Kalakshetra 2018-20

Date: 15th De. 2018

Kalakshetra is a live project delivered by students in the MS 2 (Effective Execution) course. It started in with the 2009-11 batch and done projects involving plays with social messages, dances, rap, a capella singing, food courts etc. This year, the 2018-20 batch has to deliver the following:

1. The batch is broken into 12 groups. Each group shall grow vegetables and sell the produce to three segments: (a) Santripti (b) Faculty (c) Alumni during the alumni meet.
   Marks are based on the profits and/or sales that are made by the groups.
2. ​The following is the list of vegetables as well as quantity required by the mess for one meal.
   1. Beans 5 kg
   2. Carrot 5 kg
   3. Capsicum 5 Kg
   4. Spring Onion 5 kg
   5. Green Chilli 5 kg
   6. Fenugreek (Methi) 15 bunches
   7. Coriander 10 bunches
   8. Mint 5 Bunches
3. Stud​ents can grow only the vegetables mentioned above. They can product any quantity of any of the above products.
4. Not all of the above are required on the same day. Anything less than minimum quantity will not be accepted as it cannot be used. Perishability of the produce is also a concern. It would be apt to plan the timing of delivery with the mess-in-charge so that the menu can be created.
5. ​The buyers will determine the quality and reject if found unsuitable.
6. ​Once a sale is done, an invoice, a delivery challan and upon payment, a receipt should be created and countersigned by the buyer.
7. The crops hav​e to be grown in pots, so that production is not subject to weather and pests. Since Diwali holidays will occur in the middle of the project, the students need to ensure that the plants do not die and the areas kept clean. Untimely rains may also create problems. These pots can be kept in your rooms or in the courtyard in the centre of the hostels. They cannot be kept in the corridors or outside the hostels. Any such pots will be removed and groups penalised.
8. ​The students shall research how to do composting. They shall use all organic waste from the mess. They are not allowed to use vermi-culture and must use natural methods of composting.
9. During the Alumni meet, the students will create a “Mandi” for selling organic vegetables. Advertisement and prebooking of material can be done using the Kalakshetra page. This will be the final day of the project and all produce should be sold. After this, all material (pots, soil and plants) have to be safely disposed of, and the hostel revert to normal.
10. All persons who eat in the mess should be made aware which group is has supplied which vegetables on which day.

Around 20 senior students have volunteered to “incentivise” and monitor the production as well audit the finances of the groups.
