Eco club organized field visit at Bodenahalli from 10th November 2025 to 17th November 2025. 20 students and 2 faculty members actively participated to bring an awareness on chemical fertilizers, pollution , organic farming and drip irrigation for the farmers.
Impacts
– Health Risks: Respiratory issues, cancers from pesticide residues in food/water.
– Soil Degradation: Loss of nutrients, reduced fertility, harms earthworms.
– Biodiversity Loss: Pesticides kill pollinators, disrupt ecosystems
DAY 1:
10/11/2025
The Eco Club members interacted with farmers and discussed about the chemical fertilizers, pesticides and their impacts on human health.
DAY 2
13/11/2025
After harvest, farmers often burn leftover straw, releasing toxic smoke (particulate matter, CO₂, methane) that worsens air pollution, This practice harms health, reduces soil fertility, and kills beneficial insects.
DAY 3
14/11/2025
Fertilizers (urea) and pesticides boost yields but contaminate soil, groundwater, and harm biodiversity. Excess nitrates leach into water, causing “blue baby syndrome” and killing aquatic life.
DAY 4
15/11/2025
Paddy needs lots of water and straining groundwater.
DAY 5
17/11/2025
Flooded fields emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change.
