Best Practice 1:

1. Title of the practice: Organic farming and Vermicompost Unit

2. Objectives of the practice:

The intension aim of the practice is

• To conserve endangered medicinal plants and native vegetables
• To adhere / sustain waste management
• To develop the entrepreneurship skill among the scholars
• To bring an awareness among farmers regarding organic farming
• To train the academicians and public about vermicompost  and vermiculture

3. Context:

The institution has a total of 16 acres of land. Apart from the buildings there is enough space available for tree plantation and cultivation. Increasing the consciousness about conversation of environment, health hazards caused by agrochemicals and to create an awakening about many useful species which are on the verge of extension, the institution decided to sustain the endangered medicinal plants and native vegetables by practicing organic farming using vermicompost as manure. As most of our students hail from agrarian families they exhibited a readiness to take part in the practice and gaining awareness on organic farming.

4. Practice:

The college is provided with a vast open space suitable for harvesting and cultivation. The organic farming is one of the unique initiatives of the college where the available land is used for the cultivation of medicinal plants, native vegetables and mushroom. The organic waste collected from the garden such as grass clippings, dried leaves, spent mushroom substrate, vegetable waste from the campus (including mess and canteen) are decomposed in the vermicompost unit in the campus. The manure obtained is utilized for our farming purpose. The products obtained by this practice are available for the sale in the campus as well as the public. The college is sharing its continuous exposure to the farmers towards organic farming and its importance in agriculture practice.

5. Evidence of Success:

• Medicinal plants cultivated in the garden are utilized by the faculties as a traditional medicine.
• Yield of vegetables is appreciable by the use of organic manure.
• Many college and school students visited vermicompost unit and gained knowledge about the same.
• After visiting our campus, vermicompost units have been established in three neighbouring institutions in our district under our guidance.
• Worms maintained in our unit is regularly supplied to the karandi and Perundurai Panchayat for their use.
• A number of farmers have benefitted by the awareness program on organic farming and have implemented it in their farms.

6. Problems Encountered & Resource Required:

Worms and plants maintenance is crucial due to water shortage during summer.

Best Practice 2:

Title:  Renewable Energy production and conservation 

Objective:

The main objective of the practice is

• To conserve non renewable energy source by using renewable energy (solar energy)
• To meet the power requirement of the campus through solar power

Context:

        Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using of an energy service to the minimal level. Energy conservation measures in buildings reduces the need for energy service from non renewable source and can result in increased environmental quality, national security and personal financial security. In this context institution has initiated the use of solar energy (renewable resource) in the campus.

Practice:

        The college has taken a lead in deploying rooftop solar powered system for electricity generation, thereby reducing the dependence on conventional power supply. There are 64 solar panels installed in our campus with a total capacity of 20KV. Nearly 30 - 40 units per day are generated from solar power. The power requirement of the college is about 7000units per month of which about 20% of the energy is being met from the solar generated power. 16 solar street lamps have also been installed and maintained in the campus separately.

Evidence of Success:

Solar panels connected to the power supply grid generate 20KV of solar electricity. This meets about nearly one fourth of the total power requirements of the campus. The solar street lamps are also successfully illuminated. Thus renewable energy source is used to minimize the non renewable energy. 

Problems encountered and Resource required:

• Cleaning of solar panels is a risky task since it may lead to damage of thee solar panels which are costly to repair.
• Maintenance of battery is also a risky affair.
