Fun week " GREEN GLARES 2018" By M. Vineela, F.Y. B. Sc. (Agri)
From last year, our college began its fun week
tradition with its unique name "Green Glares"
which gives the students a platform to showcase
their talents and enjoy themselves to the fullest
for four days. The kind support of our teachers
and students had brought the event to the level of
success with the utmost fun and enjoyment all
through the programs, which had various
competitions in it. There were four days for our
fun week celebration which we began our
celebration on 14th February. As it was Valentine's
Day we kept our first date to the celebration of
love and togetherness. During this day we
expressed our love for our parents, teachers,
friends and also for our relatives.
1ST Day- Valentine's Day
Since it was our first day, first show, we began our
celebrations with the lighting of the traditional
brass lamp. Then we had ‘dumb charades’ (charade = farce, pantomime, parody, pretence, masquerade )
which was played with mentor-wise groups acting out a phrase. Next, we had ‘Fish Pond’ wherein the
students wrote some few lines about their college friends without revealing the name of either the author
or the target. This was very interesting as we got to know some fun facts about our classmates for which
Vineeta Kaja of F.Y. and Brijesh Phaldessai of S.Y. won the title of ‘Queen Fish’ and ‘King Fish’. Then we
conducted a ‘Campus Quiz’ wherein students were asked questions related to campus. The first day was a
lot of fun!
2nd Day- Characters Day
On this day, we had to imitate any of the characters of our
choice and act accordingly, some of them have acted like,
salesperson, drunkard and also as actors of yesteryears. My
friends Kavita , Krutika Jaggal etc. performed a dance which
was astonishing and added to the charm of the event. We
had many students who entertained us with their
performance and the winners were Brijesh Phaldessai, Sanil
Gaonkar and Akshay Sawant. In the end, we had the
treasure hunt in which the students had to participate along
with their mentors to hunt for the treasure. The
enthusiastic group led by Dr. Rakesh Kawale sir won the
treasure hunt.
3rd Day:- Retro Day
On this day we had to dress up like the people of Golden Era
the 1990s with the fashion of that era. We even had games
with the participation of the teachers, too. The Antakshari
(singing, with the cue from the last syllable of opponent’s
song), dumb charades, etc. It ended with some talent
competitions for students to display their talents like
singing, dancing, monologue and some talents that may
otherwise lie hidden.
4th Day:- Traditional Day
This day all students
were dressed up in the
traditional attire of
different states. It
started with the dance
performances by
students. In between the
dances, a Quiz was
conducted with MCQs
(Multiple Choice
Questions) based on agriculture plus general knowledge. This
was followed by some outstanding dance performances and
then the final quiz. Andrea and her group pipped Shashank and his group by the skin of their teeth. The
last day ended with our Director, Fr. Allwyn D’Souza, guiding all students and encouraging them to
participate in different cultural programs as one can show their hidden talents in cultural activities where
fun and entertainment is unlimited.

Seminar on azolla, hydroponics and fodder production By:- Kavita Pujari (F.Y.)
On 17 Feb a new initiative was taken by ASDS department to spread awareness about azolla and hydroponics fodder
production in Goa, as the state lags behind in green fodder production, Azolla and hydroponics production not only
increases fertility but also helps in building high nutrient content in animals and it was made successful by the
presentations of Joyd Simoes, Kavita and Dr. Harshal Wadatkar .
The introduction was given by Joyd about classification of different types of fodders that are found and used in Goa which
includes green fodders, dry fodders, silages, concentrates, feed supplements and feed additives. This was followed by the
presentation of Kavita on scope and importance of azolla as protein supplement and hydroponics for green fodder
production. Finally, Harshal Sir summed up the role of azolla and hydroponics in dairy feed.
Friendship By: Ruth BabySai Maheshvari (F.Y.)
True friends are really bestowed to someone special in the life after hard works. Real friendship is the true relationship of
two or more people where only trust exists without any demand.
Friends are very important in life of everyone as they play a great role in standing by someone in need by giving love, care
and emotional support. Some people successfully carry their childhood friendship through their whole life while some
break in between due to misunderstanding, lack of time or other problems.
Friends can of both types: good and bad. Good friends lead us good path whereas bad friends on bad path. Hence, we
should be careful while choosing friends in life. We need someone special in our life to share our feelings (happy or sad),
to talk to someone, to dispel our loneliness, to make us laugh and make us feel wanted. In the good company of our
friends, we get motivation to do even the impossible things and it becomes easy to tide over bad times cheerfully.
