Awareness Program:
- This Awareness program will be conducted mainly to the Students community in schools and also to some interested Public. This program will raise the Spark in their mind, about their lifestyle and need for Sparrows.

Wild life photography Exhibition:
- The photos should have the contents of wild animals particularly Sparrows and preferably in natural settings.
- The exhibition is being organized in any one of the schools which signed an MOU with KOODUGAL.
- Students from various schools are brought together to view the photos and explanations will be given. This also provides a platform for the students to exhibit their photos.
Organizing Rally:
- Rally will help you create a strong campaign that will increase community awareness of Sparrow Conservation.
- This event is targeting a member near the schools where the nominal sparrow counts are in and around. It makes the most sense to hold your rally near their school.
- Rallies are often held during working hours on any important conservation days when there is the best chance of getting the media and the attention of People.
- In the rally, during the time when the day turns out the most people, a Speech will be given by guest invitees about sparrow conservation.
Establishing Sparrow Sanctuary:
- Establishing a sanctuary for sparrows in your schools has many benefits. Birding gives us a chance to experience nature in a world that has become far too crowded and see it up close in our own school. Watching the antics of the sparrows and other songbirds has a calming effect and may help to relieve stress.
- Attracting beautiful sparrows to your yard isn’t as hard as you might think. If you simply provide the things they need, there is a very good chance they will quickly find their way to school. In this program, you’ll learn some simple ideas for turning your backyard into a Sparrow habitat.
- Sparrow Sanctuary is educational, for children and adults. The whole school can get involved, providing an ecological learning opportunity that is hard to experience when birds are dispersed throughout the schools and fields.
Inaugurating Sparrow Clubs:
- Sparrow clubs in schools will encourage students to get involved in meaningful environmental projects and events. It’s a platform for students to reach out to their parents and neighbours in order to influence and engage them in environmental behaviour. It will allow students to go beyond the boundaries of a syllabus or curriculum to investigate environmental concepts and behaviour.
- Every school’s Sparrow Club could be coordinated by any inspired instructor at the school and a group of inspired students who will be supported by a KOODUGAL coordinator in learning about the environment and taking action to better their immediate surroundings. They will also offer a fantastic opportunity to help students raise awareness, develop habits, and engage in real-world experiences in ways that the classroom and curriculum will not afford. The sparrow Club could be coordinated by any inspired instructor at the school.
Biogas:
Humans strive to survive. A village is the first birthplace of a striving community, life, as well as living, seems so hard in the village compared to modern urban life. It applies to all necessary aspects as the village is the primary source of the essential need-production province. But it lacks all the prerequisites for an everyday life to be lived.
Biogas is also known as Gobar gas. The gases produced by the decomposition of organic matter include municipal waste, plant material, agricultural waste, cow dung, human waste, sewage, food waste, and green waste. The end product of biogas is methane.
Skill Development Program (String art)
Mary Everest Boole invented string art at the end of the 19th century to make mathematical ideas accessible to students. In the late 1960s, it was popularised as a decorative craft through kits and books.
Any art and craft works give everyone a sense of achievement and allow them to take pride in their efficient work, which builds CONFIDENCE. We get to try new things and also develop their “self-regulation skills” (e.g. when waiting for fixing to complete the nails, threading, painting, glue to dry, and final designs to come). This helps to develop PATIENCE, which is all we need.
Someone spent time making it by hand instead of just pushing a button and letting a machine do it. So encourage this kind of work for these handmade wooden arts (reducing plastics which gives great pleasure to nature). Crafting gives you happiness, good health, and creativity. If you are happy, healthy and not stressed out as you create, you become more patient, generous and kind to others. Crafting also encourages you to share what you create with others.
விவசாயம் / Farming
- கூடுகளின் – விவசாயம்
எங்கள் *கூடுகள்* என்கின்ற குடும்பத்தில் எதிர்பாராமல் நடந்த ஒரு நிகழ்வின் எதிரொளியாக உருவானது *கூடுகள் விவசாயம்* என்ற மற்றுமொரு சிறிய புதிய முயற்சி. - கூடுகள் குடும்பத்தில் ஒருவருக்கு நடந்த ஒரு விபத்து, விபத்திலிருந்து மீண்டு வரும் காலகட்டங்களில் மாற்றுத்திறனாளிகள் எந்த அளவுக்கு இன்னல்களை தினந்தோறும் சந்திப்பார்கள் என்பதை உணர்வு பூர்ணமாக அனுபவித்துள்ளோம். கூடுகள் அமைப்பில் அனைவரின் ஆலோசனைக்கு பின்பு இன்றுமுதல் மாற்றுத்திறனாளியாக இருக்கும் மனிதர்களுக்கு தங்களது சொந்த நிலத்தில் விவசாயம் செய்து கிடைக்கும் பொருட்களை முடிந்த அளவிற்கு பகிர்ந்து கொள்கிறோம் என்பதை மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறோம்.
