Prakruthi – a voluntary group of Techies, under the aegis of the Centre for Innovation in Science & Social Action (CISSA), NATANA, Tejus and Technopark, Trivandrum, which aims to promote green and healthy living among Technopark employees. The vision of the group is “To empower people to adopt a healthy living and to promote a sustainable co-existence with nature.”
The rationale of our existence has stemmed from the fact that Technopark crowd forms one of the largest consumers of ‘Fast Food’ in the State and also tops the ‘Life-style diseases’ chart in Kerala. In this backdrop, it is all the more imperative to educate our fellow Technoparkians on the ill-effects of an unhealthy lifestyle and empower them to live a greener, healthy life, in harmony with the nature.
The following broad activities have been envisaged under the group –
(a) Promote ‘Green Food’ (b) Encourage ‘Organic Farming’ (c) Propagate ‘Green Living’ (d) Support ‘Green Ideas’ (e) Propagate ‘Recycling’ & ‘Waste Management’
Prakruthi is planing to kick-start their Phase.1 activities from June 2015 onwards with a launch program in Technopark, which would include setting up of kiosks that would familiarise Technopark employees with the tips and techniques of organic farming, distribution of high quality seeds and saplings, sale of organic produce etc. There will be periodical training programmes for Technopark employees with hands-on sessions on Organic Farming, Farm Visits and various awareness sessions. Prakruthi have tie ups with voluntary organisations including CISSA, Horticorp, Kerala Agriculture University etc. under whose aegis we will be conducting such sessions.
Prakruti welcome volunteers who are willing to be part of their “Green Brigade”. Like www.facebook.com/prakruthitp or by mail with the details to prakruthitechnopark@gmail.com.
