The Department of Management Studies organized a field trip to “Sensible Earth: Center for Sustainability” in Salvador de Mundo, Porvorim, Goa, for the First Year BBA (FS) Div A and B students on 27th September 2024. A total of 58 students (33 male, 25 female) participated in this educational visit, which was part of their Business Ethics and Sustainability course.
During the trip, students attended an interactive session at Sensible Earth, a center dedicated to promoting sustainable practices across various industries. The session emphasized the significance of integrating sustainability into business operations and daily life. In addition to the theoretical learning, the students were provided hands-on training as part of Sensible Earth’s #MaKaNaKaPlastics initiative, which is supported by the Goa Government. This initiative aims to reduce plastic usage by promoting alternatives like cloth bags.
The students were also guided through the process of making cloth bags and learned about the environmental benefits of replacing plastic with such sustainable materials. This initiative aims to reduce plastic usage and encourage the use of eco-friendly materials. Additionally, the students were also provided with hands-on training in screen printing on T-shirts, creating slogan that spread awareness about sustainability and environmental awareness.
Expected Outcome of the Activity:
The field trip provided students with practical insights into sustainable business practices, helping them grasp how sustainability can be applied in everyday life. This experience is expected to foster a deeper commitment to environmental responsibility among the participants.
