Course Objectives/Course Description

 

Elements of Fieldwork is designed as a course that equips undergraduates for fieldwork relevant to research in life sciences. It aims to expose students to the rigours of fieldwork and teach some of the general methods used by field researchers not only in life sciences, but also ecology and geography. In that sense, the stress is on a broad interdisciplinary understanding of field, and practical knowledge to undertake outdoor research.

The course is divided into five units, each comprising an element of nature – earth, water, fire (energy), air and sky (space). Together they expose students to different aspects of the environment. Earth is all about different terrains and their role in supporting biodiversity. The classes will include understanding different geographical features such as forests, rocky surfaces, wetlands, built-up spaces and drylands - through remote sensing images, maps and field observation. Water looks at  different forms and types of water, their significance to life, and water conservation. Fire deals with conventional and renewable energy sources -  starting from sunlight. Wind looks at wind flow, measurement, wind energy and effects of wind on the environment. Sky is all about understanding, mapping and  measuring space and planning its use in nature conservation. The field activities will include observation of  local weather, and an appreciation of the campus biodiversity, seasons and environmental dynamics.

While exposing students to observation and investigation of each of these elements, the course equips them with skill sets required for field study methods relevant to life sciences and ecology.

 

Course Outcome

CO1: 1. Practical learning of the basics of fieldwork - methods, tool, and safe practices

CO2: 2. A detailed understanding of the broader contexts of life sciences field research

CO3: 3. An appreciation of how climate change impacts the environment in different ways

Course Description

 

Rural India comprises 66.46% of India’s population and contributes to a large portion of India’s GDP by way of agriculture, services, skilled and non-skilled labour.  Rural India suffers from socio-economic distress due to several factors, small land holding, rain dependent agriculture, and lack of alternative sources of income, migration to urban centers and due to several sociological factors. 

Rural India in its diverse geographies has a huge potential to provide solutions to some of the gravest global challenges pertaining to environment and sustainable development and which remains largely untapped.  This calls for a focused approach in exploring the potential opportunities through a scientific approach of critical thinking and creativity, pro-active engagement of rural communities, creating effective structures to implement and create global visibility for the proprietary products and services created. Such an approach will substantially mitigate socio-economic distress in rural communities by providing them income generating opportunities by engaging social enterprises and also contribute to the sustainability goals of the UN.

The course of Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship for students of English Language and Literature  seeks to sensitise students with an on field immersion with rural India and explore possibilities for enterprise through case studies on innovative rural enterprises.  The course seeks to apply their finer eye for aesthetics and culture and
