National Level Seminar on “Environmental Re-Engineering: Series-8 Year of Sustainable Tourism” 2017-18
Date: 9th December, 2017
A one-day national-level seminar was organized on Environmental Re-engineering: Series 8 on 9th December, 2017. The theme this year was “Year of Sustainable Tourism”. The United Nations General Assembly declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development recalling the potential of tourism to advance the universal 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The International Year aims to support a change in policies, business practices and consumer behavior towards a more sustainable tourism sector than can contribute effectively to the SDGs. The idea behind this is that it is a unique opportunity to build a more responsible and committed tourism sector that can capitalize its immense potential in terms of economic prosperity, social inclusion, peace and understanding, cultural and environmental preservation. Keeping these aspects in mind, our seminar focussed on themes like Environment sustainability and tourism and Eco tourism and Personal growth. It was a very fruitful day where a lot of information was shared by all the participants.
Paper Bag Making 2017-18
As part of the community outreach programme of the college, students were encouraged to make paper bags using old newspapers. The students were shown how to make the paper bags in a very easy manner and each student made at least 50-70 paper bags of various sizes. These bags were distributed to the local vegetable vendors and they expressed their support and appreciation by accepting the bags. They promised to use the bags as per the size and quantity of items. It was an enriching experience for the students and teachers as a very useful, environmental-friendly item emerge out of recyclable material.
