1. NATURAL FARMING-first culture is agriculture Agriculture is affected by climate change and also contributes to it. As a sector, agriculture must therefore adapt to changes and offer options for mitigation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and store carbon. Agricultural land use contributes to 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is rising. As demand for food increases, farmers are clearing new land resulting in deforestation, tilling of pasture and soil degradation. This activity opens carbon sinks and so releases greenhouse gases. Agriculture must also adapt to changes in climate in order to provide food security. Rising temperatures and decreasing water availability are reducing yields particularly in developing countries where agriculture is vital for the food security of these populations. Extreme weather events such as droughts and floods are making cropping and animal production even more prone to failure. The objective of our project was to explore the mitigation and adaptation potential of natural farming. It examines natural farming’s performance on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration. With respect to adaptation, the study discusses how organic farming systems utilize traditional skills and knowledge, manages with weather extremes, and enhances productivity and resilience.

Natural farming is one thing we do in our special camps as well as in college from the beginning of the academic year June 2016-17. “First culture is agriculture” we started our project first culture is agriculture with natural farming in 2 hectares of land of our college. Seeds were distributed in college for students and teachers. Grow bags were also distributed among the teachers. For the healthy growth of plants, soil should provide a favorable condition. For this soil testing survey was conducted in the campus.

A) Vegetable Cultivation (Horticulture) Goal: The vegetable cultivation undertaken by the NSS unit of our college intends to impress upon the students and the local community. The importance of agriculture and self-sufficiency attained thereby. Collective work and the fruits of such labour will be given due credit by the students only if they indulge in such activities. The main goal behind this endeavor is to instill the spirit of hard work in the students. Vegetable cultivation has assumed great importance in the context of the 'food security' which is the talk of the day. The college is blessed with vast areas of land which can be fruitfully utilized for the good of the society. The availability of water and labour has also made it conducive for such an enterprise. Practice: More than half acres of land on the campus has been brought under cultivation yielding variety of vegetables highly in demand in the market. High quality seeds and expertise have been made available from the department of agriculture. The labour was offered by a team of 100 NSS volunteers, rightly regarded as 'Green Army' on the campus. After a few months of hard-work there was a rich harvest. A harvest festival was arranged to celebrate the harvest. An outlet was opened to market the products. The first season of harvest was inaugurated by Dr.Shamsudheen, Assistant Professor EMEA College.

Desilting of Ponds and Canal (Rain water harvesting, Bamboo Lake cleaning)

Water is a fundamental human need. Each person on Earth requires at least 20 to 50 liters of clean, safe water a day for drinking, cooking, and simply keeping themselves clean. Although Kerala is classified as a rain-rich State, there are several pockets of acute water scarcity. Faced with acute water scarcity and the unreliable service of the State water authority. As part of the project named Rain Water Harvesting, -NSS renewed a water source in college campus. a pond in front of campus which was left unused for two decades. The Pond was drained out and the bottom was cleaned by the volunteers.

The theme of this year's World Blood Donor Day is “Blood connects us all". It focuses on thanking blood donors and highlights the dimension of "sharing" and "connection" between blood donors and patients.

'How to tackle Exam Fever'

Examinations are almost always stressful. Students rarely know exactly what to expect on the test, and those who suffer from exam fear or exam anxiety can see their grades suffer as a result of this stress. A little anxiety can actually help your performance, but some students become so overwhelmed that they "seize up" and forget what they have studied. Exam anxiety can strike before, during and after a test. Students of final year Degree who are preparing for exams during this March were provided with a psycho-social counseling session under the initiative of NSS. The participants reported that it was really helpful and they received techniques of how to handle pressure. The programme inaugurated by Hussain Melatoor (JCI Trainer).
