“Save water, preserve nature”
Over 2,000 students of Anna University-BIT campus here took a pledge to save and propagate conservation of water at a function organised by the Rotary Club of Tiruchirapalli Shakthi on university campus on Thursday.
They did a human formation of water drop, sparrow, globe and tree to mark the World Sparrow Day and World Forest Day.
N. Satheesh, IFS, District Forest Officer, called upon students to take up awareness programmes to save water, preserve nature and conserve energy as part of their extracurricular activities.
Prakash M. Swamy, president, America Tamil Sangam, New York, said villagers know the importance of water. Students should organise programmes to save water, protect nature and conserve energy.
T.Senthil Kumar, Dean of Anna University-BIT campus, said students are the right ambassadors to spread the message of water conservation.
Allirani Balaji, president, Rotary Club of Tiruchirapalli-Shakthi, said the club decided to initiate awareness projects in colleges to involve the future generation in a positive way.
“We are losing sparrows at the cost of development and should not lose water resources and reservoirs due to modernisation. We should share the earth with other living creatures to help avoid extinction of birds such as sparrows,” she said.
