Campus notes: DAV College

Amritsar: The Postgraduate Department of MCVP of DAV College, Amritsar, organised a one-day nature walk trip to Harike Wildlife Sanctuary, conducted under the skill-enhancement programme. Principal Amardeep Gupta said such educational trips are essential for students as they help in obtaining practical knowledge of the subject so as to compliment the theoretic. The purpose of the trip was to identify different local and migratory birds and learn their significance, habitat, purpose of migration and behaviour. The principal informed the students that Harike Bird Sanctuary is a paradise for bird watchers as it attracts thousands of migratory birds during winter, some from as far as Siberia and the Arctic. It is situated on the confluence of the river Beas and Sutlej near Ferozepur and Amritsar border. The sanctuary encompasses an area of approximately 86 sq km, providing refuge to a large number of resident and migratory birds. The students used high power binoculars to observe activities of the birds from the watching towers. The Forest Department presented a documentary on flora and fauna of Harike. The officials guided the students on the techniques of identifying and counting birds as well as observing their behaviour.
