NSS unit celebrates pravesh utsav

Karnal: In an initiative to promote environmental conservation and good-living, the NSS units of Dyal Singh College, Karnal, celebrated pravesh utsav as prakriti mahotsav by distributing saplings to new students. The programme, organised at the college campus, was aimed at inculcating a sense of responsibility towards nature among the students. The distribution drive was inaugurated by Principal Ashima Gakkhar, who emphasised the importance of planting trees to combat climate change and increase green cover. She said that the initiative not only welcomed our new students but encouraged them to actively contribute towards conserving the environment. The NSS volunteers also set up a help desk at the main gate to address any problems the new students might be facing. The programme saw enthusiastic participation from both students and faculty members. Each new student was given a sapling and they pledged to nurture it. The plants included several indigenous species such as neem, peepal, gulmohar, tulsi, guava, jamun, litchi, which were selected for their benefits and adaptability to the local climate.
