Environmental Science [MC 401]

We as human beings are not an entity separate from the environment around us rather we are a constituent seamlessly integrated and co-exist with the environment around us. We are not an entity so separate from the environment that we can think of mastering and controlling it rather we must understand that each and every action of ours reflects on the environment and vice versa. Ancient wisdom drawn from Vedas about the environment and its sustenance reflects these ethos. There is a direct application of this wisdom even in modern times. Idea of an activity based course on environment protection is to sensitize the students on the above issues through following two type of activities:

Awareness Activities:

  • Small Group Meetings About Water Management, Promotion Of Recycle Use, Generation Of Less Waste, Avoiding Electricity Waste
  • Slogan Making Events
  • Poster Making Events
  • Cycle Rally
  • Lectures From Experts

Actual Activities:

  • Plantation
  • Gifting A Tree To See Its Full Growth
  • Cleanliness Drive
  • Drive For Segregation Of Waste
  • To Live Some Big Environmentalist For A Week Or So To Understand His Work
  • To Work In Kitchen Garden For Mess
