RESPONSIBILITIES
Responsibility, on the other hand, denotes the duty or obligation that individuals have
towards others and society as a whole. This includes acting ethically, contributing
positively to the community, and considering the impact of one's actions on others
and the environment. Responsibilities can range from personal obligations such as
taking care of family members to broader societal responsibilities such as advocating
for social justice and environmental sustainability.
The relationship between social connection and responsibility lies in the recognition
that individuals are part of a larger social fabric and that their actions and choices can
influence the well-being of others. Strong social connections can foster a sense of
empathy and concern for others, motivating individuals to fulfill their responsibilities
towards their community.

PLANTATION AND ADOPTATION OF TREE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
A plantation is a large farm which is usually specialized on farming one type of crop.
Plantations grow cash crops, mostly for export, and less for local use. Crops grown on
plantations include banana, sugarcane, coffee, tea, cotton and tobacco.
In modern use, the term usually refers only to large-scale estates. Nevertheless, before
about 1800, it was the usual term for a farm of any size in the southern parts of British
North America, with, as Noah Webster noted, “farm” becoming the usual term from
about Maryland northland. It was used in most British colonies but very rarely in the
United Kingdom itself in this sense. There, as also in American, it was used mainly for
tree plantations, areas artificially planted with trees, whether purely for commercially
forestry, or partly for ornamental effect in gardens and parks, when it might also cover
plantings of garden shrubs.
Tree plantations, in the United States often called tree farms, are established for the
commercial production of timber or tree products such as palm oil, coffee, or rubber.
The trees species used in a plantation are also an important factor. Where a non-native
varieties or species are grown, few native faunas are adapted to exploit these, and
further biodiversity loss occurs. However, even non-native tree species may serve as
corridors for wild-life and act as a buffer for native, regarding edge effect.
Trees offer several long- and short-term advantages. They not only look good, but they
help minimize the risk of floods, enhance air quality, and lessen the urban heat island
We have inherited this planet with its many resources, from our ancestors. The onus
rests on us to protect the earth’s fragile ecosystem, so that future generations have a
place they can call home. It is indeed ironic that despite being at the top of the food
chain Homo Sapiens are intent on destroying the very things that guarantee their
survival. However, there is a silver lining. The situation can be remedied by restoring
the earth’s green cover and taking concrete measures to reduce carbon emissions.
Let’s all take a vow to go green and save the earth from destruction.
All relationships are about giving and taking, even our relationship with the earth. It is
only fair that we plant more trees to make up for the ones we cut, so as to maintain the
ecological balance and natural harmony. Planting trees is the only way to make sure
that our planet’s green cover is not wiped out completely. Trees give us life. It is time
that we gave back to nature. It is time that we nurture the earth now and tree
plantationwould be a great leap forward in this endeavor.
1.4 MANGO
Mango, (Mangifera indica) as shown in Figure 1.2, member of the cashew family
(Anacardiaceae) and one of the most important and widely cultivated fruits of the
tropical world. The mango tree is considered indigenous to southern Asia part of the
world, especially Myanmar and Assam state of India, and numerous cultivars have
been developed. Mangoes are a rich source of vitamins A, C, and D.
1.5 HIBISCUS
Hibiscus, (genus Hibiscus) as shown in Figure 1.3, genus of numerous species of
herbs, shrubs, and trees in the mallow family (Malvaceae) that are native to warm
temperate and tropical regions. Several are cultivated as ornamentals for their showy
flowers and a number are useful as fiber plants.
1.6 CONCLUSION
Trees are our main survival tools. Trees throughout our existence have helped and
sustained our life. They are the main tool which creates and beautifies our
environment. There are many environmental benefits of planting a tree. Trees provide
shade and beautify our landscape. Trees are so important for the global environment
and the health of the species that live there, and they need our unconditional care and
protection. So, if the trees do a lot for us, then taking care of their upkeep and giving
them proper sunshine, water and shade becomes our job. In aid of our environment,
let's take a pledge to grow more trees. Plants play a very major role in everyone's life
including animals. Directly or indirectly we are all dependent on plants and trees. We
need to save trees to keep the greenery.
MODULE 2
HERITAGE WALK
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Heritage walks are a means of uncovering the hidden riches of the country. It
contributes to the development of the city’s history and character through the
development of an interest in urban conversation activities and local community
involvement. Heritage looks to past, but it is something that is produced in the present
for a particular purpose within human groups and societies. Heritage is a form of
‘representation’ which has the potential both to include, exclude or exploit certain
members of society.
2.2.1 History
As shown in Figure 2.1 St. Michael's and All Angels' Church, Oorguam was the very
first Anglican Church to be raised in KGF. It traces its history to the St. Paul's Church,
Oorguam, and the original church which was moved to Roberson pet. The Church was
for the exclusive use for the officers of the John Taylor and Sons Company, with the
pews being reserved with names of the families.
The church was located in an exclusive secluded zone accessible only to white officers
of the mining company. This Church was under the administration of the Church of
England, Madras Diocese, with the chaplains being appointed by the John Taylor and
Sons Company. After Indian independence in 1947, the church was transferred to the
Church of South India, Mysore Diocese.
The Church celebrated its centenary in 2015. The church receives visitors from around
the world. Most of the visitors come in search of the church where their ancestors were
christened or baptized. The church has a relationship with the South India Biblical
Seminary, and practical training to trainee pastors.
Rev. L Giffard Pollard was appointed as the chaplain of the St. Paul's Anglican Church
in December 1901. During his tenure, the process of building a new church started, as
the present structure had developed cracks as a result of sinking the Bullen shaft near
the church. The church building and land was taken over by the Oorguam Company,
and compensation was paid to the SPG. With these funds the SPG raised a new St.
Paul's Church at New Town or Roberson pet for the Tamil Anglican community of
KGF.
2.2.2 Architecture
On 8 October 1903, the foundation stone for the new English Anglican church was laid
on the site allotted by the Gold Fields of Mysore Company. The church and parsonage
was constructed in the Victorian style, using bricks and stones. The church was
consecrated as the St. Michael's and All Angels' Church on 3 March 1905.

2.3.1 HISTORY
In 1885, the British Mining Company of John Taylor and Sons established the first
club in Kolar Gold Fields and named it the KGF Gymkhana Club as shown in
Figure
2.2. Bridget Kumar charts the history of the club. Among its members was T P
Kailasam, one of the greatest Kannada playwrights. By the end of the 19th century, a
sprawling British township was in place in Kolar Gold Fields and it came to be
known as 'Little England' due to its British and Anglo-Indian population and its
colonial ambience. Being a British mining colony, the social life of people at KGF
The region saw the establishment of quite a few Associations towards the middle of the
1800s, such as the Kolar Gold Fields Choral and Dramatic Society which organized
plays and choral functions, The Royal Army Temperance Association, The Trades list,
etc. These Institutes catered to the social and cultural needs of the local British and
European population.
However, the need for recreational and sports facilities and clubs was greatly felt. In
1885, the British Mining Company of John Taylor and Sons established the first club
in Kolar Gold Fields and named it the KGF Gymkhana Club. They built a 12-hole golf
course and a beautiful Victorian Club House. This club was the first of its kind to be
established in KGF and is ranked as the fourth oldest golf club in India.
2.3.2 ARCHITECTURE
It had its own polo, golf and hockey teams. The club was and still is affiliated to
Indian Golf Union and is also affiliated to all the major clubs in India. The club house
was equipped with a traditional bar, library, snooker an billiard rooms, tennis courts,
shuttle
The foyer of the club has many deer and bison heads on its walls as shown in the Figure
2.3. There are also a number of framed photographs of all the old Superintendents and
Chairmen of the Mines starting with Mr. John Taylor in the lounge of the club. Besides
these there are a lot of other photographs as well.
2.4 CONCLUSION
Heritage walks are the best way to learn and recognize our culture, tradition,
philosophy, myths and associated rituals with them. The walk makes one look back
and reminds us of our rich culture and history, provoking us to think about the
existence of every historical structure and place. Heritage walk was quite good and
enjoyable, where we explored and gained knowledge about the two important places in
our locality, KGF. This program is very important because we get to explore different
places, the places which have never been identified.

ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Organic farming is a method of agriculture that relies on ecological processes, such as
crop rotation, natural pest control, and composting, to produce food while minimizing
environmental impact. Unlike conventional farming methods, organic farming does
not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Instead, it emphasizes the use of
natural inputs and encourages biodiversity, soil health, and the preservation of natural
resources.
Organic farming has many benefits, both for the environment and for human health.
By avoiding synthetic chemicals, organic farming reduces pollution and soil erosion,
promotes healthy ecosystems, and helps to maintain biodiversity.
5. Lower carbon footprint: Organic farming uses fewer fossil fuels and has a lower
carbon footprint than conventional farming. This is because organic farming does not
rely on synthetic inputs, which require large amounts of energy to produce.
6. Support for local economies: Organic farming often involves small-scale, local
farms, which can provide economic benefits to local communities. By supporting
organic farming, consumers can help to support local economies and preserve local
farming traditions.
4. Compost food scraps and yard waste to divert organic waste from landfills.
5. Donate or sell items that are still in good condition instead of throwing them away.
3.3 CONCLUSION
Overall, organic farming has numerous benefits, including improved food safety, soil
fertility, and environmental protection. By choosing organic products, consumers can
support sustainable farming practices and help to build a healthier, more sustainable
food system. Waste management is aimed at protection of the environment and to
enhance the safety of the surrounding environment for humans and animals. Hazardous
wastes are disposed far from reach of humans and animals to prevent harm.
Environmental pollution is a major public health issue that is prevented by proper
waste management because fewer wastes end up in the environment. Recycling as a
waste management process enables saving of resources and prevention of
accumulation of wastes, to prevent the surroundings from getting dirty. Reducing the
use of plastic, reusing all the old items.
MODULE 4
WATER CONSERVATION
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Water conservation is the practice of using water efficiently and avoiding unnecessary
water usage. It is crucial to conserve water because it is a finite resource that is
essential for all forms of life on earth. According to the United Nations, more than
twobillion people lack access to safe drinking water, and water scarcity affects more
than 40% of the global population.
2. Be mindful of water usage: Turning off the faucet while brushing your teeth or
shaving, using a broom instead of a hose to clean outdoor areas, and only running the
washing machine and dishwasher when they are full are simple habits that can
significantly reduce water usage.
3. Collect rainwater: Collecting rainwater in barrels or tanks can provide a source of
water for gardening and outdoor uses, reducing the need for municipal water.
4. Use native plants: Planting native plants in your yard can help reduce water usage
because they are adapted to the local climate and require less watering.
5. Use mulch: Applying a layer of mulch around plants can help retain moisture in the
soil, reducing the need for watering.
6. Maintain your lawn: Maintaining your lawn by watering it in the early morning or
late evening when temperatures are cooler and the sun is less intense can reduce water
loss due to evaporation.
7. Educate others: Educate your family, friends, and community about the
importance of water conservation and ways to reduce water usage.
8. Install the control panel in a nearby area such as the garage or utility room and
connect it to the external piping linked to the tank.
9. .Lastly, ensure all rainwater pipes have the appropriate markings to identify those
which are not used for drinking water.
4.4 CONCLUSION
All in all, we must identify water scarcity as a real issue as it is very dangerous.
Further, after identifying it, we must make sure to take steps to conserve it. There are
many things that we can do on a national level as well as an individual level. So, we
must come together now and conserve water. Water plays a very major role in human's
life. We know there is only3% fresh water on earth and we really need to conserve it.

FOOD
5.1 INTRODUCTION WALK
A food walk is an enjoyable way to explore different cuisines and cultures of a city or
a neighborhood. It involves walking through various food spots to sample their food,
learn about their history, and engage with the local community.
As you embark on your food walk, you'll have the opportunity to try different dishes,
flavors, and ingredients. It's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new
things. You can also ask the vendors or chefs about the ingredients and preparation
methods. This will give you a deeper understanding of the food and its cultural
significance.
Apart from the food, a food walk is also an excellent opportunity to learn about the
history and culture of the neighborhood. Many food spots have been around for
generations, and they have interesting stories to tell. You can learn about the owners,
their family history, and the evolution of the food and its cultural significance over
time.
5.2 Cake
Cake is a flour confection made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients and is usually
baked. In their oldest forms, cakes were modifications of bread, but cakes now cover a
wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate and which share features
with desserts such as pastries, meringues, custards, and pies.
Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, such as weddings,
anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like,
some are rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a
complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making
(particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been
simplified so that even the most amateur of cooks may bake a cake.
5.2.1 History
As shown in the Figure 5.1 the term "cake" has a long history. The word itself is of
Viking origin, from the Old Norse word "kaka".
The ancient Greeks called cake (plakous), which was derived from the word for "flat",
(plakoeis). It was baked using flour mixed with eggs, milk, nuts, and honey. They also
had a cake called "satura", which was a flat, heavy cake. During the Roman period, the
name for cake became "placenta", which was derived from the Greek term. A placenta
was based on a pastry base or inside a pastry case.
The Greeks invented beer as a leavener, frying fritters in olive oil, and cheesecakes
using goat's milk. In ancient Rome, the basic bread dough was sometimes enriched
with butter, eggs, and honey, which produced a sweet and cake-like baked good. The
Latin poet Ovid refers to his and his brother's birthday party and cake in his first book
of exile, Tristia.
Early cakes in England were also essentially bread: the most obvious differences
between a "cake" and "bread" were the round, flat shape of the cakes and the cooking
method, which turned cakes over once while cooking, while bread was left upright
throughout the baking process.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) standard or 320°F (160°C) fan/convection. Lightly
grease 2x 9-inch (22cm) round cake pans with butter. Line base with parchment paper.
Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
Whisk in sugar, and then add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Whisk well to combine until
lump free, about 30 seconds. Pour boiling water into batter, mixing well. Cake batteris
thin in consistency. Pour batter into cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a
wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes, and
then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
5.3 CONCLUTION
By food walk we can gain knowledge about the food habits, cultures of local habitat.
We can also taste different types of foods and enjoy delicious foods. Food walks
search for authentic culinary experiences that explore them to new tastes, textures and
traditions. There is a lot of authentic food around the globe that can be explored. The
aim of the food walk is to go around and know about their food and the culture behind
that. Food helps you to connect around and know about different tastes.
