Day 3: Nature and the tribal community love each other deeply. Their culture, rooted in simplicity and purity of heart, teaches us the true meaning of happiness — “Nahi Nahire Khusi.”
In the lap of nature, they live with harmony, respect, and gratitude. The forests, hills, rivers, and soil are not just resources for them; they are family. Their songs, dances, and traditions reflect a strong bond with the environment. From them, we learn that real happiness does not come from material wealth, but from unity, sharing, and living close to nature.
Today’s experience reminds us that sustainable living and cultural values are the true treasures of life.

Day 2

Prabhat Pheri began with the melodious tune of “Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram”, accompanied by the golden sunlight and the pure morning breeze. In the beautiful hill-area village, the day started with peace and positivity.
Survey is a meaningful way to interact with people, understand their problems, and share their emotions.
The artisans, with mud in their hands, express the story of livelihoods through their creativity and hard work.
PRA is the unique identity of our subject, where we fully engage with the people and participate in their lives.
Evaluation and practice continued for tomorrow’s drama. It was truly a wonderful camp ........a real learning experience about the way to live.

“Road safety is not just a rule, it is a responsibility we all share.
Wearing a helmet protects not only the rider, but also the dreams of a family.
A moment of carelessness can cost a lifetime of regret.
Let us choose safety over speed and life over risk.

This awareness initiative is led by the students of the Department of Social Work, Fakir Mohan University, at Mitrapur on 21 January 2026.

District Mandia Divas 2025( ଜିଲ୍ଲାସ୍ତରୀୟ ମାଣ୍ଡିଆ ଦିବସ -୨୦୨୫) was a remarkable and enriching exposure for the students of Social Work. Listening to the inspiring success stories shared by progressive Mandia farmers motivated the students to promote “ Vocal for Local” cultivation practices. They also showed great enthusiasm to become entrepreneurs in Jaivika (organic) fertilizer and vermicompost production, empowering women, rural, and tribal communities towards sustainable livelihoods.

An interactive session with the Chief District Officer, (sj Tushar Kanti Tunga) & (sj Saroj ku. Giri). Prof. Gajendra prasad Behera (an expert in organic fertilizers (ଜୈବିକ ସାର ଓ ଖତ
