'Jungle Trip' was organized under हरिता- ECO CLUB SSD GIRLS' COLLEGE, BATHINDA
Under the able guidance of Principal Dr. Neeru Garg, A Forest Walk was conducted under the newly
formed "Harita" ECO Club. Gobindpura (Jhiri) was visited on 29-10-2023 organised by"SOCH"(Society for
Environment conservation and healing) and "Tree Lovers Society" Bathinda. Dr. Balwinder Singh
Lakhewali and Brijmohan Bhardwaj of "SOCH" are very famous and renowned environmentalists.
He shared his knowledge about the flora and fauna of the sand dunes of Malwa region with everyone.
He told that at some time fox and wolf were also seen in Gobindpura (Jhiri). This forest is also home to
many migratory birds. He highlighted the importance of very old trees like wild Kikar, Karir, Van and Pilu
in our lives and gave first-hand information about them to the students.
He further explained the importance of biodiversity and said that "humans, even snakes, have no right
to destroy it". Because this will destroy the natural food chain and may also cause environmental
disasters. 40 students enjoyed this nature walk for the first time.
The objective of this Eco Club of the college - "Harita" is to connect the young generation with the
natural environment, one of its many objectives, which was tried to be fulfilled well. Dr. Pomy Bansal
(Convenor), Ms. Monica Kapoor, Ms. Bindu Garg and Ms. Manju Rani, club members were involved in
successfully carrying out this walk.
Saint Baba Gurmeet ji inspired the youth with his words and on his behalf, langar of Sarso kaa saag,
makki di roti and lassi was also served to the students.
College President Advocate Sh. Sanjay Goyal, General Secretary Sh. Vikas Garg and College Principal Dr.
Neeru Garg appreciated this new beginning and wished the club to carry out more such activities in
future for holistic development of students.
