JAMMU: The NSS unit of Govt. College of Engineering & Technology, Jammu on 22nd of April organized a series of events in order to commemorate “Earth Day 2022” under the banner of Azadi ka Amrut Mohotsav – Celebrations of 75 years of India’s Independence.
These events were held under the patronage of Principal Prof. (Dr.) Sameru Sharma. In her message she said that every year, Earth Day is celebrated on 22nd April to raise awareness and create a global impact on environmental conservation.
Earth Day isn’t just about one day, one activist or one organisation. As citizens of the world, it is every person’s responsibility to nurture and preserve the bountiful gifts of nature, its resources, the environment and the atmosphere. It involves celebrating the home planet and taking steps towards caring and tending to its needs and well being.
GCET Jammu celebrated the day by organizing a seminar based on the theme “For Mother Earth Pollution is Not a Solution”. Around 60 students from different streams witnessed the event and out of them nine students spoke on the theme of the event.
In the second event all the students, NSS volunteers including the Programme officer took pledge for creating the awareness about pollution free environment and no use of plastics.
Both the events were organized by senior NSS volunteers Mandeep Singh, Paras Gupta, Sunidhi Sharma, Jaanvi Sharma, Nikansh Panotra and Rohit Kumar under the guidance of Dr. Raman Gupta, Programme Officer NSS.
He also said that in today’s time, with more and more young climate activists raising their voices, climate change trends being studied in greater detail and world leaders taking conscious steps to cut down on emissions, Earth Day helps to reflect on all the things done and the road that lies ahead.
The Principal of the college applauded the students for their zeal and patriotism and congratulated the team NSS for their sincere efforts for organizing such kind of events.
