Creative / Eco-Tourism Report
On 1st of August 2011, we the cohort 6 fellows all went to Eco tourism. We left Hubli at 8pm by bus to Bangalore; from Bangalore to Kuppam we travelled by train. There we visited Agasthya International Foundation. It has a huge campus nearly 170 acres surrounded by forest and natural recourses. Here Mr.Laksh Kumar, Mr.Udaya Kumar and Mr. Nagaraj were taken care of us. The accommodated all fellows in their guest house.
At 10 am we divided into three groups. Group one went to transact walk and did topography map of the area which they allocated to the group. Group two and three did PLA (Participatory Learning Activity). During PLA Mr. Udayakumar explained very well about plants like Catnick, Occasiya, Banduri, Brain Booster, Punrnava and Calotropic, Tiloporia Hastamatica etc. Also he explained about the uses of all plants, some of them plants ware using for Medicinal purpose. Banduri plant is using for bone fracture it helps to joint broken bone and Punrnava plant it helps to Sugar patents and also it helps to cure Kidney.
Both groups were divided their PLA places for survey. During survey fellows ware observe the things which created by human and naturally made. At last both groups completed their survey. All three groups completed their activity at 1pm and gathered at a given place; here all three groups were gathered and explained about their experiences while transact walk and PLA. After this all of us went to lunch break.
After lunch we played a game called Chinese whisper, in this game we learned about coordination and confidentiality. The game was mainly focusing on listening. Evening we went to see some animals, all fellows were very enthusiastic to see animals didn’t found any animals.
On second day early morning we went to watch birds, at this time we saw some birds like crow, king fisher, great caucus, kembuta, love birds and mina.
After breakfast we went to see Kangondi Fort. This Fort was surrounded by trees and mountain. It was a very old Fort and it’s very interesting to visit.
Afternoon we divided in to two groups and constructed a circle wall for a tree and cement bench near Volley ball ground. The raw materials provided by Agasthya team we used our manpower to complete this task. To constructed this with cement, sand bricks and waste water bottles. Then Sir thought us about vertical plantation by using of waste water bottles, it was new learning for us. The same day evening we visited to a community to watch the activities of Agastya Foundation. Here Foundation was distributing plants and also they are running classes for drop out children.
Last day we visited to all departments of Agastya Foundation CTC, Biology lab, Art lab and also Chemistry lab. Finally we visited Creative Training Center, in this center they were giving training about Bridge making for teachers of government school.
We came back to DCSE on 5th of August. This creativity/ Eco tourism was very interesting and gave good learning for me. Through this trip we got time to understand our co fellows deeply and clearly.
