SOCIAL

CONNECT AND
RESPONSIBILI
TY
INTRODUCTION:

Social responsibility is an ethical framework in which an individual is

obligated to work and cooperate with other individuals and organizations for the
benefit of the community that will inherit the world that individual leaves
behind.
It is a duty every individual has to maintain, a balance between the
economy and the ecosystem.
MODULES OF SOCIAL CONNECT AND RESPONSIBILITY ARE:

•Module-1: Plantation and adaptation of a tree.

•Module-2: Heritage walk and crafts corner.
•Module-3: Organic farming and waste management.
•Module-4: Water conservation.
•Module-5: Food walk.
MODULE-1: PLANTATION AND ADAPTATION OF A TREE.
•Tree plantation is very necessary because trees
provide oxygen to the environment and make the air
quality better.
• Plantation of trees promote a strong economy and
can provide numerous resource to the people that
need them.
•The tree is the key to a pollution-free environment
for a long time because they are responsible for
providing oxygen, improving the quality of air,
climate, conserving water, soil preservation and
supporting wildlife.
TEAK PLANT:
• Teak is a tropical hardwood tree from
species in the family Lamiaceae.
• It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in
mixed hardwood forests.
• Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white
flowers arranged in dense clusters at the end
of the branches.
 Description:
• Teak is a large deciduous tree up to 40 m (131 ft) tall with
grey to greyish-brown branches, known for its high quality
wood.

• Its leaves are ovate-elliptic to ovate, 15–45 cm (5.9–17.7 in)

long by 8–23 cm (3.1–9.1 in) wide.

• Tectona grandis sets fruit from September to December;

fruits are globose and 1.2–1.8 cm in diameter.

Wood:
• Heartwood is yellowish to golden-brown. It darkens as it
ages. There can be a large variation based on which region
the Teak is from. Old growth has much tighter rings than
new growth. There is a leather-like scent in newly cut wood.

• Sapwood is whitish to pale yellowish brown. It can easily

separate from heartwood.

• Wood texture is hard and ring porous.

• Density varies according to moisture content: at 15%

moisture content it is 660 kg/m3.
 BENEFITS TO THE SOCIETY:

Teak has a high oil content making it very weather resistant, therefore it offers good elasticity. This means it’s an ideal timber for
garden furniture and boat decks. Another great benefit of teak is that it gives the wood a high resistance against insect infestation.

• Builds community spirit and unity.

• Educates communities about the benefits of tree and nature.

• Removes and stores carbon from the air.

• Reduces flood risks.

• Create wildlife habitat.

• Improved aesthetics.

• Provides shade.

• Reduces green space maintenance costs.

• Provides oxygen.
MODULE-2: HERITAGE WALK AND CRAFTS CORNER.
• Heritage walk is a tool to explore the unexplored and neglected richness of
the country.
• It plays an important role for the development of history and character of the
city through generating interests and involvement of the local community in the urban
conservation activity.
• The heritage walk can be a step towards the preservation of the culture and
heritage of the destination. The ultimate aim of heritage walks is the preservation of local
craft, monuments and religious sites.
• The important aspect of any tourism activity is the upliftment of the local communities.
• Heritage walks in India are often centered around exploring monuments, architecture or
inevitably, food. We have
HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE :
Sri Durgambika Temple is soaked in the history that
dates back hundreds of years ago. Located in the heart of the
city of Davanagere, the temple was a part of Nolambavadi
Province of Chalukya times.
The shrine which was brought in form of stone some
200 years ago, a stone was brought from Dugatti village,
later got transformed into Durgambika Temple in 1932. It is
one of the biggest temples in the city and is dedicated to
Goddess Durga. The presiding deity id Durgambika, known
variously as Durgamma, Durgambika and Durgavva.
Once in two years Durgambika Devi festival is
conducted in the month of MarchApril and celebrations of
this festival continue for 10 days where devotees from
across the country come and seek the blessing of Goddess
Durga.
CRAFT CORNER:
History of Indian handicraft conveys the racy
traditional heritage of the subcontinent. Tracings its
origin from the rurals of India, Indian arts and crafts is
ever evolving with the social, cultural, and economic
changes of the land.
Handicraft is about processing materials by hand
with hand tools. The results can be helpful things or
decorative things.
The materials utilized in the product are natural,
industrially processed or maybe recycled.
POTTERY:
Pottery is the process and the products of forming vessels
and other objects with clay and other raw materials, which
are fired at high temperatures to give them a hard and
durable form.
In art history and archaeology, especially of ancient and
prehistoric periods, pottery often means vessels only, and
sculpted figurines of the same material are called
terracottas.
Pottery is made by forming a clay body into objects of a
desired shape and heating them to high temperatures (600–
1600 °C) in a bonfire, pit or kiln, which induces reactions
that lead to permanent changes including increasing the
strength and rigidity of the object.
MODULE-3: ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT.

Organic farming, also known as ecological farming or

biological farming, is an agricultural system that uses
fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure , green
manure , and bone metal and places emphasis on techniques
such as crop rotation and companion plating.

Organic farming also has a number of benefits for the

environment. The first is obviously that it reduces the number
of pesticides used. Because although some inputs (the so-called
“natural origin”) are allowed, organic farming strictly regulates
their use. Thus, organic farming reduces the potentially
harmful effects of pesticides on biodiversity and ecosystems.
However, organic farming is sometimes singled out for a
number of issues.
 Needs of organic farming:
Components of organic farming:
 To conserve the ecosystem.

 To provide inexpensive farming.  Organic fertilizers.

 To promote sustainable development.  Reducing use of non-renewable resources.

 Improvement of Human Health.

 Use of local resources.
 Increase soil organic matter.
 Rich in nutrients.
 Improved water holding capacity.
 Analytical Authentication Assures Quality Product
 Lower water consumption.
 Increased demand for organic products due to the safety of food.
 Reduced soil loss.
 Excessive use of chemical fertilizers reduces the fertility of soil.
 Crop rotation.
• Excessive use of chemicals has led to soil, water and air
 No agrochemicals.
pollution.
 No GMOs.
 No synthetic fertilizers.
 Lower energy usage.
WASTE MANAGEMENT:
Waste management is carried out to recover resources from it. Waste management can involve solid,
liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, with different methods and fields of expertise for each.

Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas, and
for residential and industrial producers.

Management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the
responsibility of local government authorities, while management for nonhazardous commercial and
industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.
• Waste can be solid, liquid, or gas, sand each type has different
methods of disposal and management. Waste management deals
with all types of waste, including industrial, biological, household,
municipal, organic, biomedical, radioactive wastes.

• In some cases, waste can pose a threat to human health. Health

issues are associated throughout the entire process of waste
management.

• Health issues can also arise indirectly or directly: directly through

the handling of solid waste, and indirectly through the consumption
of water, soil and food.

• The aim of waste management is to reduce the dangerous effects of

such waste on the environment and human health. A big part of
waste management deals with municipal solid waste, which is
created by industrial, commercial, and household activity.
MODULE-4: WATER CONSERVATION.

Water: A prime life sustaining natural resource; cannot be created like other commodities.
• A nature’s gift to all living beings on the earth.
• Is the elixir of life.
• In India: Stress on availability of water is due to population explosion & improved standard of
living.
• The scarcity is compounded further because of massive agricultural and industrial
development coupled with improper and indiscriminate exploitation of groundwater resources.
• Only handful of countries in the globe can boast of such an extensive river network that our
country has.
• The mighty Indus-Ganga-Brahmaputra in the North, the Narmada-Tapi-Mahanadi in the
Central region and Godavari Krishna-Cauvery in the South have been symbols of existence and
growth of our country right from its inception.
Methods of Water Conservation :
• Take shorter showers.
• Install water-saving shower heads or flow restrictors.
• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.
• Use your automatic washing machine only for full loads only.
• Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables.
• Water your lawn only when it needs it.
• Don't water the gutter.
• Plant drought-resistant trees and plants.
• Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants.
• Use a broom to clean driveways, sidewalks and steps.
• Don't run the hose while washing your car.
MODULE-5: FOOD WALK

•A food walk, also known as a food tour, is an activity that involves exploring a particular area
or city while sampling various local dishes and drinks.
•The idea is to discover the local food culture and to taste some of the best and most authentic
dishes that the area has to offer.
 FOOD CULTURE:

• Davanagere is the "Heart of Karnataka". Davanagere is surrounded from Chitradurga, Vijayanagara, Shimoga,
Chikmagalur and Haveri districts.
• The local food in Davangere is of different types. Besides it's special delicacy Benne Dose, there are stalls for all sorts of
cuisines like Chinese, Indian, and Indian cuisine, different types of chaats, etc.

• We selected a special and famous food shavige.

• We went to shree Raghavendra Shavige hotel situated in kalipet Davangere.

• Every day 500-600 people visit the hotel.

• The quality of the food is very good.

• And here I’m with this well-known Ottu shavige which is classic and old recipe followed from more than 30 years as of now.

• The devotee’s visiting Durgamma temple don’t miss a chance of having this delicious yet healthy breakfast.
