Principal Speaks
Dear Students,
It gives me immense pleasure in informing you that ours is one of the few select P. U. Colleges of the state to receive a one – time grant from the Govt. of Karnataka under the aegis of Environmental Management and Policy Research Institute (EMPRI). I call upon you to participate wholeheartedly in the programmes already chalked out.
Environment protection is the issue of utmost importance. We are, if we have our environment, if not, destruction of mankind is a certainty. Excessive industrialisation, Globalisation, an unnecessary luxurious life is taking the ecology to the brink of destruction. Ignorance and carelessness towards environment should be overcome by educating the society and the efforts should begin with you, students, who are a part of the present society and are the future of the world.
Each one of us knows about the abundance of wealth found at Sri Ananthapadmanabha Temple, Trivandrum. The Royal family of Trivandrum is notable for being the guardian of this wealth without using it for themselves. It is said that the members of the royal family would wipe their feet even when leaving the temple as they felt even a dust particle from the temple was property of the temple and it wasn’t to be found elsewhere. This should be our guide. The abundance of wealth provided to us by the nature should be protected; it should flourish for the future generations.
The Eco club has a very important role to play in this direction. The launching of the website is one of the activities of the Eco club, which is a step in the right direction. A revolution for the ecology may not be possible but repeating the ideas and thoughts would definitely bring about awareness in the minds of the students and lead to evolution of protectionism. Various programmes organised by the Eco club would light the way towards real progress. The Earth, its forests, water resources, the air, etc. are ours to use but not to abuse. Let us use our independence and freedom in understanding our responsibilities towards future generations. A good deed done is a reward in itself. Let us not waste the opportunities.
JAI HIND.
