Context:

The forests are important for the health and well-being of people, wildlife and our planet. They are home to roughly two-thirds of all land dwelling plants and animal species. But unfortunately Deforestation is increasing day by day. In order to fight against catastrophic climate change and global warming we have to stop deforestation. Our institution is situated in the forest area. There is a sanctuary named Katepurna 2 km away from the college. The people of this area know the forest but do not understand the importance of trees, wildlife and the forest. The villagers used tocut the trees for the purpose of cooking . As well as the villagers as they do not know the importance of wild life, they use to hunt the wild animals. The college tries to prevent them from hunting the wild animals and cutting the trees through our students. The college takes every step to help and save the wild life and forest. One of the missions of our institutions is to discharge social responsibility and accountability. Our students help people in various ways such as saving people who are wounded in road accidents, save people who have been caught in home fire, save snake bitten people and to help the police department to find drowned people.

Practice:

Every year at the beginning of the session, the college organizes the Forest study tour to the Katepurna Sanctuary. Near about 75 to 100 students participate in the tour. The forest officers and guards guide the students and provide information of various types of trees, medicinal plants, wild animals etc. and also make students understand the importance of preservation of forest. The students, after understanding the importance of trees create awareness among their parents family and Society. The students help the injured animals as well as save them.
