to
this.

Objective of the Activity Done:

Detailed Report:

We created awareness of why soil erosion occurs because of deforstation

And why soil fertility decreases day by day. We have told them to change

the crops year by year. As we use same type of crops every time the crops

uses same type of minerals from the soil, we suggested them to do soil

testing for every few years. Also told them to plant the trees which are

medically scientific plants so that our health will be improved

Challenges :

In villages many people have cattle in their homes if they grow plants in

their gardens the animals many times eat them. So they lost interest many

times to plant the trees. Also they believe that many insects will come into

their homes.

Achievements:

• Successfully created little bit awareness among the people

• We asked them to at least plant a tree on special day in their life

• Given a idea to arrange some iron cages so no cattle eat them

• We asked them to use organic methods on plants to stop insects
