As part of their Environmental Studies curriculum, 82 first-year BCA students from St.
Joseph’s College, Hassan, embarked on an insightful field visit to Jenukallu Gudda, near
Sakleshpura.
Guided by Mr. Mahesh Nayaka, the field trip aimed to enhance ecological literacy through
direct exposure to the rich biodiversity of the Western Ghats, while also helping students
understand the impacts of pollution and the challenges of conservation in fragile
ecosystems.
The experience sparked a stronger sense of environmental responsibility and awareness
among the students, encouraging them to be proactive stewards of nature in both thought
and action.
The event took place: 28-29 April 2025.
