INTRODUCTION
Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard and valued; when they can give and
receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
Social Awareness and Responsibility involves the awareness, understanding, and appreciation of connections among
people, including between people and the natural environment. Social Awareness and Responsibility focuses on
interacting with others and the natural world in respectful and caring ways.
People who are socially aware and responsible contribute to the well-being of their social and physical environments.
They support the development of welcoming and inclusive communities, where people feel safe and have a sense of
belonging.
Social responsibility refers to an individual or corporate accountability to fulfill their civic duty and take actions that will
benefit society.
Socially responsible company managers make decisions that maximize profits and protect the interests of the community
and society as a whole.
Providing time for employees to support their own social initiatives can also build pride, loyalty and motivation among
team members.
Students build and maintain diverse, positive peer and intergenerational relationships. They are aware and respectful of
others ’needs and feelings and share their own in appropriate ways. They adjust their words and actions to care for their
relationships.

Plantation:
Tree planting is recognised as one of the most
enjoyable and environmentally friendly activities that
people can engage in to benefit the earth. Trees offer
PLANTATION AND ADOPTION OF TREE
several long- and short-term advantages. They not
only look good, but they help minimise the risk of
floods, enhance air quality, and lessen the urban heat
island effect by reflecting sunlight and giving
shade. Urban tree plantation efforts are largely centred
around planting trees along roadsides and the
perimeters of recreational grounds. Trees reduce soil
erosion and stormwater run-off, bring down ambient
temperatures, apart from providing shade and aesthetic
appeal. They also help in climate change mitigation by
sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide as carbon in
trunks, branches, leaves and the soil.
PLANTATION AND
ADOPTION OF TREE
ADOPTION:
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, human
health and essential natural resources for millions
of people.
ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
ORGANIC FARMING:
Organic farming is a set of agricultural production practices that
maintain and enhance the health of ecosystems and soil biodiversity.
It is done by using diverse species, incorporating crop rotations, and
using natural pest management techniques. The use of chemical
pesticides and fertilisers is prohibited in organic farming. Organic
agriculture helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and has a
positive impact on climate change.
The government has taken some initiatives to promote organic
farming in the country, the private sector has also promoted organic
farming in India. Some companies have set up their organic farms,
while others have provided financial assistance to farmers for
conversion to organic methods. With the right policies in place,
India has the potential to become a global leader in organic
agriculture.
ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
WASTE MANAGEMENT:
Waste management refers to the activities conducted to manage
waste from its collection to eventual disposal. Solid, liquid,
hazardous, nonhazardous, household, industrial, biomedical,
municipal, and organic waste are all a byproduct of industrial
processes; waste management methods seek to reduce or eliminate
the negative impacts that waste has on society. The key to efficient
waste management is to ensure proper segregation of waste at
source and to ensure that the waste goes through different streams of
recycling and resource recovery. Then reduced final residue is then
deposited scientifically in sanitary landfills. Sanitary landfills are the
ultimate means of disposal for unutilised municipal solid waste from
waste processing facilities and other types of inorganic waste that
cannot be reused or recycled.
As the world faces an increasingly critical need to address climate
WATER CONSERVATION change, the impact that water conservation has on a sustainable
environment is undeniable. Groundwater is the primary source of
freshwater that caters to the demand of ever-growing domestic,
agrarian and industrial sectors of the country. Over the years, it has
been observed that the necessity for the exploitation of groundwater
resources for various everyday needs, like toileting, bathing,
cleaning, agriculture, drinking water, industrial and ever-changing
lifestyles with modernization is leading towards tremendous water
wastage.
Though many technological devices are being developed to
minimize the water wastage, the impact will be greater if every
individual contributes to water conservation by minimizing or
optimizing groundwater usage for daily activities. Today, water
conservation at individual level has become very critical.
Our water resources are depleting each year. Additionally, we cannot
generate artificial water and must depend on water sources available
on our planet earth. Due to population boom and excessive need of
water to suit our ever-expanding modern lifestyle, water scarcity is
felt all over the world. This has given rise to major concerns over
water conservation.
HERITAGE WALK - MANDARAGIRI HILLS

Mahara. In addition to this, there are lots of paintings
that you find around the inner circular walls of the
gurumandir depicting the life of the saint. The
Mandaragiri hill is a small hillock with 435 steps. There
is also a Jain Temple on top. The view from the top of
the hill is absolutely picturesque. A lake named Mydala
Kere here enhances the beauty of this unexplored place.

The main idol of Goddess Mahalakshmi in the temple is
believed to be self-manifested. According to local HERITAGE WALK – GORAVANAHALLI MAHALAKSHMI
historians, in the early 1900s, a villager named Abbayya
TEMPLE
came into possession of this idol. He worshipped the idol
at home and was blessed with wealth and prosperity. His
home soon came to be known as Lakshmi Nivas in honour
of his charity work. Abbayya brother’s Thotadappa also
worked alongside Abbayya and worshipped the Goddess
Mahalakshmi. One night the Goddess visited him in his
dreams and asked him to build her a temple. Thus
Thotadappa built a temple for the Goddess and began
worshipping the idol in this shrine. After Thotadappa’s
death, Chowdayya began performing the poojas for
Goddess Mahalakshmi. Little is known about what
happened next but for fifteen years between 1910 and
1925, the temple was abandoned. In 1925, a pious
devotee, Kamalamma arrived in Goravanahalli and found
the temple in a deserted state. She brought the temple back
to life and started performing poojas once again for the
Goddess but for some reason, left the place after a year. It
was around 26 years before she came back to the Temple
and re-established it in 1952. From then on, the temple
became a pilgrimage spot for Goddess Mahalakshmi’s
devotees.
