Namchi, June 5th: SGC Namchi observed the world environment day under the banner of their institution’s Nature Club/ Eco club which has been fostering environmental mindfulness and providing students with hands-on experience on nature conservation. This year in accordance with the global theme of nature based climate solutions the college decided to focus on involving the students in a plantation drive requiring every participant to plant a sapling. The saplings were provided by Mr. Tseten Tashi Lepcha, DFO(T) Forest and Environment Department, Namchi. The NSS club of the institution distributed the saplings to all the 19 departments to be engaged in the activity. While speaking about the event and the importance of organising similar activities annually for the World Environment Day, Prof. Deepak Tiwari, Principal, SGC Namchi asserted that every student who graduates from our institution must have a sense of responsibility towards the long term health of our environment. The plantation drive saw a large number of students and teachers actively participating in the activity championing the cause for environmental preservation.
