NATURE CLUB
The Nature Club of H.R. College is
a committed club of 50 members
with a zest for protection and a
passion for sensitizing the youth
about the various issues that plague
the country and Mumbai in
particular. The members of our club
have attempted for this golden
jubilee year to work at two distinct
levels one, of generating awareness
in the college and among the youth
and at the second level, to train and
create ourselves to move towards
our aim of improving the
environment of our city.
The NCHR orientation was held on
Monday, 13th July, 2009, in the
presence of our chief guest, Mrs
Kirti Manian, of the British
Council. Our Principal and Hon'ble
Sheriff of Mumbai, Dr. Indu
Shahani, inducted the core
committee by presenting them with
their badges. Dr. Shahani
complimented the all girls team of
core committee which pledged to
take |
|
forward the HR dream of going
green. The other members were
oriented about the forthcoming events for this academic year.
On 2nd August, 2009 the club
organised a monsoon trek in
the beautiful hills of the
Sayadris. The trek site was
Prabal about 15 Kms from
Panvel at the outskirts of
Mumbai. About 105 students
participated in the trek. Amidst
the lush hills, we learnt our first
lessons of bonding with each
other. Disciplineand confidence in oneself was the key to reaching
our goal which was the summit. It took us 2
hours to reach the hill top. Keeping our intention
of making the youth better prepared citizens, the
club organised a trip to the BMC to attend a
workshop on Disaster Management. The session
was interactive and the officers from the Fire
Brigade and the Indian Army too met the
members. The Disaster Management Cell was
also shown to the participants. One of our
members, Raaj Kumar Girish Chandiramani,
participated in an Intercollegiate Poster Making
Competition, held on October 15, 2009 in
Kamladevi Gauridutt Mittal College of Arts and
Commerce, Malad, on Climate Change and
bagged the second position.
Between 5th and 10th October, we organised an
'E'Week spread over five days with numerous
activities related to environmental awareness
and concern. The first event organised was a
movie screening 'Wall-E'. It was a movie about
the accumulation of waste in the environment
and the impact of the same on the lives of the
people in this world several years in the future.
The second event dealt with creating some
useful products out of waste materials. There
was an overwhelming response from the
students for the event which was titled "Best out
of Waste". The winners were: Nirali Chheda and
Khusboo Rupani who made wind chimes, pen
stands, CD racks, among others. Day three, was
Photography competition held for two separate
categories, 'Mumbai Meri Jaan' and 'Nature'.
There was also an overwhelming response for
the competition and the choice of the winner was
indeed difficult. However, the first position for
the category on Nature was given to Kush Shah,
and that for Mumbai meri Jaan was given to
Yash Gupta.
Our fourth day, was dedicated towards making
ourselves better citizens of tomorrow. We
held a 'Plastic Awareness Campaign',
which highlighted the problems
associated with plastic and provided some
alternative suggestions for the same. The
entire college participated in the
campaign in which red thumb prints were
taken after generating awareness in
support of our movement. We appreciate
the support we got from the principal, staff
and the students.
NCHR, proudly co organised the College
Annual day with GEMS and PSDS on the
23rd Dec., 2009. Dr. Indu Shahani,
Sheriff of Mumbai & Principal was the
Chief Guest. There were over 1000
recipients of the awards which included
Superstars, club wise achievers, academic
achievers and major trophies won in the
Inter-collegiate competitions by Choice
and the Sports Council.
The NCHR would like to congratulate all
the winners for being winners all the way
especially, Jivvya Shahani, for wining an
all rounder award.
