audience. Public speaking is commonly understood as formal, face-to-face, speaking
of a single person to a group of listeners.

enthusiastic and energetic.

public speaker. Improve the quality of your voice through diaphragmatic
breathing; breathing from your diaphragm instead of your chest. This type of
breathing will allow you to better control the following aspects of your voice:

(i) Tone (quality)

(ii) Pitch (high or low)

(iii) Volume of your voice

Place your hands at your sides or clasped in front of you, unless you are
making a gesture to emphasise a point.

(i) Speak slowly and deliberately. Here‟s a tip: it will probably seem
too slow for you.

you are saying.

public speaker is hard to understand.

are saying and is distracting to the audience.

Speaking in a monotone is a sure way to lose the interest of your
listeners. Listen to podcasts of upbeat public speakers and try to
imitate how they talk.

audience. Public speaking is more than standing in front of a group and
talking.

slowly at a controlled pace and touch the surface underneath. The thrill in this sport
is to see the ground coming closer and closer as you descend down and feel the
wind in your hair and with no support besides a rope, which one is holding. It is also
known as fast roping.

Q2. What is Rock Climbing?

A2. Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across
natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a
formation or the endpoint of a pre-defined route without falling. Rock climbing
competitions have objectives of completing the route in the quickest possible time or
the farthest along an increasingly difficult route.

Q3. What is Parasailing?

A3. Parasailing is also known as Parascending or Parakiting. It is a recreational

kiting activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle or a boat while attached to a
specially designed canopy wing that reminds one of a parachute, known as parasail
wing. On land or over water the manned kite‟s moving anchor may be a car, truck or
a boat.

Q4. What is Cycling and Trekking?

A4. Cycling expedition refers to cycling over long distances prioritising pleasure
and endurance over utility or speed. Cycling can range from a single day ride to
multi-day trips. Trekking is walking for a number of days, usually on uncharted paths,
in challenging environments which are likely to be hilly, mountainous or jungle. The
Himalayan routes are famous for attracting a large number of trekkers.

Q5. List out the items that are essential for trekking?

A5. Before setting out for a trek, following hints and tips are required to be
considered during the planning phase:-

(a) Keep toilet items handy. This will ensure that no germs/infection enters
the body through consumption of water or food.

(b) Carry all possible essentials in the ruck sack with the expedition. Heavy
items could be ferried by road.

(c) Carry sleeping mattress or durries for night halts.

(d) Carry adequate woollens for the period of the trek.

 65

(e) Take off your shoes at drink and lunch halts. This will give relaxation to
your feet.

(f) Take small steps when ascending up slope.

(g) Ensure good consumption of water at regular intervals.

(h) Carry essential medicines to cater for minor injuries or disorders.

(j) Acclimatisation is a must for high altitude marches.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND CONSERVATION (EA)

CHAPTER EA – I

WATER AND ENERGY CONSERVATION

Q1. Why is Water Conservation important?

A1. Water is a very important and precious resource for life. Water Conservation
covers policies, strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable
resource, to protect the water environment and to meet current and future human
demands. No other natural resource has had such an overwhelming response on the
history of mankind as much as Water. Water conservation should not be considered
an option any longer but is an inescapable necessity.

Q2. What are the methods of Water conservation?

A2. The methods of Water conservation are:-

Indoors Outdoors
(a) Water efficiency flush (a) Agriculture : Drip irrigation methods
(b) Shower low flow taps (b) Industries :Install water recycling
(c) Close taps while brushing , system
washing
(d) Using water used for washing for
lawn through channels

Q3. What is Rainwater harvesting?

A3. Rainwater harvesting means capturing the runoff of the rainwater in our own
house, village, town or city. It basically means accumulation and storage of
rainwater for reuse, before it reaches the aquifer. Utilisation includes water for
garden, livestock, irrigation, etc. In many places, the water collected is just redirected
to a deep pit with percolation.

Q4. What are the advantages of Rainwater harvesting?

A4. The harvested water can be used for drinking water also, if the storage is a
tank that can be accessed and cleaned when needed.

(a) To arrest ground water decline and augment ground water table

(b) To beneficiate water quality in aquifers

(c) To conserve surface water runoff during monsoon

(d) To reduce soil erosion

(e) To inculcate a culture of water conservation

Q5. What is Energy Conservation?

A5. Energy conservation refers to various ways and methods of reducing energy
consumption by economizing on the use of a particular source of energy. Energy
conservation is the management of processes and policies, designed to reduce
energy usage. Energy conservation can be achieved only by reducing consumption
of energy by, either preventing wasteful use of energy or by using energy efficient
products.

Q6. What are the Energy Conservation Measures?

A6. Some of the Energy Conservation Measures are:-

(a) Energy Saving Building Designs.

(b) Use of Energy Efficient Equipment / Implements.

(c) Public Lighting.

(d) Usage Habits.

(e) Public Transport System.

(f) Energy Efficient Infrastructure.

(g) Preventing Pilferage.

(h) Use of Non-Conventional Sources of Energy:-

(i) Solar Energy.

(ii) Wind Energy.

(iii) Biogas.

Q1. Which are the obstacles of a standard obstacle course?

A1. A standard obstacle course consists of the following obstacles.
(a) Straight Balance. (b) Clear Jump.
(c) Gate Vault. (d) Zig-Zag Balance.
(e) High Wall. (f) Double Ditch.
(g) Right Hand Vault. (h) Left Hand Vault.
(j) Ramp. (k) Straight Balance.

Q2. Which are the safety measures to be ensured during the conduct of obstacle
training?

A2. Following safety measures must be ensured during the conduct of Obstacle
Course training to cadets :-

(a) Suitable and physically fit cadets only to be selected.

(b) Training to be given first in PT dress, later on with packs and weapon.

(c) Emphasis to be given on closing of individual timings and later team

timings.

(d) Wet and slippery obstacles and area to be avoided.

(e) Obstacles to be done under supervision of qualified instructors and

correct technique onlyto be used.

(f) Arrangement of first aid to be ensured.

Q3. What are the benefits of obstacle training?

A3. Benefits of Obstacles courses are as under:-

(a) Ensures physical fitness.

(b) Ensures flexibility.

(c) Ensures mental strength.

(d) Coordination and balance of mind and body.

(e) Improves risk taking ability.

(f) Evaluating problem solving skills.

(g) Over all team spirit.
