The Nature Club of KARE conducted an event titled, “Eco Odyssey” (A journey through
the heart of Kochi, Kerala) on 09.11.2024 and 10.11.2024. On day 1 (09.11.2024), we reached
Fort Kochi. The port town of Cochin also referred to as the Queen of the Arabian Sea, is a
cosmopolitan city on the southwest Malabar coast of South India. The city is the commercial
capital of the state of Kerala where a lot of people come over for business, trade, education, and
tourism. Being the case, we could find a large number of floating population in Cochin. Cochin
is divided into two: The Old Kochi which is often known as Fort Kochi where the colonial
powers had their settlements and the new part of the city often referred to as the Ernakulam city.
Ernakulam city works more kind of a commercial capital for trade and business whereas Fort
Kochi was the commercial capital of the colonial powers as they had the port in Fort Cochin.
Second, we visited Vascodagama Square. Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala, the last port
of Vasco Da Gama, where you will find synagogues, mosques, churches and temples side by
side, is a place with a fascinating history.
The huge cantilevered fishing net, the Chinese fishing nets, seen here is a legacy of its
spellbinding past. The nets, set up on teak and bamboo poles, were brought by one of the first
visitors to the Malabar Coast, the traders from the court of Kublai Khan. An ideal place to watch
fishermen use these nets is the Vasco da Gama square, a narrow promenade along the beach. The
square, which has numerous stalls serving fresh delicious seafood, tender coconut and so on, is
also perfect for a nice, relaxed evening. Then, we finished our journey in first day with DJ
Boating. The students were exposed their dancing talent according to the music played in
Boating. All were satisfied with the arrangements and also they had an experience of beauty of
nature at sun set timing.
On Day 2 (10.11.2024), we started our day at 5.45 a.m. towards Vypin Beach. Vypin or
Vypin Island is one of the groups of islands which form the city of Kochi and Ernakulam. It is
just north of Fort Kochi and easily accessed by ferry or road. It is an elongated island, about 27
km long and less than 2 km wide at its widest. It is connected to mainland Kochi by a series of
bridges known as the Goshree Bridge which is about 3 km long and touches two other islands.Another way to reach the south end of Vypin Island is by a ferry. There are ferries from Fort Kochi, Bolghatty Island and Ernakulam on the mainland. All the ferries offer scenic rides on the Vembanad Lake backwaters. We crossed over on the Vypin-Fort Kochi ‘Jankar’ ferry with our car, and the crossing took barely 10 minutes, although we had to wait for about 15 minutes to board it. The drive along Vypin Island is very scenic, although it is supposed to be one of the most densely populated islands in the world. One the western side is the Arabian Sea, and on the east is the scenic backwater. Both sides are lined with pretty palm trees. There is a lighthouse and some pristine beaches lining the seaside, Cherai Beach and Kuzhupilly Beach being the most popular. There are many seaside resorts and restaurants as well on the beach front. It is worth taking a ferry trip to Vypin Island f you are visiting Kochi or Ernakulam for sight-seeing. Finally we started our journey towards Hills Palace Museum of Cochin. The Hill Palace is the largest archaeological museum in Kerala. It was built in the year 1865 and was once the Imperial Administrative offices and official residence of the Maharaja of Cochin. This is located at Tripunithura just 10+ kms from Kochi city. The architecture and construction of palace is very good. The floors in some rooms are very beautiful and still smooth and shiny. In addition, there is a Children’s park and a Deer/Sambar park and a big T Rex Statue. Dr. G. Thamaraiselvi, Faculty Co-ordinator, Green Army Club has made all the arrangements.

Annual ReportAnnual Report of Nature Club |
Bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, are increasingly under
threat from human activities. Pollination is, however, a fundamental process for the survival of our
ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, entirely, or at least in
part, on animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global
agricultural land. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are key to
conserving biodiversity.
To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the Nature club, KARE celebrated the World Honey Bee day as Beatrix
2023 on 16 th September 2023.
The goal is to strengthen measures aimed at protecting bees and other pollinators, which
