Keynotes of Activity:

Dr. Ganesh Mogaveer, our HOD gave us the brief information regarding the village, the

village people and our behavior towards the village people. We started our journey by bus

no.8 to the village Kallamundkur at 8am. It was a warm place with good bunch of people. We

were instructed to cover each and every house of the area allotted for the respective groups

and make them aware about the various necessities of our country nowadays. It includes

Aadhar card, Passport, CBSE education, EPFO, Pay Income tax, PMAY, Pan card and Bharat

gas. We had a good time with the people but on the first day we had interactions more with

educated people in the village. They almost knew about the technologies we were about to

aware them but then also we completed our work successfully. We also had good

conversations and we discussed about their queries about their life in the village. Later, we

reached our college at 5 in the afternoon and we quickly rushed to our classes and completed

our written report and discussed about the plan about the next day.

On Day 2, we had the same survey work in a different place with different villagers. We

started our journey in the same bus no.8 and we found our destination was Niddodi, a place in

the village Kallamundkur. As the first day, our faculties made us into groups and advised us

to set our way of survey in the Google Earth app. Niddodi was less advanced than

Kallamundkur. Starting, the people here were not ready to listen what we have to convey but

later we managed to aware them about the various necessities of our country like pan card,

Aadhar card, passport, google pay, Digi locker, online gas booking etc. Compared to the

villagers we met on the previous day, the villagers here had less knowledge about the

technologies. We had our lunch from a temple which helped us discuss with villagers about

the problems they had in the village. Later, we reached to the college and started writing our

written report and the plan for the next day.
