Learning in midst of Nature
We are going to see our campus going green soon. Great initiatives are being taken by the student union in near future to transform the campus for the better. In an interview I have recently had with the leader Hemant, I have learnt the steps they are taking soon. Hemant is very active and energetic person. He talks very charmingly.
Hemant has mentioned that the student union will be planting about 500 saplings in various parts of the campus this weekend. Perhaps more will be planted in the coming weeks. This program is in accordance with the central and state government’s initiative to make India green. Permissions and arrangements have been already made. It’s good that all section leaders will be in the campaign. Furthermore, eminent scientist Dr. Rohit will be starting this program.
The way our vehicles will be parked at the institute will also change. There will be a new guarded parking lot at the gate. Only non polluting vehicles will be allowed inside. Bicycle owners will be very happy. Peace loving persons and environmentalists will be happy too. Only electric vehicles, CNG vehicles, electric personal transporter and electric roller skates will be allowed in the campus. That will be good news to the students having these gadgets already.
Moving with the latest technologies, we will have solar energy to provide electricity to our administrative building, library and workshops. That is a good step into the 21st century. An attraction in the campus will be two small water ponds with beautiful fish in them. I am sure all our colleagues will join me in congratulating our president kvn for the good step in beautifying the campus as well as saving the environment.
Our institute magazine “Glowing Fire” will cover the entire program and will give a full report in the next issue.
