A Brief Synopsis of ENVIRON 2012

The Environ was not just an event by Eco One but this was the first time that any formal event has been organized just to celebrate environment. The event was started by following the tradition of Banaras Hindu University showing respect to the founder father of BHU Pt. Madan Mohan Malviyaji by lighting lamps in front of his statue by the eminent faculty members of the campus namely Prof. Guru Prasad Singh (Member of Core Group RGSC and Mentor of Eco One), Prof. S. K. Swaine (Dean of Students of RGSC), Dr. Ashish Singh (Hostel Coordinator, RGSC) and Dr. S.P. Singh (Sr. Lecturer, FMS). This was followed by singing BHU’s kulgeet.

Dean of students, RGSC Prof. S.K. Swaine congratulated the students on coming up with the Eco club and said this type of work shows the enthusiasm and creative hard work of the members of the club. He showed his support for the club and asked the club to keep doing such great work in future too.

The next program was a presentation on ‘Introduction to Eco One’ by the Head of Eco One Management Council, Debadityo Sinha.

Next was the much awaited talk by Prof. Guru Prasad Singh who is also mentor of the club.  As always, he spoke amazingly and told us about the ideology of Mahamna and environment conservation. He cited examples from tradition, culture and religion of India and their relevance towards environmental laws.
