INTRODUCTION

Lumpy skin disease is caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), which belongs to the
genus Capri poxvirus, a part of the poxviridae family (smallpox and monkeypox viruses are also a part
of the same family). The LSDV shares antigenic similarities with the sheep pox virus (SPPV) and the
goat pox virus (GTPV) or is similar in the immune response to those viruses. It is not a zoonotic virus,
meaning the disease cannot spread to humans. It is a contagious vector-borne disease spread by vectors
like mosquitoes, some biting flies, and ticks and usually affects host animals like cows and water
buffaloes. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), infected animals
shed the virus through oral and nasal secretions which may contaminate common feeding and water
troughs. Thus, the disease can either spread through direct contact with the vectors or through
contaminated fodder and water. Studies have also shown that it can spread through animal semen during
artificial insemination.
LSD affects the lymph nodes of the infected animal, causing the nodes to enlarge and appear like lumps
on the skin, which is where it derives its name from. The cutaneous nodules, 2–5 cm in diameter, appear
on the infected cattle’s head, neck, limbs, udder, genitalia, and perineum. The nodules may later turn
into ulcers and eventually develop scabs over the skin. The other symptoms include high fever, sharp
drop in milk yield, discharge from the eyes and nose, salivation, loss of appetite, depression, damaged
hides, emaciation (thinness or weakness) of animals, infertility, and abortions. The incubation period or
the time between infection and symptoms is about 28 days according to the FAO, and 4 to 14 days
according to some other estimates.
The morbidity of the disease varies between two to 45% and mortality or rate of death is less than 10%,
however, the reported mortality of the current outbreak in India is up to 15%, particularly in cases being
reported in the western part (Rajasthan) of the country.

Cause
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is caused by the infection of cattle or water buffalo with the poxvirus
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). This virus belongs to the genus Capri poxvirus, which also includes
Sheep pox virus and Goat pox virus. Symptoms of LSD infection in cattle include fever, lumpy skin
lesions, and occasional death. Infection is spread through direct contact with infected animals and
indirectly via arthropod vectors, infected animal products, and contaminated equipment.

Prevention
To prevent lumpy skin disease, it is important to practice good biosecurity measures. This
includes minimizing the movement of animals, avoiding contact with infected areas, vaccinating of
susceptible animals, and use of proper management strategies such as the separation of healthy and
infected animals. Vaccinating animals before they enter a new area is an important control measure and
should be done by the relevant national control plans. Slaughter campaigns may also be necessary in
some cases. It is also important to dispose of any infected animals or appropriately affected tissues in
order to avoid the further spread of the disease. Vaccination is recognized as the most effective means
of controlling LSDV. A live homologous vaccine containing a Neethling-like strain of LSDV has been
developed and is widely recommended as the best form of protection against the virus. This vaccine is
highly effective in protecting sheep and goats from LSDV infection and may also be used to prevent the
spread of the virus in flocks. The vaccine is safe and easy to administer, and is highly effective in
controlling the disease. Vaccination is the key to successful LSDV control and should be considered an
essential part of any control program.

Treatment
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the spread of the virus. Vaccines provide
immunity against the virus by prompting the body to develop antibodies which can then fight off the
virus if it is encountered. Vaccines are available for both adults and children, and their use is highly
recommended to prevent infection. Vaccination is essential for controlling the spread of the virus, as
there is no other treatment available. Vaccines are safe and effective, and have helped to dramatically
reduce the incidence of the virus in many countries.

Secondary infections in the skin can be treated with a variety of medications, including Non-Steroidal
Anti-Inflammatories (NSAIDs) and antibiotics, both topical and injectable. NSAIDs can reduce
inflammation and pain, while antibiotics can help combat the infection and speed up the healing
process. Depending on the severity of the infection, your doctor may recommend one or both
treatments. In some cases, they may also suggest other treatments, such as corticosteroids or
phototherapy. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and take all medications as prescribed
to ensure the best possible outcome

Summary
Mass awareness campaigns are to be taken up to make the public aware of the disease and report
to the veterinary authority immediately when suspected cases are detected. This will help in the
prevention and control of LSD.

Regular training and sensitization of veterinarians including awareness to animal owners and other
stakeholders should be enhanced on the clinical presentation of the disease along with surveillance
strategy and control measures.
Animal Husbandry Department should maintain proper liaison with police and border agencies to check
illegal entries of cattle from neighboring countries (Wherever required).

In conclusion, LSD is a serious disease that affects cattle and leads to nodules in the skin. The best way
to protect against this disease is through vaccination, as it is the most effective form of prevention.
Additionally, managing insect vectors is also important to reduce the risk of transmission. With
effective control measures, LSD can be kept under control and avoid losses for farmers. In conclusion,
the spread of lumpy skin disease in Europe is a stark reminder of how emerging diseases can have a
devastating impact on animal health, the economy, and agriculture. Countries need to remain vigilant
and constantly monitor the emergence of new diseases, as well as ensure that preventative measures are
in place. Only by being proactive can countries protect their livestock from the impact of such diseases
and avoid the economic losses that can result from an outbreak.

The central Government of India has launched many schemes from time to time to eradicate the
problem of open defecation from rural areas. These schemes include the Central Rural Sanitation
Program in 1986, Total Sanitation Campaign in 1999, Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan in 2012, and Swachh
Bharat Abhiyan in 2014.

All these mentioned Schemes of the Central government were focused on completely removing open
defecation from rural and urban areas by constructing sufficient amounts of toilets to maintain proper
hygiene, especially in rural areas.

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was launched on 2nd October 2014 by then Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi
in the presence of other respected and important personalities. It is usually called Swachh Bharat
Abhiyan and is just a replacement for Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan. Like previous Campaigns, Swachh
Bharat Abhiyan was also aimed at maintaining proper sanitation and hygiene in both rural and urban
areas of the country.

The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was further dividedinton two sub-categories as “Swachh Bharat Mission
(Rural/Gramin) and Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban/Shahari). As their name suggests, Swachh Bharat
Mission (Gramin) would be applicable in rural areas only whereas the Swachh Bharat Mission would
focus on urban areas.

Bring about an improvement in the general quality of life in rural areas. Accelerate sanitation coverage
in rural areas to achieve the vision of Swachh Bharat by 2019 with all Gram Panchayats in the country
attaining Nirmal status. Motivate communities and Panchayati Raj Institutions promoting sustainable
sanitation facilities through awareness creation and health education. Encourage cost-effective and
appropriate technologies for ecologically safe and sustainable sanitation Develop community-managed
environmental sanitation systems focusing on solid & liquid waste management for overall cleanliness
in rural areas.

CONCLUSION

It was a great time spent with the villagers. We have shared important information that they can
implement in their village to fola low better garbage disposal systems. It was a valuable time spent
with villagers. We got to know about certain things that are unknown to us. We have improved our
communication skills, time management, and other skills after performing this activity.
INTRODUCTION

Water conservation is an important practice to protect the environment and ensure the sustainable use
of our freshwater resources. It includes activities such as reducing water waste, reusing greywater, and
improving water efficiency in households, industries, and businesses. Additionally, water
conservation efforts involve protecting natural water sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater,
and implementing water-wise irrigation practices. It is also important to consider water conservation
when designing new infrastructure and buildings. Finally, educating the public about the importance
of water conservation and how to implement it is an important component of any water conservation
plan. With a concerted effort from everyone, we can help conserve our natural water resources for
current and future generations. Water conservation is an important part of protecting our valuable
natural resources. Population growth, household size, and affluence all have an impact on how much
water is used, and climate change has exacerbated the pressure on natural water resources. To ensure
the long-term availability of water, many countries have implemented policies designed to reduce
water use and waste and to improve water management practices. These policies involve reducing
water loss, avoiding damage to water quality, and making more efficient use of available water
resources. By taking these steps, we can help to ensure that our water resources are available for
generations to come. In addition to providing public outreach campaigns and tiered water rates, local
governments can also implement technological solutions to aid in water conservation. This includes
installing water meters to track household water usage, developing new water-efficient fixtures, and
utilizing smart irrigation systems to reduce water usage in agricultural settings. In commercial
settings, water-efficient fixtures and water-cooled air-conditioning systems can be utilized to reduce
water usage. Additionally, water recycling systems can be utilized to reuse wastewater for non-
potable uses. These technological solutions can be implemented to reduce water consumption and
waste, allowing for more sustainable and efficient water usage.

AIMS

The Aims of water conservation efforts include:

1. Ensuring the availability of water by not exceeding the natural replacement rate.

2. Energy conservation by reducing electricity consumption for water management.

3. Habitat conservation by minimizing human water usage.

4. Implementing water-saving technologies such as rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, and water-
efficient fixtures.

5. Educating the public about water conservation and the importance of preserving freshwater
habitats.

6. Promoting the use of recycled water for non-potable uses.

7. Supporting research and development of new technologies related to water conservation and
management.

Agricultural applications

Soil moisture sensors and automated irrigation systems can be used to ensure that water is applied to
crops in the most efficient way possible. These systems can also reduce water losses due to runoff and
evaporation, allowing for more accurate water application. Additionally, water management practices
such as precision irrigation, the use of mulches, and soil and water conservation measures can be used
to minimize the amount of water needed for irrigation. By using these technologies and practices,
farmers can ensure that their crops receive the optimal amount of water, while also protecting
groundwater resources. Water conservation is becoming increasingly important as water resources
become scarcer and more expensive. The use of efficient irrigation systems is one way to reduce
water use and conserve precious resources. Overhead irrigation, using center-pivot or lateral-moving
sprinklers, has the potential for a much more equal and controlled distribution pattern. Drip irrigation
is the most expensive and least-used type, but offers the ability to deliver water directly to the roots of
plants with minimal losses. This method can save up to 30,000 gallons of water per year when
replacing traditional irrigation systems. Additionally, there are inexpensive and effective methods,
such as the use of soaking hoses, that can even be submerged in the growing medium to minimize
evaporation. By implementing efficient irrigation techniques, gardeners can help conserve water and
protect the environment.

Quality Education SDG Goal aims at ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and
promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete
free primary and secondary schooling by 2030. It also aims to provide equal access to affordable
vocational training, to eliminate gender and wealth disparities and achieve universal access to a
quality higher education.
Estimates show that, among those 59 million children, 1 in 5 of them had dropped out and recent
trends suggest that 2 in 5 of out-of-school children will never set foot in a classroom. The Su -
saible Development Goals clearly recognise that this gap must be closed, even as the interna-
tional community more explicitly addresses the challenges of quality and equity in education.

More girls than ever before are going to school. Not only do they learn to read and write, but
each year that they remain in school after the primary level, reduces their chance of marrying at
too young an age. It increases their prospects for employment, health and overall well-being.
Girls and women have an equal right to a quality education and learning throughout all phases of
their lives. Despite progress, as many as 48.1 per cent of girls remain out of school in some re-
gions. Gender gaps in primary and secondary enrolment rates have nearly closed, on average.
Yet 15 million girls are not in primary school right now, compared to 10 million boys. In adoles -
cence, higher numbers of girls often drop out of secondary school for reasons including early
pregnancy and the expectation that they should contribute to household work.

In schools of Begur area, keeping in consideration of above mentioned SDG GOALS Such as
Quality Education and Gender Equality. We students of Sri Sairam College of Engineering
involved in awareness during year 2022.With the help of School authorities an awareness pro-
gram was conducted to encourage them to become educated and benefits of that.SDG4 aims to
ensure all children are able to complete free primary and secondary education, while improving
equal and affordable access to vocational training, and pre-primary and higher education.
Education is indispensable for the achievement of sustainable development. A sizeable pool of ed-
ucated, entrepreneurial, and industrial human resources has long been recognized as a necessary
precondition for long-term development and economic success. It is also a crucial basis for creat-
ing the necessary opportunities for young people to enter the formal economy, either by finding
employment or pursuing entrepreneurship. If sustainable development goals are to be achieved, it
is also vital that people acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable develop-
ment. This comes through education about sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality,
peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and cultural diversity and culture’s contribution to sus-
tainable development.

Benefits for the activity center:

 The school at which we performed the activity lacked charts on the walls of its corridors and
classrooms so , with the help of the teachers in the school we prepared around 15 charts which
showcased knowledge .
 We also performed live and safe science experiments with the students under their teacher’s
guidance.
 We engaged the students in discussions about the importance of computer knowledge in
today’s world.
We explained the importance of keeping the environments of the school clean.
 We were asked to assist subject teachers and help clear doubts of the students.
It was a really fun and entertaining to interact with students and teach them a few subject topics
and make them understand the subject better.

Conclusion:

More than half of children that have not enrolled in school live in sub-Saharan Africa, which
makes it the region with the largest number of out-of-schoolchildren in the world. And this re-
gion has a very young population so it will have to provide basic education to 444 million chil -
dren between the ages of 3 and 15 in 2030, which is 2.6 times the numbers enrolled today.
By this program, we acquired an opportunity to involve in the awareness towards Quality
Education in the Rural areas. From this Experience we conclude that Everyone in India has the
fundamental right to quality education and to overcome the barriers of gender difference, an edu -
cation one that helps them to acquire basic literacy and numeracy, enjoy learning without fear and
feel valued and included irrespective of where they come from.
