As part of the experiential learning tour, the students visited the netted house and agricultural zones within the community. They gained insights into natural farming practices, efficient drip irrigation systems, crop planning methods, and the role of sustainable agriculture in supporting a self-reliant lifestyle.
To understand the community's energy management systems, the students explored the solar panel installations in the parking area. They learned how Organo Antharam functions as a net-zero energy community, where renewable energy generated on-site is designed to meet the requirements of both residential homes and common facilities.

Biogas Plant:
At the biogas plant, the students observed how organic waste and cattle dung are converted into clean, renewable energy. They gained insight into waste-to-energy systems that help reduce environmental impact while promoting resource efficiency.
God's Own Office:
The visit to God's Own Office provided an understanding of how sustainable architecture can seamlessly blend with nature. The students explored how the space serves as a living example of the Sapthapatha principles through eco-friendly design and mindful resource use.
