A Session on Imagination and Creativity
Burli a B.Tech scholar in computer science from BVBCET engineering college of Hubli. He is quite good in creative thinking and linking it with the reality of life.
All people are potential to think creative, create the solutions and to make changes within themselves that helps in the success of life. But it happens very less. Most people think the way they can change themselves and to make their own way only in the conditions when all other options stops to choose or in compulsion. Here I mean to say that every day is to do some that will add to your personality. Personality develops only when we are thinking creative and do constantly efforts.
This session in that I participated today was not a lecture to make students aware about their duties and responsibilities. But was more than that to think and act upon the individuals growth. There are many ways to do the same work but the way that can result better or make others to appreciate is called the best way of completing the task.
Always performance is not counted by results it is counted by process and strategy also to do the work. If we take an example of a class all students are given the same drawing to make but only some students are declared the best ones. Why.....
Because they make an image in to their mind about the drawing and then put it on paper in creative way. Here I mean to give this example is not to tell about the process of making a drawing but it is the way of getting good results by the people who apply creativity in to their actions and make a difference.
This session taken by Burli was aim on the same to be creative in doing the task.

An impact study on rain water harvesting
Water is critical for survival of human. Without water agriculture production is also not possible, by understanding this Water Literacy Foundation (WLF) started to make society literate about water harvesting and conservation through introducing and implementing water conservation methods. WLF introduced methods are functioning effectively and betters crop production. Methods are helpful in increasing ground water level and practicing agriculture in better way.
We did an impact study for monitoring and evaluation of rain water harvesting project in 7 villages of Gadag district to observe whether WLF methods have achieved desired results of increasing ground water level and yield through water harvesting/conservation or not.
We visited and observed last two years (2007-2008) work for our study because Deshpande Foundation funding to WLF since last two years. We selected 7 villages and select the beneficiaries through purposive sampling method. We did our impact study based on survey, observation and personal interviews methods. We did project implementation impact study and analyzed usefulness of project. We studied how WLF methods are helping farmer to improve their social status.
The indicators for the study include, no of works completed, Total number of villagers applying projects activities, Improvement in yield, involvement in different social economic activities, Peoples view on improvement of water level, number of Villagers benefited, contributions of farmers, Impact on farmers saving each year.
We recommend that these techniques of rain water harvesting shall be introduced to all farmers who are still not using, farmers committees shall be formed in all villages.
