THALASSERY: A 10-day environmental awareness campaign held on at the Government Brennen College here recently proved to be eventful for students, teachers and the general public.
The college witnessed activities aimed at creating awareness on environmental issues among school and college students, teachers and the local population during a campaign that started on September 16 to coincide with the observance of International Day for Preservation of Ozone Layer. The campaign concluded on September 25.
The campaign had begun with a rally of 125 National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets, which was flagged off by college Principal Alphonsa Xavier. The cadets carried placards with messages highlighting issues such as ozone layer protection, sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, improvement of local environment, and energy management for better future.
According to the organisers, the rally attracted public attention as it marched to a nearby school and the Thalassery Campus of the Kannur University at Palayad. Students on the university campus also organised a popular lecture series in which experts in different fields spoke. The National Service Society unit in the college coordinated a cleaning campaign on the campus and started to grow a garden of medicinal plants belonging to over 100 species. The NCC cadets constructed a green house for collection, maintenance and distribution of ornamental plants in the college and the Dharmadam panchayat, the organisers said.
The environmental quiz programme was attended by 19 teams representing schools and colleges .
