This report of the camp throws light on the conditions that affect the conduct of a camp. You will see how Nature and circumstances can upset even the most meticulously planned programmes. It goes on to illustrate how, through the sheer urge to participate in community life, it is possible to transform apparently dismal extraneous conditions into a memorable learning experience . 3 ˼ Community Living Camp The University of Calicut revised its curriculum in 2005. A three-day Community Living Camp with an allotment of ten marks was included as part of the Practical Work of the BEd. Course. Immediately after the commencement of the course a meeting of the teaching staff of the college was held in the Principal’s Chamber to discuss the curricular programme including the Community Living Camp. According to the Press and Electronic Media reports,the Community Living Camp held at Thunchanparamba, Tirur was unique in every respect . In fact, it was the first of its kind to be held as part of training programmes for BEd. trainees in Kerala. Aim and Significance of the Camp Camps help to create a free and friendly atmosphere. The camp members get an opportunity to interact freely with others which helps them to shed inhibitions and shyness if any.

    1 NEED for the PLAN Ponnani Town Is a Known Trade Centre in the History of Malabar and Is Situated in the Malappuram District

    Master plan for Ponnani Town -2035 1 NEED FOR THE PLAN Ponnani town is a known trade centre in the history of Malabar and is situated in the Malappuram District. Ponnani, the taluk headquarters is enriched with rivers, lakes, canals and sea shore. With large facilities for eco tourism options, rich tradition, trade and service, the city is blooming as one of the major urban centre in Malappuram District. The chapter gives an insight into the town and specifies the need for a Master Plan in the area. For this the Master Plan area/ Ponnani town is delineated as the Ponnani Municipal area. 1.1 The Town Ponnani is an ancient coastal town and an important fishing center in Malappuram District. Spread over an area of 24.82 km2, the town is situated at the mouth of Bharathapuzha, the second longest river of the State, and is bounded by the Lakshadweep Sea on the west. Thus the town was prominent as a scenic, coastal town since ancient times. Being a major coastal town, the place has much historical significance too. It is often regarded as one of the oldest ports in South India and has contributed to the trade and economy of Malabar from very early times. Ponnani formerly known as Ponani and Paniyani is sometimes roughly identified with the port Tyndis of the Roman accounts. Ponnani taluk is the smallest taluk in Malappuram District. Panvel-Cochin national highway NH 66 (formerly NH 17) passes through the heart of the town. Ponnani has found a renowned place in the history related to Islamic history.
