Report on "Field Trip"
to Vermicompost Centre
Ramalakshmi Vermicompost
EastKhaza, Yalamanchilli Mandal, Narsapur District.
12/07/2022
The second B.Sc.(CBCBT) degree students of the 2021-2022 batch of MVN, JS & RVR Degree College went on a study tour to the vermicomposting centre, East Khaza, Yelamanchilli mandal, Narsapur District, on 12.07.2022. We started at the college at 10.00 AM and reached the Vermicomposting centre at 10.40 AM. The centre is located 13 Kilometers away from Malikipuram. The student group was lead by A.SND Prasad, Lecturer in-charge in Biochemistry and Biotechnology.
The vermicomposting centre (Ramalakshmi Vermicompost) present at East Khaza was started 25 years back ie, in 1997 by Sri. Srinivasa Raju an eminent agriculturist. He gave an overall view of Vermiculture and Vermi Composting. Vermiculture is the cultivation of earth worms. Vermicomposting is a process by which the earthworms are used to convert organic waste materials into a humus like material known as vermicompost. Mr. Srinivasa Raju explained that the Foundation centre is located in 5 acres in which 0.5 acres are utilized for vermicomposting. In the remaining 4.5 acres horticultural and commercial crops are
cultivated.
The process of vermicomposting starts with the construction of a vermibed. He told that beds can be constructed of different sizes depending on the space available. The vermibed are constructed under the shade of big trees like Neem and sheds also constructed. To construct a bed compost fertilizer must be used. Care should be taken to avoid plastic and glasses pieces in the compost which is used for vermibed. The bed should be sprinkled with water so that it is kept moist. If it is in the summer season more water must be sprinkled. Then selected earthworm species must be released onto the bed. In this centre two species namely Eisenia foetida (Chinese worm) and
Eudryllus segena is used. The director of the centre stated that roughly 3,000 earthworms are
present in one square meter area, and one kilogram contains 800 to 900 earthworms. i.e for one vermibed 4 to 5 kilograms of earthworms have to be used.
The earthworms used in vermicomposting are generally epigenetic that live on the surface of the bed. The earthworms feed on the organic waste present in the bed. The excreta of earthworms is ejected through the anus in the form of faecal pellets or worm
castings which look like sand crystals. In about 6 weeks some worm casting are seen on the surface of vermibed. In 3 to 4 months the bed is filled with rich black fertilizer comprising of partially decomposed bedding and worm castings which look like sand crystals Sri Srinivas Raju has shown us the collection procedure of vermicompost. He told that manual labour is necessary at this point of vermicomposting. For each bed 4 to 6 people are employed to collect the material in the form of sand crystals into a sieve and packed into Gunny bags & plastic bags.
Then they are sold to the farmers. From 400 tons of organic waste 150 ton of vermicompost can be prepared.
In these beds we collected earthworm’s cocoons and observed the emergence of small earthworms by pressing the cocoons. The net income in the 0.5 acres of vermicompost is about 1 lakhs per annum.
We thanked the director Sri. Srinivas Raju for explaining about Vermiculture and vermicomposting and clearing our doubts. We returned back from the centre at around
12.15 PM hoping to start a vermicompost bed in the college campus, and home and utilize the canteen waste that is vegetable and food waste for this purpose. We thank our Management and Principal for giving permission to
organizing a field trip to vermicomposting centre which is knowledgeable, skill based also
enjoyable.

Report on "Career Orientation Program"
on Medical Coding

About the Medical Coding:
Medical coding is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes. The diagnoses and procedure codes are taken from medical record documentation, such as transcription of physician's notes, laboratory and radiologic results, etc. Medical coding professionals help ensure the codes are applied correctly during the medical billing process, which includes abstracting the information from documentation, assigning the appropriate codes, and creating a claim to be paid by insurance carriers.
Medical coding happens every time you see a healthcare provider. The healthcare provider reviews your complaint and medical history, makes an expert assessment of what’s wrong and how to treat you, and documents your visit. That documentation is not only the patient’s ongoing record, it’s how the healthcare provider gets paid.
Eligibility Criteria for Medical Coding:
An individual must have a bachelor’s degree or master’s degree, preferably in life sciences to become a Medical Coder. Bachelor’s degrees in Biotechnology, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology, Physiotherapy, B.Pharma etc are some of the degrees that are useful to become a coder. He and she are also expected to have the requisite analytical ability to read and analyze the medical records.
He should also have relevant technical skills like knowing medical billing, CPT coding, ICD-10, Medical Terminology, and Data Entry. He is also expected to have some relevant soft skills like Good Communication Skills, Writing Skills, Organizational and research skills. If you are getting confused with the technical skills then please don’t get intimidated because those are the skills that you probably acquire during formal training.
Pathway to Become A Medical Coder:
Medical Coding is not everybody’s cup of tea because it requires formal training and certification before becoming a medical coder. Once the medical coding training program is completed, the next step is to pass the CPC (Certified Professional Coder) or CRC (Certified Risk Adjustment Coder) exams conducted by American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) and CCA (Certified Coding Associate) or CCS (Certified Coding Specialist) exams conducted by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Here are the steps that describe the process to become a certified medical coder and let your career reach its pinnacle.
Acquire medical coding training
Obtain industry certification
On Job training
Practical exposure
Practice the Sample Test papers
Once the person has completed training and acquired the medical coding certification the person will undoubtedly excel in his profession.
Why Coding is Important:
Medical coding is a specialist work and is a part of the financial and administrative functions of the medical industry. Medical coding and medical billing are two important facets of the medical industry but both are different terms. Here are the points which describe why Coding is important:-
Medical History, Treatment, Medicines, and Diagnosis of all the patients should be recorded and accounted.
Medical coding ensures appropriate and flawless payment to the Physician.
Medical Coding data helps in designing and planning the projects and schemes associated with the Healthcare Industry.
Medical coding is also a significant factor in obtaining insurance reimbursement as well as maintaining patient records. Insurers use the medical Coding Data and pay accordingly.
Medical claim adjudication process also uses Medical Coding Data. It is the process used by insurers to ascertain whether claims would be reimbursed, denied, or reduced.
Medical coding is a complex operation, so quality and accuracy in work are paramount in the entire Healthcare Industry.
Demand and Scope for Medical Coding in India:
The Global Healthcare industry is expanding swiftly and so is the career opportunities associated with it. Medical Coding is an excellent career option for the Indian youth. This sector is producing jobs not only in India and the United States but also in other developed and developing countries. There is a lot of scope in the medical coding industry in India mainly due to two reasons. Firstly, India is the favorite upcoming offshore destination for medical coding and there is a massive gap between the demand and supply of Medical Coders. Medical Coding can create millions of jobs for medical enthusiasts and the life sciences students in India.
These professionals have a critical role in the medical field today. The population is increasing, and so is the number of patients suffering from different diseases which means there will be more treatments, more tests, more diagnosis, and therefore more insurance claims. This is the befitting time to get a certification in medical coding that will land you a job in the healthcare industry along with the proper skills for the current job market.
